@olga_okphoto
Olga is having lovely and sweet page. Now she publishes pictures among warm-colored autumn leaves with a cup of coffee. Her posts are in top of hashtag #mustsee_moscow among other Moscow’s instagram accounts. For instance in one of the new ones she recommends best parks and places to relax in Moscow. So you’ll definitely find something to visit here.
@alexandermir
Alexander’s instagram account advantage is high level photography. Except streets, buildings and roofs, he also captures characters of real Muscovites. We can read their stories in their faces and shapes. Mysterious and beautiful instagram account!
@vi66nya
This page is really wonderful! Aigul started her instagram page motivated with two passions: bicycle rides and photography. Her Moscow’s instagram account have been existing for 5 years and no doubts it’s one of the best. We now can see more diverse pictures from other trips, but still if you surf this profile carefully, you’ll get a lot of locations and ideas for photos from Moscow. Highly recommended for travel bloggers!
@moscow_chanel_
Each photo in @Moscow_channel_ is made by different people, and that’s why this instagram is very diverse and interesting. So its admin picks up the best of Moscow accounts and publish them. Therefore it’s really stunning and worthy of being followed! There is also a bonus in additional interesting info about what we see. For example attached photo contains a list of names of famous Moscow’s Stalin skyscrapers, use it!
@mosquarium
The other impressive example of shared instagram account is @mosquarium. It’s unique because they allow famous Muscovites to lead it. He or she could be a professional photographer or a blogger, you never know. Every picture has a various post. Sometimes texts are uncommon historical notes or some romantic poem or a quote. Enjoy Moscow from different Muscovites’ eyes!
@iloveoldmoscow
Moscow is unbelievably old city. It exists already 872 years! Wanna take a look at its historical photo archive? Just open your instagram app and follow certain accounts. For instance, @iloveoldmoscow will introduce you Moscow in late 19 – early 20 centuries, just the time when first photos appeared. Imagine instagram 100 years ago, atmospheric indeed!
@moscow_old
Here is a similar one, but publishing pictures of Soviet Moscow. If you have a chance to listen to some Russian who lived at that time – never lose it! They say it was so different from all what we see now and they really miss Soviet Russia. Use this Old Moscow’s instagram account to answer why.
@kirbase
This profile has an adventurous soul. See Moscow from roofers point of view. Certainly we’re not recommending you to try this because it could be dangerous. But looking at it is simply fantastic!
@artem_dvr
Artem is another professional Moscow photographer. Both from roofs and ground his photos give a magical feeling. It’s hard to not fall in love with Moscow through his profile. In case you did he even created a section “wallpapers” in highlighted stories, and they’re amazing!
@luckyxide
Here is an another point of vision. Architecture lovers, it’s time for you! Tatiana captures Moscow’ buildings facades and tells us all their highlights and interesting facts. So it’s really helpful if you wish to know the city deeper!
@hidden_moscow
As soon as you know about Moscow’s architecture in previous instagram account you may become really curious what might be covered inside. Follow @hidden_moscow and discover the best Moscow’s interiors. These photos are valuable, because mostly they are closed for public. The author gives a lot of details and add notes about every doorknob.
@mosmetro
Moscow metro is considered to be one of the most beautiful and busiest subways in the world. But actually that’s not all! Every year it’s becoming more and more practical and comfortable. Some Muscovites even refuse cars and use Metropolitan instead. It feels like the innovative underground town. In their official account @mosmetro publishes useful information about all new stations, transport cards, innovations and entertainment underground. Sounds like Moscow’s Disneyland, so don’t lose a chance to try it!
@placechanged
We are glad to introduce a time machine… This is an experience, which you can try looking through the next recommended instagram account :) Moscow is changing rapidly. People even say that it doesn’t have a certain face. Some things are becoming better, while others are getting worse. You decide. And this account will help you transfer from one time to another!
@marinerrra
Moscow may seem even busy and cruel, and partly it’s true. Many people come here to build career and keep really strict lifestyle. Actually good for them! But it’s not about everyone. There is a big place for romance and coziness in Moscow too. Olga, the owner of this Instagram account, shows us warm sweetheart city through film photography. Feeling romance in town is really the experience beyond words as long as you find your couple-city. Maybe Moscow is yours?
@ted.ns
This profile is fascinating! Simple and sophisticated at the same time. Firstly the author shows us the beauty of Moscow’s center, but also uncovers the truth of Russian winters there. And secondly this profile is also worthy to see because of incredible nature shots from other remote parts of Russia. Moscow isn’t everything we are proud of. So follow him and get inspired with Russian nature!
@elena.krizhevskaya
This is another diamond among Moscow’s instagram accounts. Elena is really knowledgeable about everything in Moscow and at the same time creative in photography. She became the winner of Best of Russia 2016 photography. In addition Elena wrote the book “Architectural Moscow”. In fact you can use her instagram page as a guide book. Some of her posts include: Top 10 ladders of Moscow, The best tram routes, The list of favorite avenues in Moscow and more. Moreover, she translates every text into English too. To sum up, undoubtedly like and subscribe!
@rozanov.mikhail
This profile looks and feels like conceptional magazine. All black and white, forms, lines, roads, glass. Seeing the beauty of the city in empty buildings is a unique talent. So follow him, if you want some visual pleasure!
@zarinnel
Different from above one, this is a gentle Moscow’s instagram account through girl’s eyes. Now her photos are full of autumn leaves and colours. So it could be helpful to put captured places on a map, and take a walking tour around Moscow.
@cozymoscow
Another Moscow’s instagram account with cosy pictures of remote areas. The light in open window, warm lamps, rain, autumn leaves and village nature. Real melancholy life in every photo.
@ivankoms
Foggy and mysterious Moscow is represented in another roofer’s instagram account. We still remind you that it’s dangerous. But look at these stunning views!
