Top Architecture in Moscow

If you can, visit during one of the liturgical services. It was a unique experience for me, and you get to see the cathedral come alive with hymns and prayers.

My tip would be to explore the gardens around the cathedral after your visit. It’s a nice spot to relax and snap some beautiful pictures, especially in spring!

I suggest going during the week instead of the weekend. It was way less crowded for me, so I could enjoy the beauty without being jostled around.

My advice is to bring a little cash for the donation box inside. It'll help you feel more connected to the place, and it's a good way to support its upkeep.

If you're planning to visit, try to go around 9 AM. It's much less crowded then and you'll get better photos without a million people around.

I recommend visiting during Ramadan if you can. The atmosphere is super special then, and they often have events and food stands outside.
