Best Travel Kettle - Researched, Tested, and Reviewed

Updated: Feb 9

I've got some great news for those looking for a mini electric kettle for travellers - I've done plenty of research and testing so you don't have to! Read this post to find out what kettles I bought and tested and what I think the best travel kettle is - plus the important things to consider when buying a travel kettle.

If you don't care for a long and uber-detailed post about the pros and cons of travel kettles and just want to me to get to the point, here it is! My recommended travel kettle for you is the Lakeland travel kettle, which I've now been using for a fair bit of time and it hasn't let me down. It's been on several trips and I've even used it at home when a larger kettle wasn't available. Its stainless steel body is both durable and BPA-free. Check out the Lakeland kettle here:

If you want to get into the nitty gritty details of why it's so good, then keep reading!

I love drinking tea and strongly believe that having a small electric kettle and cups in a hotel room is a basic necessity. Unfortunately, many hotels don't share my view and quite often even those that claim to have tea and coffee making facilities put in a Nespresso-like machine, so if you're lucky enough to get any tea pods at all, I wouldn't actually call the final result tea - it goes more in the direction of something odd with an aftertaste of coffee - yuck! So when I found out that I was going to be spending three weeks in a hotel with no kettle, the dreaded prospect of having to leave the room in the morning without consuming that all-important cuppa first thing took finding the best travel kettle straight to the top of my priority list.

At first I though this would be super easy and went to Boots - all I found there was one rather large and ugly-looking kettle, which I did not want. Online shopping it was then...

So, my fellow tea aficionados, let's start with the key things you need to consider when looking for a kettle for your travels. Reading the below will make it easier to make sense of the stats in the comparison table and understand my choices. If you don't care about any of that and just want me to tell you what travel kettle to buy, scroll down to the next section.

Size/Capacity:

One of the key things that turns a normal electric kettle into a travel kettle is portability - so I suggest you focus your attention on kettles with capacity of 500ml or a bit less, especially if you travel as a couple or alone. 500ml capacity is enough for two people to get a normal-sized cup of tea each, so anything bigger is just wasting precious suitcase space that could be used for something else. If you are absolutely determined to go for a bigger capacity, you might want to consider a collapsible kettle .

Though kettle wattage (a number followed by a 'w', e.g. 600w, 1000w etc.) may seem like a meaningless number at first, there is actually a direct link between this number and the speed with which you can get your cup of tea! Wattage reflects the power of the kettle, so the bigger this number is, the faster the kettle will boil. I tested travel kettles of different wattage and can confirm it does make a difference to boiling time - check my handy key stats table further down in the post for wattage and boil times.

Dual voltage:

If you want your kettle to function worldwide, it will need to have a feature called 'dual voltage', allowing it to work both in countries with 200-240 volts (e.g. European countries) and 100-127 volts (e.g. North American countries). To check voltage for a specific country, you can refer to this helpful Wiki article .

I've thought long and hard about whether to put this in or not. Don't want to be seen as scaremongering, but I personally find this kind of information very important, so here we go. You may or may not have heard of BPA or Bisphenol-A, a chemical contained in plastic. It has generated a lot of controversy around potential negative effects to health and is a candidate for the 'substance of very high concern' list in the European Union due to its endocrine-disrupting properties and being toxic for reproduction. On the other hand, USA Food & Drug administration claims BPA in food plastics is safe at current levels. It's up to you to make the decision on whether you are ok with a plastic kettle or want to choose a material that doesn't contain BPA, like stainless steel.

Though they are called 'travel kettles', just like any other electrical device, they come with a non-interchangeable country-standard plug (e.g. the 3-pin plug in the UK), so if you are buying your kettle in the UK and planning to use it to travel to continental Europe or the US, you will also need to have a travel adaptor to be able to use your kettle. This is a very important piece of advice that I managed to forget myself - arrived at the hotel and wanted to make a cup of tea to discover that I have forgotten the adaptor - oops! The hotel didn't have any I could borrow, but luckily Amazon delivered to Portugal (I did have to wait several days even with the Prime option, so double important to buy your travel adaptor in advance, especially if your trip is a short one).

Now that you are aware of what to look out for, let's move on to the main bit of this post - my search for the best travel kettle.

Having looked at quite a lot of different travel kettles on Amazon, I discarded the following;

'noname' brands - they may be cheap, but I wanted something I could trust

kettles with conflicting information (e.g. different data on key stats between description and Q&A sections)

kettles with poor ratings or potentially worrying things mentioned in the reviews

This narrowed my options down to two: a Lakeland travel kettle (stainless steel) and a Kenwood travel kettle (plastic) - both brands I have heard of before and with good reviews.

I bought them both and spent a couple of weeks measuring, testing and comparing to pick the best travel kettle. Though a few weeks isn't a true test of durability, so far both kettles are still operational (which, by the way, is already better than the suspiciously cheap 'noname' sunrise alarm clock I tried, which lasted exactly a week...)

Both kettles come with accessories that can be stacked inside the kettle for transportation, have a covered element and dual voltage. Both also switch off automatically when boiled - an important feature in a travel kettle!

So both will do the job of making you tea, but I do have a winner of my newly established best travel kettle title to share with you. Though Kenwood has scored a few points in its favour, Lakeland is the one I will be taking on my trip.

Update: It's now been a good few months since I wrote this post and I am happy to say that my Lakeland travel kettle has been a reliable hot water provider on several trips already. Everything is still functional, I've made good use of all the accessories and the carry bag is very handy. Still my recommended choice!

For an easy comparison of the two travel kettles across the key characteristics, check out the table below:

Find comparison tables a bit dry and want to know more about my experience with each kettle plus see some photos? Keep reading because I have plenty of information left to share with you.

Both travel kettles with accessories side by side (excluding the carry bag for the Lakeland kettle):

Lakeland travel kettle - my recommended best travel kettle

Lakeland is a British kitchenware brand, which was one of the reasons for choosing this kettle - I would rather support a local business than a no-name Chinese manufacturer. The body of the kettle is made from stainless steel, which was my preferred material, not just because of BPA, but also since it feels more durable, so if your suitcase gets knocked around by the baggage handlers at the airport, a stainless steel travel kettle is less likely to get damaged (whereas plastic could crack).

