Russia's capital will host this year's global soccer championship, and Kayak predicts a huge surge in tourism as a result. David Solomito, Kayak travel expert and vice president, NA marketing, says there are so many other reasons to visit Moscow in addition to the tournament.
"The world-famous Red Square is in the center of everything, making it a great jumping-off place to start your trip and get acquainted with the city. The Kremlin is a sight to see, and there's plenty to do — make sure to give yourself at least half a day to explore the many churches and museums within."
Solomito also reminds US citizens that they need a visa to enter the country and recommends applying at least 60 days in advance to be on the safe side.
Kayak's pick for when to go: June to July
