01 Sep 2008 until 29 Mar 2009

One for the boys

OK, so this type of weekend isn't limited to autumn, but we're assuming that you don't want to go in the busy Christmas / high summer periods. What Moscow offers a pleasure seeking group of guys is out and out decadence. This is the place to head for long nights of wild partying surrounded by beautiful women, all fuelled by the best vodka that money can buy. What better place to blow that bonus (or drown your sub-prime sorrows). ...
