Good News Hostel is one of our favourites in Moscow but they’re not taking guests right now. We’re not sure if they’re closed for good but we hope they’ll come back soon.

Top Things to do in Basmanny:

• Rent paddleboats in the summer or ice skates in the winter and enjoy Chistye Prudy, a clean, quiet and quaint pond in that runs along the Boulevard Ring.
• Step back in time and see Lubyanka, headquarters of the infamous Russian KGB.
• Hop on a bike and enjoy the crisscrossing paths through Sokolniki park, home to a manicured rose garden, cool places to eat, and an open-air swimming pool.
• Enjoy Russia’s biggest toy store, Central Children’s Store, located just west of the Basmanny neighborhood.
• Head 60m underground and explore Bunker-42 Cold War Museum, a 700 square meter museum housed in a defunct Cold War communications centre.
• Slow down and smell the roses and ornamental flowers at Aptekarsky Ogorod, Moscow’s pleasant and pretty botanical garden.

It looks exactly like a normal belt  except for a SECRET interior pocket perfectly designed to hide a wad of cash, a passport photocopy or anything else you may wish to hide. Never get caught with your pants down again! (Unless you want to…)

Here’s what people usually ask us about the areas of Moscow and where to stay.

What is the best neighborhood to stay in Moscow?

Kitay-Gorod is our pick for the best neighborhood in Moscow – especially if it is your first time here. It is centrally located and full of quirky hostels like Kremlin Lights .

Which places to stay in Moscow are good for families?

Basmanny is known as an oasis within the bustling Moscow city. This makes it great for families! There are family-friendly hotels too like, Loft Hotel H11 .

Where should I stay in Moscow for nightlife?

Tverskoy is where you want to be to party! It’s full of lively bars and clubs, as well as cool hostels full of other adventurers to meet.

What are some good airbnbs in Moscow?

There are lots of cool airbnbs to stay in Moscow, but two of our favourites are this modern loft and this cosy apartment .

Pants, socks, underwear, soap?! Take it from me, packing for a hostel stay is not always quite as straightforward as it seems. Working out what to bring and what to leave at home is an art I have perfected over many years.

Snoring dorm-mates can ruin your nights rest and seriously damage the hostel experience. This is why I always travel with a pack of decent ear plugs.

Hanging Laundry Bag

Trust us, this is an absolute game changer. Super compact, a hanging mesh laundry bag stops your dirty clothes from stinking, you don’t know how much you need one of these… so just get it, thank us later.

Sea To Summit Micro Towel

Hostel towels are scummy and take forever to dry. Microfibre towels dry quickly, are compact, lightweight, and can be used as a blanket or yoga mat if need be.

Monopoly Deal

Forget about Poker! Monopoly Deal is the single best travel card game that we have ever played. Works with 2-5 players and guarantees happy days.

Grayl Geopress Water Bottle

Always travel with a water bottle! They save you money and reduce your plastic footprint on our planet. The Grayl Geopress acts as a purifier AND temperature regulator. Boom!

With the Solstice behind us, we’re hurtling head-long into summer. More heat waves are on tap, so right now we’re looking to share some vacation deals that will keep you cool and help you save a few bucks at the same time. Luckily, we’ve found some that come with island breezes and delectable sips of cherry wine, cider and even cherry slush.

Here are this week’s Lovable Michigan Travel Deal highlights:

Black Star Farms: With tasting rooms on both the Leelanau and Old Mission Peninsulas, you’ve got two ways to get these sweet Black Star Farms deals, which are a flavorful nod to Traverse City’s National Cherry Festival.

From Saturday, June 29 to Saturday, July 6, you can visit either Black Star Farms tasting room to get:

• 50% off glasses of cherry wine
• 50% off glasses of cherry apple cider
• 50% off cherry lemonade slushies (non-alcoholic also available)
• Discounted tastings of Spirit of Cherry and Cerasus, a barrel-aged cherry brandy
• 20% off bottles of cherry wine, cherry apple cider and Sirius Cherry dessert wine

“What better way to celebrate the National Cherry Festival than sipping on a cherry libation while enjoying the summer weather on one of our outdoor patios?” Black Star Farms staff said. “Cheers to cherries!”

Samples of wine are poured at Black Star Farms on Old Mission Peninsula in Grand Traverse County on Wednesday, June 15, 2022. Black Star Farms is one of ten wineries that make up the Old Mission Peninsula Wine Trail. (Joel Bissell | MLive.com) MLive.com

• October: 1-2, 6-7, 9, 13-14

Drummond Island's ORV and ATV trails are among the most scenic and rugged in the entire state.

Drummond Island: We love this spot because it’s a remote island, it’s in the Upper Peninsula and it just takes a super quick car ferry ride to get there from the mainland. Once you arrive, there’s plenty of golf, ORV riding and some wild and forested Great Lakes shoreline. Right now, Drummond Island Resort is offering a Summer Adventure Deal.

“ Save 15% off standard room rates and take advantage of a variety of complimentary activities including indoor putt-putt, tennis, volleyball, bike rentals, canoeing, kayaking, and more.” This offer is valid on select dates. You can find more details and booking information on the resort’s website here.

Rooks Reflects: Choose hostels when planning travel accommodation

Over the past four months, I’ve been fortunate enough to spend weekends in the Czech Republic, Austria, Poland and Italy, in addition to traveling around parts of Germany, where I am currently studying abroad. During my travels, I’ve been hosted in a variety of different establishments, including hotels, Airbnbs, friends’ houses and my favorite option: hostels. 