I was a bit concerned that stainless steel would be heavier than plastic (hence getting a plastic kettle too for comparison), but the kettle itself weighs only 20g more than its plastic equivalent from Kenwood, so the difference is negligible. Yes, when all the accessories are stacked inside, it becomes 80g heavier than the Kenwood one, but that's because it's got an extra container for coffee/tea and sugar, which is actually a useful little accessory, so a positive rather than a drawback. Plus with 1000w, its fast boiling time sealed the deal for me, so we have a winner! It might be a bit on the pricier side, but it's worth the money spent.

Some photos of the Lakeland travel kettle - click on the images to enlarge:

Made of stainless steel and yet only 20g heavier than the plastic kettle (without accessories).

For people conscious of BPA, the only plastic part that comes in contact with the steam/water is the lid - apart from that, it's all steel on the inside.

Has more accessories than most on the market - carry bag and sugar/tea container included as well as 2 cups and spoons. Carry bag fits well and will definitely be used - don't want to open my suitcase on arrival and find the kettle full of fluff from clothes!

Quick to boil - when filled to capacity at 500ml, it takes 3.5 minutes to boil

I did find a few cons with the Lakeland travel kettle, but they are very minor:

No water window, so have to look inside the kettle to see how full it is.

The 500ml marker inside is set a bit too high - the actual 500ml is a few millimetres below, so make sure you don't fill it right to the marker to avoid the kettle spitting some water out when boiling.

Though the kettle is made of steel, the cups are plastic and there is nothing to say they are BPA-free, so I am considering whether to get a separate BPA-free cup .

Kenwood travel kettle

My experience with Kenwood so far is that it's a reliable brand - have had their food processor in our kitchen for years and so far no issues (*touch wood!*). This trust factor is one of the main reasons I've chose the Kenwood travel kettle over numerous other small plastic kettles available.

It's a nice-looking little kettle, a tiny bit taller than the Lakeland, but not by a lot. A handy feature of the Kenwood travel kettle is a removable spout filter mesh to stop limescale pouring into your cup, which the Lakeland kettle doesn't have. Plus it's easy to see how full the kettle is through the water windows.

However, I was disappointed that the manufacturer managed to err by as much as 50ml when putting the marker in for the max level, and it did take a while to bring the water to the boil. Neither of those issues stop the kettle from functioning, so if they don't bother you, it's a viable alternative to the Lakeland one.

Some photos of Kenwood travel kettle - click on the images to enlarge:

Dual water windows make it easy to see how much water is in the kettle without opening the lid

A spout filter mesh is included to protect against limescale

Misleading information on capacity - max marker is set at 450ml in spite of manufacturer claiming that the capacity is at 500ml.

Slow to boil - almost 5 minutes for 450ml

Made of plastic, so not BPA-free

There are two voltage choices available (100-120V and 200-240V) for global use and a 680W supply allows for a quick boil for when you just can’t wait for a cuppa.

With numerous options available, it’s clear from the reviews above that there’s a wide range of travel kettles to choose from for your upcoming vacation. However, before making a purchase, it’s essential to consider whether they will meet your specific needs and requirements.

• Material: When choosing a portable hot pot, the material is key. Stainless steel is often the preferred choice due to its durability and absence of any plastic taste. However, there are also options made from plastic or glass available for those seeking more budget-friendly alternatives
• Capacity: When traveling solo or with friends, having a larger kettle is ideal for convenience. However, compact and easy-to-store kettles are also popular options. Some of the smallest kettles have a capacity of 348ml, while others like the Loutytuo 2-in-1 Portable Travel Electric Kettle offer a compact and portable design with a capacity of 300ml.

On the other hand, single-voltage kettles are best suited for trips within the US or occasional road trips. When selecting an electric kettle, opt for one with low power consumption for added convenience and accessibility.
• Storage: A travel kettle should be compact and include features such as removable bases and handles to enhance portability and storage convenience.
• Heating Speed – For travelers who need to quickly heat water, the kettle’s heating rate is a crucial factor. For people who are constantly on the go, a faster heating speed is ideal.

(Updated February 2024)

Ever since living in Australia, I’ve been a lot more keen on tea. As a part of the commonwealth, Aussies sure are tea lovers. Ever since, I’ve had to find ways to boil hot water in a pinch, wherever I go. I’ve used tons of different types of travel tea kettles in lots of different settings, from hostels to campsites to everything in between.

Here my list of the absolute best travel kettle options for the solo travelers. May you find an easy way to enjoy a cuppa wherever you are in the world with one of these portable kettles.

Finding the best travel kettle really comes down to your own travel style and what you pack. I’ll share with you all of my favorite travel kettle options based on my experiences.

1. Best Overall Travel Kettle: Sekaer Portable Electric Tea Kettle Travel Small Mini Coffee Kettle

I love how it is so portable; you can tuck the cord into the canister while traveling. Fast boiling and energy-efficient, it’s ideal for quick morning routines or a busy lifestyle. Compact and portable, it fits easily in small spaces and is safe to use with auto shut-off and boil-dry protection. It’s also really damn cute with its little handle on top.

The only drawback is that you need 120V and at least 300W worth of power, so it could be tricky while camping or traveling abroad. For US travel in places with easy power access, this is a perfect little travel kettle.

2. Best Small Travel Kettle: Travel Kettle Electric Small Stainless Steel

I just really love this design and it seems like all of the reviewers do too. This portable electric kettle is made from stainless steel, ensuring durability and a clean taste. It features a 350ml capacity, which is ideal for personal use. The kettle operates at a power of 500 watts, which means that it can heat quickly. Its compact and sleek size makes it easy to pack and carry, fitting comfortably in luggage or backpacks. It also fits right into cup holders, which I love. The kettle also includes safety features like auto shut-off and boil-dry protection, making it a reliable and safe choice for travel.

3. Best For Camping: X Pot/Kettle

This collapsible kettle is for my campers and backpackers out there! You will need a heat source to boil the water, but that’s the beauty of it… you don’t need an outlet.

This kettle’s standout feature is its collapsible design, which, combined with a minimal weight of just 7.2 ounces, makes it hardly noticeable in your pack. It has a whopping 1.5L capacity, enough to cater to a group, and is made from heat-resistant silicone. The wide, stable base prevents spills at campsites, and reinforced handles make for easy carrying and use. The translucent lid aids in trapping heat for faster boiling, making it an efficient tool for quickly preparing hot drinks or meals.

