They say that there’s no perfect time and place for love to happen. But it can be helpful when your country has just qualified for the FIFA World Cup.
As Egypt rejoices at its World Cup qualification for the first time since 1990, the hopeless romantic in every Egyptian man is yearning for something a little more sentimental—a date with a Russian girl.
Many Egyptian men took to the books to learn about the art of charm in Russian; others sought the help of Google to translate pickup lines to employ on their quest for romance in Moscow.
Armed with clever Russian pickup lines, Egyptian men are all geared up for their next win. Don’t fret; the Russian capital will make it easier for your Russian date to swoon over you in no time.
The Russian capital of Moscow is one of the most romantic cities in Europe, thanks to stunning garden, golden domed castles, nippy breezes (even in summer), charming cafes and avant-garde architecture.
Here are our top picks for the perfect Russian date in Moscow
First Date
Turandot Restaurant
Opera-themed restaurant— could it be more romantic than this? Turandot is an opera-themed restaurant that reimagines all the ostentation of Puccini’s masterpiece with exquisite gold finishing and a frescoed vaulting to boot. The cuisine is Asian infused.
Back to the USSR
Mosfilm Movie Studio
Take a step back in time to the 19th century and experience Moscow’s version of Hollywood. Mosfilm Movie Studio hosts an eclectic collectables of vintage automobiles, modern film sets, movie costumes and accessories from several Soviet classics. It’s only possible to tour the Mosifim studio grounds as part of a tour.
Where to Pop the Question
The Hermitage Garden
This is where you can no longer resist the nagging thought of settling down and starting a family. The Hermitage Garden is a top romantic spot right at the heart of Moscow. But before you waltz into matrimonial bliss, explore the Hermitage Garden. In summer, the garden hosts enchanting jazz music evenings and other festivities. The most iconic symbol of the Hermitage garden is a huge silver heart, with a height of about 3.5 meters. Legend has that if you make a wish as you go through the silver heart, your wish will come true.
