Moscow in August

Moscow in August 2025 – Is it worth it? Weather and reviews, air temperature and rains, how to dress, prices in hotels and excursions. What to see and where to go in Moscow in early August and on the threshold of September, whether the salutes are given what to visit with the children and where to go in the vicinity, says Eurotraveler.

August is the time to leave. And not necessarily on the “warm” seas.

For both in Russia or abroad even in summer in an excess of places, for which you without regrets will exchange a beach vacation!

Some captivate any potential traveler, regardless of a month. Others begin to look “interesting” only upon careful examination – the same Moscow in August Navkid does not look like a “city of dreams”.

After all, most potential tourists want to relax in one way or another, take a breath, get enough of bright, but necessarily positive impressions. Is it possible to get all this in the heart of a huge, and maybe in general – a red -hot – a metropolis?

We are sure that yes. And first of all, because by mid-July and early August, Moscow is very empty!

A significant share of citizens goes to rest-which is not surprising, with the capital’s financial capabilities?! And one more, also rather big, goes to visit his “small homeland”, relatives and acquaintances.

As a result, traffic jams are dissolved as if by the wave of a magic wand, and in the subway it becomes if not free, it is still less crowded. As for museums and other interesting places in Moscow, they are mainly visited in the summer by tourists. Among which, as it is easy to guess, in 2025 there will be not too many foreigners.

Add to this weather, which is distinguished by an abundance of sunny and just hot days. Plus, decreasing prices in hotels – what do you order them to do if everything is in the “south”?

As a result, at the exit you will receive an incredibly tasty tourist “dessert”. Who is drawn to try!

Convinced? Then read on – we collected all the information necessary for organizing the trip!

Weather in Moscow in August

From year to year it demonstrates a clear interest in tourists. Trying not too much to annoy them with rains and a strong wind. And at the same time warming the atmosphere to the values ​​comfortable for hiking.

Sometimes on this path even bending the stick – in another August, the air temperature in Moscow seems to get stuck around at +30 ° C. As in the beginning or middle of the month, and sometimes even at its end.

We will believe, of course, that this is an exception to the rules. Since statistically the weather in Moscow throughout August is slightly less frying. And air temperatures prefer to live in a much more acceptable range of +23-28 degrees Celsius.

At night, of course, the metropolitan atmosphere cools to +15-20 ° C. In other seasons, at the end of summer, after sunset, temperatures are also recorded about +7-10 ° C.

Chilly? Not without it. But who will argue that such weather is best suited for hiking and generally a long stay in the air.

The duration of the day in the Third Rome in the final month of summer will also delight the inquisitive traveler. Since, for example, on August 1, the Sun in Moscow rises at half -past over a morning. And rolls over the horizon without twenty -nine in the evening. That is, the longitude of the day exceeds 16 hours.

On the eve of the day of knowledge, Svetilo does all the same at 5.30 and 20.10,

What to see

As a result, you will have more than enough time to see the mansions leading their history since the time of Ivan the Terrible. Along the way, to study the secrets of the capital’s modernity and see all the seven famous Stalinist skyscrapers. And not only them – unusual excursion routes in Moscow are calculated in dozens!

The weather will probably not only allow, but also provoke you to visit the Sparrow Hills and go up to the survey site at Moscow State University. Take a walk near the patriarchal ponds and get acquainted with Bulgakovskaya Moscow. Visit the Izmailovsky Kremlin and the largest flea market in the city, visit Peredelkino or Kolomenskoye.

Yes, you never know … You can go from Moscow a lot of where. Both just 1 day, and a little more!

Precipitation

The average volume of precipitation falling in August is small – up to 50 mm per month. Livne rains and strong thunders, so characteristic of Moscow in June and July, are unlikely at the finish of summer. So in the worst case, you should prepare for the rain lasting 1-2 hours.

How to dress

Light clothing of light tones that will not allow you to overheat, on a sultry noon, inspecting the sights of the Kremlin or walking along China-Gorod-the most correct choice for those who will decide to visit Moscow at the outcome of summer. Perhaps it is worth taking away bathing with you – suddenly the opportunity to plunge!

Of course, not in the fountains of Gorky Park – leave this traditional entertainment for paratroopers for August 2. And, for example, in a hotel pool or in one of the many water parks of a metropolis.

Someone wants to ride to the silver boron, where the best beaches in the Moscow Region are located!

In addition to summer clothes, things should be present in the suitcase that can warm during the evening cruise on the Moscow River. Well, or on those rare days when the air temperature refuses to rise above +18-20 ° C.

It may well be in demand and light raincoat. For the chance to get into the rain during a visit lasting 5-7 days is far from microscopic.

Prices 2025

The largest in Moscow and – perhaps – even in Europe, the hotel complex in Izmailovo to this day is the most uncomplicated way to solve the problem with placement. Although today, probably, you can swing to something more comfortable.

For example, we even rent apartments in Moscow for 2-3 days-that is, private apartments. Although, sinful, out of habit, we do it near the Izmailovsky forest park, the largest in the capital, and a pair of metro stations: Pervomaiskaya and Partizanskaya.

Used to what to do, like this area …

Again, nearby: the Izmailovsky Kremlin and the largest flea market in Moscow, where very interesting old things come from very interesting

And near the Partizanskaya metro station there are cafes and fast food restaurants. You can get from it to the city center, the “Revolution Square” in a maximum of 25 minutes.

Viewed bus excursions are not too expensive in Moscow – in just a thousand 1,500 rubles you will be drove past all the main attractions. Both in the afternoon, and – if desired – a romantic velvet evening.

A walk with a guide to the metropolitan area of ​​skyscrapers, Moscow City, can cost at all 600-800 rubles. But the excursions of the individual format by central quarters are more expensive-from 4-5 thousand. True, not for one, but for all participants (usually up to 4 people).

Naturally, all Moscow museums will work! Starting from the arms chamber in the Kremlin and the Historical Museum on Red Square. And by no means ending with the Tretyakov Gallery in Lavrushinsky Lane and the Pushkin Museum of Lane by A. S. Pushkin.

Moreover, we already talked about this in the announcement – you can admire the masterpieces, evaluate the pictures of recognized geniuses of world art by no means in the crowd. In any case, not as thick as in the peak months of summer: in June and July.

On a not too hot day, we recommend that you visit the Moscow Zoo – children will definitely like it there. Well, to plan for some evening to visit the presentation of the Nikulin circus on Tsvetnoy Boulevard.

Even in August, on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, they give performances there. Tickets cost – from 1,500 to 8,000 rubles!

Very interesting houses were preserved in Basmannaya Sloboda, northeast of Red Square. Panoram lovers will delight climbing the Ostankino TV tower. Experts of Russian history and technology will undoubtedly be liked by the exposition of the Cosmonautics Museum and visiting VDNH.

Do not forget about trips to famous palace and park ensembles on the outskirts of Moscow.

The ensemble is visually very beautiful and well -groomed in Tsaritsyno. There are always a lot of visitors in the Kolomenskoye Museum-Reserve, where the residence of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich is recreated.

With great pleasure, both citizens and nonresident tourists visit the Arkhangelsk atmospheric estate. The suburban summer ex-residence of the princes of the Yusupovs, whose wealth almost exceeded the imperial. Just keep in mind that the palace itself has been reconstructed for several years now, so only the park can be open to visit.