4. Best Compact Electric Kettle: Foldable Portable Electric Kettle with Food Grade Silicone

I like this kettle because it combines the space-saving collapsible silicone while also being an easy plug-and-go style kettle. The kettle has a dual voltage capability (110V/220V), making it suitable for international travel. I really like that it has a detachable power cord and a separable design for easy cleaning and storage. This is the best travel tea kettle option if you want something that doesn’t take up much space but functions like a traditional kettle.

5. Best For Tea Enthusiasts: Sekaer Travel Electric Tea Kettle

If you’re super into tea-on-the-go, then this is a pretty nifty little kettle with an infuser basket built right in. It features a 350ml capacity, making it ideal for personal servings. It might be too small for serving others, but is great for people like me who don’t want to have a whole production just to make a cuppa tea. You just put your loose leaf tea in and then add water and plug it in when you’re ready to.

The kettle is crafted from food-grade 304 stainless steel and BPA-free materials, ensuring safety and durability. It operates at a power of 300 watts, allowing for rapid heating of water.

The kettle’s compact and lightweight design makes it perfect for travel, office, hotel rooms or home use. As for convenience, I like that it includes a detachable power cord and a 360-degree swivel base.

6. Best For Limited Space: Norpro Instant Immersion Heater

I’m lowkey obsessed with this little immersion heater. If you are tight on space (either on a road trip or backpacking around), then this is the most compact “kettle” you’ll find.

It works by being immersed directly into a cup or container of water or other liquids, quickly heating them to the desired temperature. The product is designed for ease of use, featuring a simple plug-in operation and a compact design that makes it easy to carry in a bag or suitcase. It’s an efficient solution for enjoying hot drinks or even soups on the go, in a hotel room, in nature, at the office, or at home.

7. Best Traditional Travel Kettle: IronRen 0.5L Portable Electric Kettle

If you’re into the traditional experience of boiling liquids, then this stainless steel travel hot water kettle is perfect. It’s small and portable, yet shaped like an actual (modern) kettle. It features a stainless steel construction, making it super durable and easy to clean. The kettle has a surprising capacity of 0.5 liters, perfect for personal use or for small servings.

While I don’t love that it’s not collapsible and takes up quite a bit of space, it can also double as storage in your bags or suitcases. Think: tea bags, soup packets, and even small clothing items like socks.

My favorite part is that it boasts rapid boiling technology, allowing you to quickly heat water for coffee, tea, or instant meals. It also includes an automatic shut-off and boil-dry protection, making it a safe travel kettle that won’t accidentally burn the place down.

8. Kompoll Travel Electric Kettle

This travel kettle has the best features of pretty much everything on this list (except the collapsible silicone).

This fast boiling travel kettle means that you can quickly prepare hot beverages like tea, coffee, or even instant noodles and soup quickly and easily. The stainless steel construction of this mini electric kettle not only adds to its durability but also maintains the purity of water’s taste. Safety features like automatic shut-off and boil-dry protection give that peace of mind, especially when you’re in a hurry or multitasking.

Its separable power cord and compact size make it easy to pack and carry, fitting snugly in any travel bag. This mini travel kettle is ideal for those who want the comforts of a hot drink while traveling, without the bulk and hassle of larger appliances.

9. Travel Foldable Electric Kettle

Another collapsible travel tea kettle makes the list with tons of raving reviews. While I’m not personally a silicone fan (I feel like it impacts the taste), this collapsible tea kettle is one of the most popular ones on the market right now. This kind of reliability and space-saving design is worth mentioning as it makes its way to my list of recommended kettles.

The kettle is made from food-grade silicone, ensuring safety and durability. It has a dual voltage capability (100-120V and 220-240V), making it suitable for international travel. With a capacity of 600ml, it can quickly boil water for coffee, tea, or instant meals. The kettle also includes safety features like boil-dry protection and an automatic shut-off mechanism, ensuring safe usage.

How To Choose The Best Portable Kettle For Travel 

When you’re on the move, having the right portable kettle can make all the difference in enjoying your favorite hot beverage or quick meal. Here’s what to consider to find the perfect travel companion:

• Size and Capacity: Choose a kettle that’s compact enough for easy packing, yet has sufficient capacity for your needs. A 0.5 to 1-liter kettle usually strikes a good balance.
• Weight : Opt for lightweight designs, especially if you’re backpacking or have limited space.
• Material : Stainless steel kettles are durable and maintain heat well, but may be heavier. Silicone or plastic kettles are lighter and often collapsible, ideal for saving space.
• Boiling Speed: Look for a kettle that boils water quickly to save time, particularly important when you’re on a tight schedule.
• Temperature Control: If you’re particular about your tea or coffee, consider a kettle with variable temperature settings.
• Safety Features: Essential features include automatic shut-off and boil-dry protection to prevent accidents.
• Power Source: Electric kettles are convenient but require a power source. For off-grid adventures, consider a kettle that can be used on a stove or campfire.
• Dual Voltage: If traveling internationally, a dual voltage kettle is a must to accommodate different electrical systems.
• Ease of Cleaning: A kettle with a wide opening is easier to clean, a crucial factor for maintaining hygiene while traveling.

Types Of Travel Kettles

Travel kettles come in various types to suit different travel needs and preferences. Understanding these types can help you choose the right one for your adventures:

Electric Travel Kettles

Electric travel kettles are ideal for travelers staying in hotels or locations with guaranteed electricity. They are a great choice for those who prioritize convenience and specific beverage temperatures, but not as suitable for off-grid adventures or lightweight packing.

• Many electric travel kettles offer automatic shut-off and temperature control, enhancing safety and convenience .
• Temperature control allows for heating water to the precise temperature needed, perfect for different types of teas and coffees.
• These kettles require access to a power source , limiting their use in areas without reliable electricity.
• They tend to be bulkier and less convenient for lightweight or compact travel.

Collapsible Kettles

A collapsible kettle is ideal for travelers who need to save space and reduce weight in their luggage, such as backpackers or those traveling with carry-on only. They are less suited for travelers who prefer more durable, feature-rich kettles.

