Moscow Released 'Discover Moscow' Platform in Turkish for Turkish Tourists

The increasing interest of Turkish tourists in Moscow, the capital of Russia, has prompted city officials to take new and concrete steps. The Moscow Tourism Committee has officially launched the Turkish language option for 'Discover Moscow', the city's official tourism portal. The visit of more than 75 thousand Turkish tourists to the city in 2025 is a clear indication of how strong the tourism potential in the region is. Additionally, in the first quarter of 2026, the number of visitors from Turkey increased by 8 percent compared to the same period last year, reaching 18 thousand 500 people. These positive statistics prove how valuable and strategic the Turkish market is for Moscow.

The newly launched digital platform has been made available to Turkish-speaking travelers via the address discover.moscow/tr. This comprehensive guide has been specially designed to make visitors' travel planning much easier and more enjoyable. Through the platform, tourists have the opportunity to explore in detail the historical and cultural routes, famous parks, restaurants, and shopping districts of the city. Furthermore, thanks to seasonal recommendations, practical planning tools, and local tips, guests can easily make all their holiday plans before arriving in the city. This innovative initiative reflects Moscow's commitment to providing a personalized, accessible, and highly comfortable experience for its Turkish guests.

One of the most important factors behind the further facilitation of travels to Moscow is the eased visa processes. Turkish citizens can now apply for the electronic visa (e-visa) system without needing any invitation or approval document. Thanks to this highly understandable and user-friendly digital system, the entire application process is conducted completely online. The speed of the application procedures has also won great appreciation from tourists, with visa processes being completed in an average of just four days. This practical application minimizes bureaucratic burdens and continuously and sustainably increases the interest of Turkish tourists in the Russian capital.

Another critical element supporting this impressive growth trend in tourism is the highly developed aviation network between the two countries. Through the joint efforts of various airlines, regular flights are operated connecting major cities of Turkey directly to the Russian capital. In this context, the availability of more than 200 direct flights weekly maximizes accessibility. Rich flight options also offer passengers flexible travel dates and competitive price advantages. This strong air transportation infrastructure has made Moscow an attractive urban destination at a regional level for Turkish visitors.

The summer season stands out as one of the most suitable and enjoyable times to explore Moscow's historical wealth, gastronomy, shopping opportunities, and modern urban life. The city's mild summer weather, long daylight hours, and vast green areas allow travelers to engage in outdoor activities all day long. What makes this period even more special is the comprehensive 'Summer in Moscow' project, which brings culture and art to every corner of the city. Concerts, creative workshops, gastronomy areas, and colorful flower installations are brought to the city's parks and streets. Covering more than 500 venues across the city, this massive project allows guests to experience the capital as a dynamic and entertaining open-air cultural hub, far beyond traditional sightseeing routes.