According to Hostelworld , a hostel is “a budget-friendly type of accommodation that focuses on a shared social experience.” I’ve stayed in rooms with eleven strangers and booked rooms that leave every bed empty if not filled by a member of your party. No matter the situation, I’ve found hostels to be the best option for the young and broke traveling crowd. 

Nothing beats the social environment of a good hostel. I’ve stayed in hostels while solo traveling, which Forbes reports to be the case for 72% of American hostel users, and I have also stayed in hostels while traveling in a group. In both cases, I’ve made friends through the social atmosphere of these establishments. Most hostels will include a bar in their amenities, which becomes a lively vortex of new friendships and international relations once the sun goes down. 

Whether you meet people to share just one night of adventure with (as was the case when my friends and I took a weekend trip to Prague) or you meet someone who will visit you in your home city and become a lifelong travel partner (as was the case when I was solo traveling in Vienna), the relationships formed in hostels are powerful and unique. 

There is also an undeniable financial benefit to staying in hostels. While traveling in Vienna, I spent one night in a hostel and one night in a hotel, the latter of which cost three times as much as the former. In exchange for the clear savings, patrons simply have to sacrifice spending a night sleeping in privacy; although, most hostels offer private rooms for just a slight price increase. For young travelers looking to keep their trips cheap, the choice is almost too easy. 

The hostels I’ve stayed in have all done a remarkable job of immersing guests in the city. If a hostel is located far from the center of the city, they often will help guests figure out the local transportation system and give recommendations of things to do in the area. The reception desk will also be equipped with maps and guides, as well as employees with impressive knowledge of the city. 

As with any accommodation, not every hostel is a winner. The quality of the hostel can make or break a trip, so it’s important to read reviews and do your research. As long as all those boxes are checked, hostels are often the reason young people are able to travel longer, cheaper and better, which is supported by the findings of The Global Hostel Marketplace Report 2014-2018. I’ve come to the conclusion that in the future when I will theoretically travel on a bigger budget, I would still opt to stay in a hostel, purely for the remarkable energy and experiences they offer.

Israel-Gaza live updates: Military pier to be taken offline again, official says

This is a precautionary move to protect the pier from breaking in rough waves.

As the Israel-Hamas war continues, negotiations have stalled to secure the release of hostages taken by the terrorist organization, and Israeli forces continue to launch incursions in the southern Gazan town of Rafah ahead of a possible large-scale invasion.

Latest headlines:

Military pier in gaza to be taken offline again: us official, pentagon, usaid to review aid delivery via jlots pier, state department reissues travel alert for lebanon.

The U.S. military pier in Gaza will be taken offline again on Friday and moved to the Israeli port of Ashdod due to high seas, according to a U.S. official.

This is a precautionary move to protect the pier from breaking due to rough waves, the official said.

This is the third time the pier has had to be moved to Ashdod because of weather. The pier has been operational only about half of the time since it opened in mid-May.

“I don't have a date of when the pier would be reinstalled,” Defense Department deputy spokesperson Sabrina Singh told reporters Friday, noting that Centcom will assess the sea conditions over the weekend.

As the pier was moved away Friday, two U.S. officials told ABC News that officials are considering not re-installing the pier until the humanitarian aid that it brought to Gaza gets distributed. More than 19 million pounds of aid has been delivered to Gaza via the pier but it’s now piling up at the staging point at the edge of the pier, Singh said.

Inspectors General at the Pentagon and the U.S. Agency for International Development announced Thursday that they’re launching reviews of the mission to deliver humanitarian aid into Gaza via the military's temporary pier system.

Israel, US discussing transfer of Patriot air defense batteries to Ukraine

Israel and the U.S. are discussing the transfer of Patriot air defense batteries to Ukraine, a source familiar with the matter told ABC News.

This agreement -- not yet finalized, according to the source -- would mark a shift in Israel’s public policy following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

A key factor behind Israel’s willingness to discuss the transfer of Patriot air defense batteries is the tightening military alliance between Russia and Iran.

In April, Israel announced the decommissioning of U.S.-donated Patriot systems from its aerial defense array. Security sources previously said Patriot has been successfully replaced by the Israeli-made David's Sling air and missile defense system.

-ABC News’ Dana Savir

The Inspectors General at the Pentagon and the United States Agency for International Development announced Thursday that they will carry out separate reviews of the delivery of humanitarian aid into Gaza via the JLOTS temporary pier system.

The pier has been operational 21 out of the 42 days since it was first anchored to the beach in Gaza, according to statistics the United States Central Command provided to ABC News. The pier has been attached three separate times because of bad weather.

-ABC News’ Luis Martinez

As tension continues to simmer along the Israel-Lebanon border, the State Department is reminding U.S. citizens about the risks associated with traveling to Lebanon, urging them to "strongly reconsider."

"The Lebanese government cannot guarantee the protection of U.S. citizens against sudden outbreaks of violence and armed conflict," the alert said.

The State Department also notes that while most of Lebanon is classified as a level 3 (reconsider travel) the southern portion of the country, the Lebanon-Syria border area, and refugee settlements are at a level 4 (do not travel).

Officials say this reminder is not a predictor of escalation to come and that the situation in Lebanon is under continuous review.
