Poklonnaya Hill
Poklonnaya, literally meaning 'bow down', lies in the west part
of Moscow and was historically a spot for Western visitors of the
city to pay homage before entering the city. Today it is a beacon
to Russia's military strength, having withstood invasions by both
Napoleon and Hitler. Atop the hill is Victory Park which provides a
scenic walk and contains a memorial Mosque and Synagogue for
victims of the war and an open air museum dedicated to the victory
over Napoleon.

Money
The official currency is the Rouble (RUB), which is divided into
100 kopeks. Most major credit cards, like Visa and Mastercard are
accepted in the larger hotels and at places that deal with foreign
tourists. Currency can be changed at banks, currency exchange
booths and hotels. Travellers cheques are difficult and expensive
to cash, but if necessary it is advised to take them in US Dollars
or Euro. ATMs are widely available in major cities. It is hard to
get rubles outside Russia and travellers are advised to take good
condition US dollars or Euro notes to change once there. It is
illegal to pay for goods or services in hard currency, though it is
often accepted.