• Made from flexible materials like silicone, these kettles can collapse down, making them highly space-efficient . This feature is particularly beneficial for backpackers or travelers with limited luggage space.
• Generally, collapsible kettles are lighter than other types, adding minimal weight to your travel gear.
• The flexible materials might not be as durable as the hard materials used in traditional kettles.
• They often impact the taste of your beverage.

Dual Voltage Kettles

Dual voltage kettles are ideal for frequent international travelers who move between countries with different electrical systems. They are less necessary for travelers staying within regions that have a standard voltage system.

• These kettles are designed with the international traveler in mind. They can switch between different voltage standards (typically 110v and 220v), making them suitable for use in various countries without the need for a separate voltage converter.
• This feature provides peace of mind and convenience , as you can use the same kettle in multiple destinations.
• The versatility of dual voltage kettles often comes at a higher price point compared to standard kettles.
• Some models may require manual switching between voltages, which can be a bit more complex to handle for some users.

Stovetop Kettles

These kettles are ideal for camping, hiking, or off-grid travel where electricity is not an option. They are less convenient for travelers who prefer quick, efficient boiling and have access to electricity.

• Stovetop kettles are perfect for environments without electrical access . They can be used on a camp stove or open flame, making them highly versatile in various outdoor settings.
• Often made from durable materials , these kettles are designed to withstand the rigors of outdoor use.
• They may take longer to boil water compared to electric kettles, especially in windy or cold outdoor conditions.
• Stovetop kettles can be bulkier and heavier, which might be a consideration for those needing to pack light.

Car Kettles

Car kettles are ideal for road trippers and campers who spend a lot of time in or near their vehicles. They are less practical for travelers without access to a car or those who need to boil water quickly.

• Car kettles are designed to plug into a car’s cigarette lighter socket , making them a convenient option for brewing hot beverages on the go.
• They offer the flexibility to make hot drinks anytime during road trips or when camping near your vehicle.
• Their usability is confined to the car, as they rely on the vehicle’s power system .
• These kettles typically have lower power output , resulting in slower water boiling times compared to standard electric kettles.

Mini/Compact Kettles

These kettles are ideal for solo travelers or those who prioritize space-saving gear. They are less suited for travelers who need to boil larger quantities of water or prefer more robust, feature-rich kettles.

• Mini or compact kettles are smaller in size and capacity, making them a perfect choice for solo travelers or those with minimal packing space.
• Their small size translates to easy packing and handling , making them highly convenient for on-the-go use.
• The smaller size means a lower water capacity , which might not be suitable for making multiple beverages at once.
• They may not have the same power as larger kettles, potentially leading to longer boiling times .

Stainless Steel Kettles

Stainless steel kettles are a great choice for travelers who value durability and heat retention over portability. They are less ideal for those who are backpacking or need to minimize their travel gear weight.

• Stainless steel kettles are known for their robustness and longevity . They can withstand frequent use and are less prone to damage compared to kettles made from other materials.
• These kettles are excellent at maintaining water temperature , keeping your water hot for longer periods.
• Stainless steel kettles are generally heavier , which might be a consideration for travelers who need to keep their luggage light.
• The material can get quite hot to the touch , requiring careful handling when boiling water.

Final Thoughts

Finding the best travel kettle comes down to how much space you have and your power source. I personally like the immersion heater and travel electric tea kettles . These suit my lifestyle the best and work well with a portable espresso maker . Most hotels have some way to boil hot water, anyway, so I haven’t found a need for a travel kettle when in hotels. If I were to travel often with a suitcase, versus a backpack on on a road trip, then I’d probably opt for a collapsible kettle to save space in my luggage. So what’s the best travel tea kettle for you?? Lemme know in the comments 🙂

Best Electric Kettle for Travel to Buy This Year: Buyer’s Guide

As an avid tea or coffee drinker, an electric travel kettle can save you time, money, and hassle on the road.

A hot beverage can also soothe the stress of booking return flights during your trip abroad. 

However, not all electric travel kettles are the same.

Use these factors to choose the ideal electric travel kettle for your needs. 

Capacity refers to how much water the kettle can hold and boil at once, determining the number of cups of tea or coffee you can make in a single boil.

The ideal capacity will depend on your situation – whether you travel solo or as a group. 

Weight and Size

Weight and size are also essential considerations when buying an electric travel kettle, especially if you have limited space or luggage allowance. You want a kettle that is easy to store and carry. 

Some electric travel kettles have a foldable or collapsible design that reduces their size by up to 50%.

These kettles are ideal for backpackers, hikers, or campers who need to save space and weight in their bags. 

The wattage determines how fast the kettle can boil water. Wattage also affects voltage, which may impact your ability to use the kettle when traveling.

For instance, most European countries use 220V outlets, while we use 110V in the States. 

If you don’t want to use a converter or adapter, choose an electric travel kettle that has a dual voltage switch so you can change the voltage according to the country you are in. 

Additional Features

Some electric travel kettles have extra features that make them more versatile and easier to use.

These include:

• Auto Shut-Off Feature . This feature automatically switches off the kettle when the water reaches a boiling point, or there is no water. 
• Temperature Control Function: It lets you set the desired temperature for your water, depending on the type of drink or food you want to make. 
• Keep Warm Function : This maintains the selected temperature for a certain period, usually between 20 minutes and 2 hours. 
• LED indicator : It shows the status of the kettle, such as whether it is on, off, boiling, or ready. 
• Removable Filter: This traps impurities or scale in the water and can be removed for cleaning.

The Perfect Travel Pals for Your Next Adventure

An electric travel kettle can be a lifesaver for travelers who love hot beverages or instant meals. Use this guide to find the best electric kettle for travel. All these travel kettles are easy to pack and use in a hotel, hostel, campsite, or the car.

What is the best travel kettle?

Best travel kettle..

A travel kettle is an indispensable part of holidays and road trips for many people. The need to be able to independently make a hot drink of tea or coffee is for many people a real freedom.

This applies not only to people who are doing some type of road trip, but people can go on camping holidays, and caravan holidays, as well as for many people who are using motels or quite cheap accommodation for their stay.

Many motels and other places will have a coffee maker, but not necessarily a kettle as well meaning that if the person wants a cup of tea they are not able to make it.

A travel kettle can also be really useful if you are travelling in an area where the water is of dubious quality, and being able to boil it makes it drinkable – this can be a real lifesaver, if not literally, then metaphorically.

