What is expensive in Russian Capital
The prices also depend on location. Shops and restaurants in the center of Moscow are more expensive because of location and rental costs. For instance very expensive streets are Tverskaya Street, Kutuzovsky Avenue, Arbat Street and some others.
Anyway, not everything in Moscow is very expensive. Moscow public transport is three times cheaper than in some European capitals. Petrol is also twice cheaper. Speaking about food and markets, imported products are expensive because of custom cleaning as we have mentioned above.
Today Russian Government actively is actively pursuing a policy of import substitution which includes development and strengthening of domestic production. In capital food stores you can easily find Russian cheese, sausages, meat, fruits and vegetables and hundreds of other products which are less expensive than imported ones.
Internet and mobile communication in Russia is also very cheap. In average good internet will cost you 10 dollars per month and cell phone communication is also around 7-10 dollars.
What about taxi? It is safe and ok. Average cost will be around 10-15 dollars. Today using mobile phone applications taxi prices start from 1,5-2 dollars.
Restaurants and cafes?
Cup of coffee – 4-5 dollars, breakfast – 5-8 dollars, lunch and dinner 10-20 dollars without alcohol beverage drinks (for one person). Its middle price in fashionable and lux restaurant you will pay for your meal 2-3 times more. Tips 10-15%.
And of course restaurants in Moscow depends on location brand and the popularity of the owner. In Moscow a special attention is paid to a person or restaurants holding opened this or that location.
