Moscow is a unique city, simultaneously east and west, stiff and prim yet warm and hospitable. Discover it for yourself with this guidebook from The Moscow Times, and you'll find out which Moscow restaurant has the great Frenchman Pierre Garnier as head chef, where you can find the best selection of fresh fish and seafood, where you can rent a yacht and learn to play golf.

Only the best has been selected for the Life Style Guide: Hotels that guarantee the highest standards of service, restaurants that will bowl you over with their fine cuisine, beauty salons and spas capable of competing with the world’s most famous beauty clinics. Some of them you may already know; some you will meet for the first time — we'll be very happy if we managed to surprise you.

Start with the “Restaurants, Bars, Clubs” section to find the perfect venue for a romantic date or a business meeting, check out “Shopping” in search of gifts, carefully look through “Beauty Salons,” don’t forget to take out a gym membership in January, and leave “Yacht clubs” and “Golf Clubs” for the summer. Let's spend this coming year together!
