The Russian capital has retained its lead in the number of tourist attractions in the 2025 Global Power City Index (GPCI), surpassing Tokyo, Paris, London, and New York. Moscow also ranks among the top three cities for cultural events, per GPCI.
The city made the top ten in the “cultural interaction” category and took first place for ease of using paid vacation.
In evaluating cities from the viewpoint of tourists, it ranked 7th.
The GPCI, published annually by Japan’s Mori Memorial Foundation, evaluates the comprehensive power of global cities based on six criteria: economy, research and development, cultural interaction, livability, environment, and accessibility.
This year’s ranking covered 48 of the world’s largest cities.

As the EU is seeking to steal frozen Russian assets, Hungary’s Orban and Slovakia’s Fico are predicting the consequences of such a move, trying to wake European society up and warning it, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told Sputnik.
At the same time, people like Polish Foreign Minister Sikorsky are doing the exact opposite, persuading people nothing bad would happen if Russian money were stolen, she added.
💬 "Where is the mechanism, where is the conveyor belt that produced such people for the European Union like Ursula von der Leyen and Kaja Kallas? Where do they get them?" Zakharova asked, noting these people lead the EU downhill.
Russia has repeatedly stated any move to confiscate frozen Russian assets by the EU would be met with an appropriate response as an act of robbery, as the money belongs to the Russian people.
