Moscow is a dynamic, exiting city offering a large cultural heritage and an astonishing variety of entertainments. The conference is located right in the city center, in walking distance to many important places and monuments. For all those who have not yet been to Moscow the conference will provide a unique opportunity to visit this vibrant city in an organized and comfortable fashion.

If you have extra time, it is worthwhile to combine the conference with a trip to St. Petersburg or the famous cities of the Golden Ring: Suzdal, Yaroslavl and Sergiev Posad. We will assist you in making travel arrangements. For those seeking adventures travelling eastwards, the Trans-Siberian Railway might be an option.

Last but not least, contrary to the impression conveyed in the news, Moscow is a safe place. After living there for more than three years I dare to say that, for ordinary tourists, it is probably safer than many large cities in Western Europe and the United States. This assessment is regularly confirmed by professional inquiries among expatriates living in Moscow.
