It boasts the most billionaires, the most expensive cups of coffee and – coming soon – the most colossal building in the world.<br />It is also the most expensive and, according to one poll, the most unfriendly city in the world. Is it any wonder that a popular nightclub is called simply The Most?<br />Moscow may occupy the number one spot, but these lists hardly capture the reality – the vitality – of the capital. Free (relatively) from the strictures of censorship and hardship, <a href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/destinationRedirector?atlasId=360415">Russia</a>’s capital city is experiencing a burst of creative energy, evident in all aspects of contemporary culture. Former factories and deserted warehouses have been converted into edgy art galleries and intriguing <a href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/russia/moscow/entertainment-nightlife/374091">underground clubs</a>. World-class venues such as the <a href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/russia/moscow/sights/373443">Pushkin Fine Arts Museum</a> are experimenting and expanding. Tchaikovsky and Chekhov are well represented at Moscow <a href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/russia/moscow/entertainment-nightlife/results-100">theatres</a> but you can also see world premieres by up-and-coming composers, choreographers and playwrights. Foodies flock to <a href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/russia/moscow/restaurants/373849">wine bars</a>, <a href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/russia/moscow/restaurants/373855">coffee bars</a>, sushi bars and even beer bars, while night owls enjoy a dynamic scene of exclusive nightclubs, bohemian <a href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/russia/moscow/restaurants/373603">art cafés</a>, underground blues bars and drink-up dives.<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-kvvNNa6E-Vg/UELTxsB6ZLI/AAAAAAAAR0o/dBR377neZwQ/s1600/Moscow-Russia+18.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-kvvNNa6E-Vg/UELTxsB6ZLI/AAAAAAAAR0o/dBR377neZwQ/s320/Moscow-Russia+18.jpg" width="320" /></a>The <a href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/russia/moscow/sights/373581">ancient city</a> has always been a haven for history buffs. The red-brick towers of the <a href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/russia/moscow/sights/373413">Kremlin</a> occupy the founding site of Moscow; churches and monuments remember <a href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/russia/moscow/sights/373833">fallen heroes</a> and victorious battles; and remains of the Soviet state are scattered all around the city. Even history is being examined in innovative ways, as new museums broach subjects long brushed under the carpet.<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0EDYtCwSeEM/UELTmUuQjxI/AAAAAAAARzs/7v9zSEs1qco/s1600/Moscow-Russia+11.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="217" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0EDYtCwSeEM/UELTmUuQjxI/AAAAAAAARzs/7v9zSEs1qco/s320/Moscow-Russia+11.jpg" width="320" /></a>The capital is even experiencing an unprecedented growth in birth rates (Muscovites are really getting busy). From artistry and history to recreation and procreation, Moscow is a cauldron of creativity. Dare we say that it is so much <i>more</i> than The Most?<br />Ready to go?

Even history is being examined in innovative ways, as new museums broach subjects long brushed under the carpet.<br />The capital is even experiencing an unprecedented growth in birth rates (Muscovites are really getting busy). From artistry and history to recreation and procreation, Moscow is a cauldron of creativity.