The need for a travel kettle can be best served by a bit of planning and research. Many stores, both physical and online, sell travel kettles and so knowing what to look for is important.

Electric travel kettles

Travel kettles are nearly always electric, as opposed to kettles that can be used over a stove, which are normally full sized.

Weight and capacity

How much a kettle weighs and its size can be a major factor, especially if it is to be packed in a suitcase. Most travels tend to be around a third of the size of a normal kettle, and their capacity varies from about half a litre up to one litre.

Speed of boiling

The other really important thing is how fast it can boil. Manufacturers will make certain claims about the wattage and voltage of their kettle, often implying that this makes a difference as to how fast it can boil.

It is worth checking out any of these claims by reading reviews where possible, as this can give you practical feedback actually how fast and easy it is to use.

12v Travel Kettle – Car Travel Kettle

People looking for a 12v travel kettle do so because they want one that can be used in their car, 4×4, RV or motorhome. There are a number of these for sale and the above considerations should apply, both in terms of capacity and usage.

They are normally sold online as well as in-store by companies such as Asda and Argos. Reviews can be found on Amazon as well as car and auto magazines such as Auto Express

Wilkinsons Travel Kettle

Often known as Wilco kettles, they have a very popular travel kettle, with a capacity of 400 ml, a height of 18 cm, a width of 9.5 cm and a depth of 15.5 cm.

Kettles are made from a combination of plastic and metal and generally have good reviews. It is important with some kettles that are made purely from plastic to check the quality of the material as some plastic can give a very odd taste to the water when it is being boiled which affects the quality of the drink there after.

Travel Kettle b&m, Travel Kettle Tesco Travel Kettle Argos Travel Kettle Asda

These are the main stores that specialize in selling travel kettles, and all can be relied upon to offer good value for money. Some of the most popular kettles include :

The best budget kettle needn't mean cheap and nasty. There are functional and well-designed kettles on the market that are lightweight, boil fast and have built-in filters to prevent limescale build-up. There's always a hand-me-down kettle that an eager landlady or relative wants to pass on. The heating element has so much limescale it looks like icing on a Christmas cake. It's all very well to make do, but there are times when we can do much better and upgrade an old appliance. If you've been wondering are cheap kettles any good? The answer is yes - if you know what to look for.

If you're going off to university or moving into a new home, getting a kettle to tide you over is always at the top of the list of essentials, along with a frying pan, mug, plate and some cutlery. We'd be lost without this small kitchen appliance. The key factors to consider are price, size, how quickly it boils and whether it's noisy. Additionally, left-handed people can find using a kettle that has a handle on the right-hand side a bit difficult. It's instinctive to put their hand straight across the steam of the boiling kettle to pick it up - and receive a nasty burn as a result. If that sounds like you, opt for a kettle that has a 360-degree base. Also, this is simply a better functional design as you can dock the kettle back on its base without having to line it up exactly. This is not about the bells and whistles of smart kettles , sometimes all we want is a bit of kit to make instant noodles and no faff.

Whether you're putting the kettle on to make a brew or boiling water for your hard-boiled eggs, bear in mind the kettle's capacity. In a shared kitchen or a busy family household, opt for a kettle with a larger capacity. A 1.7-litre capacity makes six to eight cups. Conversely, some may prefer a smaller kettle that's lighter so it's easier to pick up. Usually, a kettle will make a noise between 71 and 76 decibels; at the budget end of the range quiet kettles are not an option. Similarly, you generally won't see energy-saving kettles as a feature in this offering. But the budget doesn't mean you'll be lighting a fire and waiting for ages for your brew to boil. Although sometimes getting back to basics is lovely. In this case, you may want to consider a stove-top kettle. The spout merrily whistles away as your brew comes to the boil.

Finally, if hard water is a problem in your area, opt for kettles with a concealed heating element. Limescale has a habit of building up around the coiled element, which can be tricky to clean. If that's an issue, it's well worth getting a model that has an anti-limescale filter to prevent residue from getting in your cuppa. Look at the power (wattage) of the kettles, more watts means it will boil faster, giving limescale less opportunity to form. Scroll to our FAQs at the end of this article for more kettle know-how. In the meantime, let's take a look at the best kettles to give you tea-rific-tasting brew on a budget.

Best Budget Kettle

1. breville bold black electric kettle, best overall budget kettle, description.

This Breville Bold Black Electric Kettle is popular and well reviewed. With 3kW power it boils fast. The concealed heating element makes it easy to clean. It has a lift off lid which some prefer when filling a kettle from a tap. Additionally, this electric kettle has a removable and cleanable limescale filter. It looks more expensive than it is with its sleek black and chrome curves. Keeping the vibe minimalist, it also has corded cord storage for when it's not in use. If you find this is the kettle that's taking the biscuit, you'll be delighted to know there's a matching toaster available too.

Customer review: "I cannot fault the kettle: the colour (teal blue) is sensational with clear, wide sight tubes on both sides, large capacity, easy to fill from the spout and crucially, a seriously sturdy handle that is moulded to the side of the body as one piece, with nothing to break and no weird internal fittings to fail like the previous incumbent. This will appeal to all artistically minded people, all design enthusiasts, and anyone who requires their item to do what it is engineered to do: boil water and turn itself off when it's finished."

• Looks expensive
• Rapid boiling
• Concealed heating element

2. Morphy Richards Cornflower Blue Dune Jug Kettle

It has all the essential functions you could want, including rapid boil and a 360-degree base. Because it's made of plastic it's a lot lighter than a metal kettle, making it a good option for people with arthritis in their hands. Additionally, you can buy this as part of a set with a matching toaster. Love love.

Customer review: "I actually bought one with metal lining as these plastic ones get hot. After putting water into it I found it too heavy for these poor old arthritic hands so sent it back then bought this. I do like it, it doesn't get too hot, quite lightweight and is visually pleasing."

It's a good option for elderly people as it's not too heavy to lift at just 790g. Additionally, this is a low wattage kettle, so if you're making a lot of teas and coffees throughout the day it saves a little on the sky-high energy costs.

Customer review: "It’s a good kettle it’s cute and small but I didn’t realise that when I bought it but it’s good for what it is. But for me it takes quite some time to boil the water. Also is good in its noise it doesn’t make much noise when boiling."

