Hello, I’m planning on travelling from New Zealand to Moscow for tourism and because of the sanctions and not being able to use visa and Mastercard apart from carry cash what do you recommend, what would be the best option? Thanks

@Jack88 bring $USD and use [cash.rbc.ru](http://cash.rbc.ru) for best location exchange rates. ( Some banks are almost worse than the airport)
