One of the main Internet addresses that you should know by heart is the mos.ru portal.
It is there - in the "Poster" section - that announcements of many capital events (street festivals, holidays, celebrations, etc.) are published. Select the time period you are interested in, check the box “Free only” and click “search”. There are plenty of opportunities to have fun for free. There is no need to buy tickets, only registration is required (because the premises are not rubber and cannot physically accommodate everyone). Quite a lot of events have been collected on my.timepad.ru. These include trial foreign language lessons, meetings of professionals, and cultural events of various types.
Another “safe address” is kultura.mos.ru. Every week, the capital's Department of Culture publishes announcements of events for the coming weekend (and among them there are many where admission is free).

Parks
There are many places where you can relax for free and admire the beauty of nature. What to do on the weekend without money? Take a walk in Gorky Park or Sokolniki. Free performances and festivals are often held there.
The nature itself and the beautiful view around lift your spirits and charge you with only positive emotions for the whole day. Various master classes on drawing, bead weaving, etc. are often held there. You can also sometimes see dancing in the parks. Anyone can take part in the action.
Relaxing and killing time are two different things
Sometimes it can be annoying when after a weekend or vacation there is a feeling of emptiness and it’s difficult to remember what we did (nothing or what?).
Rest, be it a couple of hours after work, a weekend or a vacation, is a return to a resourceful state. After a good rest, a person feels cheerful, positive emotions and is ready to work and go towards his goals. And this does not depend on the amount of money spent on it.
Sometimes, to successfully choose a method of relaxation, willpower and knowledge are required. The ability to relax is worth a lot. And vacationing without money is even more expensive. People relax in different ways. Both active and passive recreation can be the right solution.
Be reasonable. If you haven’t gotten enough sleep, haven’t put yourself in order in terms of hygiene and appearance, don’t necessarily strive to relax beautifully and intellectually. Recover.
A sure sign of quality rest is the feeling that what is happening makes sense.
Red Square and Mausoleum
Tourists, as a rule, flock to the city center, and in particular to Red Square. There you can simply take a walk and explore the sights located around, including the Moscow Kremlin.
A huge number of people gather here. This is the most popular tourist spot. The walk may take several hours. All this is free and beautiful; the architecture makes a particularly strong impression on those who visit Moscow for the first time. If you're lucky, you can get into the mausoleum and see the embalmed body of V.I. Lenin. Admission is not free, but tickets are quite cheap.
Where can you go with a girl?
Guys very often have the same question - where to take a girl on a date? This question is especially often asked by young guys who have absolutely no experience of such romantic encounters, or those who intend to make a lasting impression on their beloved from a date.
The question is quite broad and, in principle, depends on the situation in which the guy is placed. For example, it could be a first date or a walk in the winter; it could be Moscow, or maybe Oryol. As you can see for yourself, advice in such situations will be completely different. Therefore, we have divided our further article into the five most popular questions and will give specific and short answers to them.
What are the options?
Here it would be good to know the girl before giving advice. For example, it is better to surprise an easy-going girl with something original or unexpected: a ride on ATVs, boats, or going to a fun foam party. If you don’t really know the girl yet, don’t know what to expect from her, what she prefers and what she likes, then it’s better to go to banal cafes or restaurants on the first date. It is advisable to choose the most romantic place where you can feel cozy and comfortable (the authors of the magazine LuckyFamilyMan.ru are sure that you can find a similar establishment in any city).
If you don’t have money for such a vacation, then offer to take a walk in the park, along a beautiful alley or quiet streets. However, in any case, you should prepare a small gift (a token of attention), a flower, delicious chocolate or an armful of balloons, if your age allows such madness.
What to do in winter?
Are you waiting for amazing and brilliant tips?! No, everything is simple here - on winter evenings, when no clothes can save you from the cold, it is better to go to some warm room. Let it be a cinema, cafe, bowling alley or restaurant.
Problems with finances? Then have an evening at home, don’t think that it’s too boring or not interesting. It is unlikely that a girl will refuse a warm meeting with your family. If it’s really bad in your apartment, then rent a place for a day. For a small amount you will get a comfortable apartment that you will own for the whole day. No one will bother you, no one will break into your room, and no one will be ashamed of the situation, since this is not your apartment.
Where to go in the evening?
Evening is a time of romance and intimacy, so it is an ideal time to meet a girl. There is a wide choice of where to go, so it is best to first clarify with the girl her preference - a noisy company in a club, a quiet walk through the city at night, or cozy gatherings over a cup of tea. And start from this: noise is bowling, discos, karaoke, billiards, ice skating, etc. A walk means being a guide, showing the girl the most beautiful streets of your city. The girl chose tea, so you can invite her to your place or take her to an interesting cafe.
What to do if there is no money?
Oddly enough, guys very often don’t have money, but that’s not scary. If you want, get out! You can make a bouquet of flowers with your own hands by picking them in flower beds or at the dacha. Instead of going to cafes, you can take walks around the city. However, it is important to choose those places where there will be benches so that you can relax.
If you don’t have money, you can invite someone to visit you, because at home you can always find something to treat such a guest?! If you see that the situation is getting out of your control, come up with a reason to end the meeting for an important reason - an SMS has arrived from your boss, parents or friend, so you urgently need to end such a wonderful walk. Next time you will know that you don’t need to go on a date with this girl without money!
Although again you need to take age into account. For example, it is excusable for a schoolchild not to have money, but not for an adult! In the second case, the girl will think of you like this: either a miser or a poor man who can’t even buy a flower.
Where to go for a walk?
Here you need to take into account the city and terrain. In some cities, beauty is in the center, in some cities there are beautiful old alleys, in others there are beautiful squares and parks, and sometimes the pride lies outside the city - a river, mountains, hills, etc. Study your city, then such questions will not arise!
Cinema or theater
If due to some current situation you are left alone, then what should you do? What to do on the weekend in Moscow if you are alone? A simple option is to go to a movie or theater premiere. This is a fairly economical way to pass the time. There no one will bother you with their communication. In such places you can relax alone with yourself and watch a movie or a play. If you are inclined to communicate and are bored, then you can meet the same lonely movie lover there and chat with him about interesting topics.
What to do on a weekend in Moscow alone? For a girl, a club or cafe is not the most suitable option. Because others may react to you incorrectly, and you will feel uncomfortable. In addition, the option is considered quite expensive entertainment.
If your financial situation does not allow you to plunge into the bustling nightlife of the capital with expensive clubs, then you can simply take a walk around Moscow.
All to the museum!
There is only one thing you should know about museums, exhibition halls and galleries. You can enter institutions that belong to the capital's Department of Culture for free every third Sunday of the month. A list of 40 addresses is here: kultura.mos.ru.
And finally: you can even go to theaters and concert halls in Moscow for free. If suddenly there are unsold tickets, ask the ticket takers or administrators to let you in “just like that.” By the way, on the website of the Moscow Philharmonic there is a broadcast (there is also an archive of recordings) of events from its concert halls. And you can “get” to the coolest event without leaving your home (www.meloman.ru).

What to do on the weekend? You can read books. This activity is absolutely free and develops memory. You can also find out a lot of useful information for yourself.
