Tourism  
Moscow has changed more in the last decade than over the previous half century. Once-empty shops have become expensive restaurants, designer boutiques and 24-hour convenience stores. Nightlife, which used to be restricted to cheesy singers at bad restaurants, has exploded into one of the most vibrant and decadent party scenes in Europe.

There's something very invigorating about observing the city's breakneck sprint toward the future, especially while visiting its famous landmarks of the past.