• May be too lightweight for some

Featuring a durable stainless steel body and concealed heating element this kettle makes up to seven cups in one boil. This is a well-designed budget kettle that gets the basics right. Space saving cord storage means it's easy to store in a kitchen nook when it's not in use. Part of The Kensington Collection that includes a stylish toaster, pyramid kettle and microwave.

Customer review: "Great purchase. Well made, lightweight and a rapid boiler. Looks good and the built in switch indicator makes it practical and easy to use. The element is totally enclosed in the base preventing calcium build up and therefore remaining efficient for its life. Highly recommended."

• 360-degree swivel base
• Removable lid
• Matching appliances available
• Some reviews have commented that it's a bit noisy

6. Whistling Kettle 2.5 Litre Stainless Steel

Best budget stove-top kettle.

Have a great start to the day with this Whistling Kettle 2.5 Litre Stainless Steel as it issues a cheery whistle when it's boiling. Yes, it takes a little longer to boil on the hob but sometimes the ritual of a simple task can be incredibly therapeutic. The gorgeous aesthetic of this stove-top kettle, with its beautiful cherry red colour, all adds to the good vibes. Additionally, this budget hob kettle is ideal if you're having a weekend away in a shepherd's hut.

Customer review: "Bought this item because my electric kettle was being used several times a day and raising my electric bill. It takes awhile to boil on a gas stove but if left on the hob it stays hot. Savings for me are around £5 a month which is £60 in a year and it's nearly paid for itself already. Folding handle is insulated and for a cheap item it's above average quality. Time to go and make the tea as I can hear the whistle."

• Energy saving
• Large capacity
• An alternative to an electric kettle
• Takes a while to boil

7. John Lewis ANYDAY Kettle, 1.5L, Grey

Best budget kettle for quality.

www.johnlewis.com

Efficient and easy to use, the John Lewis ANYDAY Kettle, 1.5L, Grey is a compact, lightweight yet powerful little kettle. Perhaps best suited to soft water areas, as it doesn't have a limescale filter, nonetheless with 3000kW power it will make a brew in a jiffy. Essential if you're feeling poorly and need a quick Cup A Soup to sustain you. We recommend this model for the elderly or people with mobility issues.

Customer review: "This is an amazing kettle. Look no further, it has replaced a very expensive one and I prefer this one. It is lightweight and very easy to pour. Overall I am extremely pleased with my purchase."

• Well reviewed
• Easy to pick up
• Smaller capacity than others

Our Verdict: Best Budget Kettle

For many of us, the first thing we do when we get home and need to let off steam is to put the kettle on. So it needs to be foolproof, functional and result in a quick cuppa. With outstanding Amazon reviews - 70 per cent five stars - we recommend the Breville Bold Black Electric Kettle .

It features illuminated controls so you can clearly see when it's switched on and it boils fast. Standing firm on a non-slip base along with its matching toaster, the Breville has a glossy textured body that would look ultra contemporary in any modern kitchen.

Why Does Limescale Build Up In A Kettle?

You'd think that boiling water would clean anything but that's not true when it comes to limescale. Hard water has a high concentration of calcium and magnesium which builds up as a chalky residue on the inside of kettles, dishwashers, washing machines and coffee machines. The scaling occurs when hot water evaporates and leaves the insoluble minerals behind.

Is Limescale Dangerous?

No, but it can annoyingly end up floating in your drink and it can taint the taste of water. Importantly, limescale erodes the inside of your kettle over time, shortening its lifespan. Descale your kettle regularly to preserve its longevity or invest in a kettle with filtration technology.

How Do You Descale A Kettle Without Chemicals?

One of the easiest ways to descale a kettle is to use a lemon. Simply fill your kettle half with lemon juice and fill the rest with water. Boil the kettle and let it stand for 30 minutes. The limescale will dislodge. Rinse the kettle thoroughly to remove the lemon juice, water and limescale deposits.

This hotel is really close to a subway station, which makes travel within Moscow very easy. Unfortunately the weather did not allow to take a walk. Within walking distance there is a Belorussky railway station, where you can pick the express to Sheremetyevo. The staff in the hotel is friendly and helpful. Pets are allowed, which in our case, was great benefit. Room is quite comfortable and big. I would like to take a chance and to mention that Agoda indeed gives very good rates. I couldn't find such rates even within Russian sites. even more, as I need to extend check out time till 6 p.m. I have paid almost same amount as I paid to agoda for the full day. Overall, I do recommend the Holiday Inn Lesnaya to travelers in Moscow. Value for Money - it's nearly best, but assuming you got the right rates in internet.

Will place 2nd book for my next trip to Moscow.

We nearly had a complete bad time in Moscow during a 1-day visit to the city due to a robbery event near the Kremlin, but the hotel staff team had helped us deal with the process of police report with great speed and attention. They coordinated with the police and called for them to come to the hotel at 3 a.m. in the morning, acted as our translator, helped us through 1 hour of document filling which had to be done in Russian language, and made us feel comfortable. In the next morning when we asked for a copy of the report, they efficiently coordinated with the police and when we had to leave the country they sent us the requested copy via email within the same day. We were so impressed by the professionalism and kindness of the hotel staff to the extent that our faith in Moscow had been restored. We will never forget your help.

Staff doesn't speak English and not helpful. Very far and not well connected to the city center

The room was very nice with Russian style. The bathroom was very clean and the water pressure was good. Though - the walls were very thin, you could here coughing loud and clear, also the phone call our neighbour called was easily heard. The breakfast included and was adequate though it wasn't anything special. The Sukharevsky metro station was nearby, so it was easy to get around.

The place is fantastic! The views from your room are exceptional. Staff is very accomodating but NOT for kids. No cribs. If your traveling with kids don’t recommend but couples you will be totally loving it.

It is nice to stay in this hotel with family

We stayed 3 nights in the hotel . The location was perfect : walking distance from all the most famous places to visit( Kremlin , GUM, Bolchoi...)Staff were very efficient and nice and spoke very good english which was something amazing in Moscow:) Very clean ,spacious and comfortable room. Will definitely recommend this hotel as a 5 stars!

The Hotel Gallery (remember to learn how is written in Cyrillic alphabet, since I had some problem to find it out when I got outside the tube station...) is located just above the orange metro station, so you can reach the city centre very easily.

The Hotel Gallery (remember to learn how is written in Cyrillic alphabet, since I had some problem to find it out when I got outside the tube station...) is located just above the orange metro station, so you can reach the city centre very easily. I had some problem during the chekc-in, because they told me they changed (arising) the tarifs the week before, but I didn't get any email of these changes neither from them or Agoda. Breakfast is good, the hotel is clean, interiors maybe a little bit "fanè, wilted", but I think for this price is pretty good for Moscow.

It’s a wonderful hotel with facilities which you need, at which you could find nice foods, restaurants as well as convenient stores and nice coffees. And it’s just next to the metro station.

For another thing, the people in the hotel are very friendly, nice and helpful. I did a very early check in to enjoy more in this hotel. I would highly recommend it to my friends. And I would absolutely stay here again next time I am in Moscow. Btw, Baumanskaya is a lovely district, too.

Pros: Great price. Very clean! Large room, Large bathroom, Beautiful grounds, Helpful staff Cons: WIFI was awful! No fitted sheets, no phone in room. No microwave. No Iron, Hotel is in the middle of nowhere . Hotek charges a fee to drive

Good price, good location, convenient to reach Moscow center as well as the SVO hotel.

Our visit to Moscow was enhanced by the stay at the Borodino. It was close to Metro stations and Railway stations. So it was easy to access the city and its attractions. We have already recommended to our friends via social media and e mail. But have also recommended to Real Russia, who organised our rail tickets etc to get here. We would definitely stay again

We took 15 mins to walk to red square whick pass H&M and so many shopping shops. The room’s very good and comfortable. We stay on 6 floor street side with the view of Seven Sister Stalin Building! There’s standard amenity with daily inroom instant tea and coffee, and also there’s bathtab seperate from shower room. Guests can use gym room and relaxing area for SPA on -1 floor, sauna, Turgish stream room, very nice color light shower room, and seperate locker rooms. The staffs were so kind and very helpful, they speak very well English. For us this hotel is one of the best choice! in Moscow with very reasonable price!

The hotel is very easy to find and is located in a very nice location, except being a little far away from the nearest metro station. The staffs were all very friendly and most of them speak good English. The room was cozy and nice! I would recommend this to my friends if they are going to visit Moscow!

I liked the hotel. The only complain was about the charges that i had to pay for the taxi to the airport. It was four times higher than it should have been. The hotel strangely didn't have a shuttle to the airport.

This hotel is very far from everything so if you decide to go with them than be prepared to spend money on taxis. if you do need a taxi do not get one directly from the hotel. they left me 30 min before reaching my destination because the driver did not know where he was going and his phone had died.

This hotel is very far from everything so if you decide to go with them than be prepared to spend money on taxis. if you do need a taxi do not get one directly from the hotel. they left me 30 min before reaching my destination because the driver did not know where he was going and his phone had died. However George the manager was extremely helpful and he did his best to help me with my luggage that went missing at the airport and even gave me toiletries to take with me. and One more thing request a room away from all the construction because it starts at 9 am and theres no way to step through it.

If you have to stay 1 night or long time wait in Moscow it is the best hotel you can find. Direct access from the airport

We had a lovely stay. The staff were friendly and helpful. The conscierge was more than helpful. She went out of her way to organise things for us and gave us directions to places. The hotel is old and this can be seen in it's decor, which is very charming. This helped give an expectation of old world service. We will stay in this hotel again when we return to Moscow.

Visited Moscow with wife on Vacation, had a splendid time. The hotel was exceptional with very active and friendly staff. Had inadvertently left my phone in a Taxi, the staff was clever to retrieve the phone within the hour. Definitely shall recommend the hotel. Will becoming back.

This was my first time staying at the Savoy and I would highly recommend this hotel for anyone. I have stayed at other hotels in Moscow and will always return for future stays at the Savoy.

This was my first time staying at the Savoy and I would highly recommend this hotel for anyone. I have stayed at other hotels in Moscow and will always return for future stays at the Savoy. The hotel is located a few minutes from the Bolshoi Theater, Red Square, restaurants and shopping. The Savoy's breakfast buffet is the best I had and have traveled throughout Russia. The hotel staff were very friendly, speak English and always ready to accommodate. The hotel built in 1913 is beautiful and has many amenities. The rooms are nice and the bathroom is lush. My only regret is that I didn't have more time to stay and relax more!

I got to your facility without my luggage key. Your people in housekeeping were wonderful and helped to open my bag without calling me a follis have Americian. Thanks to them for a great experience in Moscow.

Do not stay anywhere else in Moscow. Awesome palace/ hotel . Five minutes walk to the metro and just four stops from the red square. Huge rooms and the most friendly staff especially Vlad the conceage. Sitting in the palace outside courtyard drinking tea is the best experience ever. No need to even go outside to enjoy the lovely place. Don't think twise and book now.

Comfortable bed, clean shower room, convenient facilities, delicious breakfast. Regina, Rateb! Thank you.

Quality at every turn, from the food, decor, furnishings, bedding... They don't do many things but everything they do is executed with perfection. The polar exact opposite of chain hotels and a lesson to fussy and badly executed "boutique" hotels.

Nice living choice for business purpose, the hotel has the business lounge that can be used as free facility for thr swiss business executive room guest. However it is also good option to stay for sightseeing and shoping purpose.

Nice living choice for business purpose, the hotel has the business lounge that can be used as free facility for thr swiss business executive room guest. However it is also good option to stay for sightseeing and shoping purpose. Between your busy business time you can enjoy the hotel as one of Moscow landmark as it has city sky lounge to see Moscow city light. Besides it is only 2 metro station to Moscow Red Square or Arbat street wellknown as Moscow souvenir shoping centre. It is also quite easy to reach Moscow Domodedovo airport by catching the train from the station close to the hotel.

The hotel is not like a Marriott, just like a 3-star one with old and dilapidated interior, not much choice of breakfast. Really disappointed.

I was in Moscow for 6 nights. Kremlin is 12 minutes walk from the hotel. Really good night life around the area. The surrounding is very beautiful. Recommend for 1st timers to Moscow to stay at a good location like this to enjoy Moscow.

Love the location of Kempinski Moscow. We booked 3 night there. We got a wonderful view to kremlin red square. Our breakfast view to Saint Basil’s Cathedral. Best location ever. Thank you Kempinski for upgrade our room to have the Moscow iconic view:

4th time to Moscow. Will return to Lotte Hotel,

Luxury hotel at a prime location! Very near to all of the attractions and train stations, there are many cafes and restaurants around the hotel area as well.

This is the 2nd time we stayed at the hotel, after our trip to Saint Petersburg and we got upgraded to a huge suite with 3 separate large rooms, very large guest room with sofas and TV, dining rooms enough for 6 people, comfortable sleeping room. And the view from the windows are spectacular, Redsquare, Kremlin and also from afar the Church Of Christ the Saviour can be seen. Really the VERY BEST Hotel at the VERY BEST LOCATION in Moscow, right at the Red Square and just steps away from the Kremlin and GUM. Bolshoi and most 1st class restaurants are in walking distance. Basically near all main attractions and sights in Moscow. Staffs and services all very good. Should be 1st choice to stay in Moscow. Cannot be more than perfect.

This is one of the best hotel rooms I've ever stayed in. It was a total value for money. The location is not that great, since it's around 7-8 mins walking from the closest metro station, but the facilities and room make up for the location.

Just viewed by other Agoda travelers

Real reviews for hotels

Great architecture. although super cold and snow = its still amazing to walk there and see exactly that.

Great food at good price... lots to see and a mix of old and new... a vibrant and interesting city.

There are 96 parks and 18 gardens in Moscow, including 4 botanical gardens. There are also 450 square kilometres (170 sq mi) of green zones besides 100 square kilometres (39 sq mi) of forests.

Moscow is a very green city. Moscow is also the heart of the Russian performing arts, including ballet and film. There are 93 theaters, 132 cinemas and 24 concert halls in Moscow. Among Moscow’s many theaters and ballet studios is the Bolshoi Theatre and the Malyi Theatre as well as Vakhtangov Theatre and Moscow Art Theatre.

I visited mid October just as the weather started turning, and it is recommended to bring appropriate warm clothing as it can be extremely cold.

The metro has many stops to get you around the city, but it might take a moment to understand how it all works. There are plenty of sights to see both inside and on the outskirts of the city. Lots of shopping available, and many cafes to enjoy food and drink. I didn't find it very busy, but then it is much more spacious than most cities. Very friendly people.

Moscow was one of the best city i have ever visited and people were freindly , the only thing i faced was the language since they do not talk English , but overall was just perfect .

Moscow is a vibrant City with plenty of restuarants and plenty of architectural buildings to see, like The Kremlin, and St.

Basils Cathredral There is a lot of walking involved when in Moscow as it is a large city.

It's better to use a service from hotel for taxi. If you call taxi by your own, you would be over charged from Moscow taxi.

They didn't use a meter.

it's a more or less a cold city, in that i mean the person is not very welcoming and not with warmth!! generally cold and without smile!!

it's very difficult to communicate in Moscow, they don't speak English, and no English sign board, I have to take metro to go everywhere at the same time read through the map, otherwise I make sure i got lost!

Nice city with many cultural sites and historical memories. My short visit was impressive (after 25 years).

People were more friendly than 25 years ago and more relaxing from my very short observation and interaction at public transport and restaurant. Nice city and will come back for cultural and historical visits.

People are calm and cool. They don't smile and with no facial expression. No one talks inside the subway.

Staff everywhere are not helpful at all. Be positive and don't get upset nor mad when ignored by the staff in tix office/conceirge. The funny thing is even though they aware that you don't speak Russian, they will still continuesly speak Russian to you blablablablabla.... Architecture are amazing and subway station is unique!

Moscow is a wonderful place to visit, there are lots go interesting place to see. Transport around the city is well,organised and on time.

By a good book and a map, where good shoes because it's huge. There are lots of reasonable places to eat and drink. Of course it's a wonderful cultural place.

Moscow is a great city. Plenty to see and do. Cheap at the moment with the Ruble to GBP rate! Excellent shopping.

Metro very easy to use.

Among the world's great cities. Very much recommended. Leave the stereotypes at home and embrace the city and the inhabitants and you will love the experience.

People in Moscow seem not to be friendly but they are actually helpful and kind. We were reluctant at the train station to buy a ticket for the metro and there was a guy gave us a hand, took us to the right ticket booth and explain us everything.

He is really kind. There are a lot of impression about people in Moscow and if we have a chance, we will definitely go back there.

Wonderful city for history and culture. The Metro stations, Alexander Garden, the Kremlin, St Basil Cathedral, Bolshoi Theatre and the architecture are all awesome.

The local people were friendly and helpful even though they didn't speak English. I had a brilliant time as a solo traveler.

- Big and cold city. - All Hotels are very expensive. - Aint good and cheap food. + Awesome underground stations.

+ A lot of pretty girls).

Moscow is a nice city, its just too expensive. The traffic take the most of your time. The best way to get to your hotel is to take an express tram from the airport to the city and then continue in a taxi.

People are very rude, they are up themselves and they expect you to speak their language.

Sales in shops, even hotel staffs and people in the city hate travelers. They willfully let you now it.

People generally do not speak one single word in English. I rent a car and drive. A police car stop me. Tell me I run a red light. As me put USD300 in his police car before let me go. Otherwise, they said that they will detain me and take away my drives license.

I like the city centre and the architecture in Moscow., but outside it is a bit messy. You can really experience the extreme of rich and poor in this city.

This is quite interesting, but besides, a bit scary for a girl who travel alone, as people looks a bit defensive.

Red square area is the only area we think we are happy for.. Apart from that, it's nothing and overestimated from advertisement.

People are mostly not friendly, they never smile, thanks or say sorry before you say.. They response to your question with an annoy feeling with the annoy face. However, we try to understand it is thier nature. Anyway, some are better, they try to help with no smile and feeling of annoy.

I loved Moscow despite everything I had heard. Red Square and the Kremlin were interesting, the National Museum was very well presented and the shops in the area (including the famous GUM) provided a delightful shopping experience if you like that type of thing.

I was lucky enough to have friends who were able to drive myself and my Mum around to show us a lot more than we could have seen otherwise (as my mother is elderly). The main drawback is the public transport is only in Cyrillic so be prepared with a translated map to figure it out if you don't speak Russian. Russians were very friendly, with several offering assistance with Mum's bags and a couple of elderly folks striking up conversation with us, despite the language barrier. Visa requirements are difficult for most travellers to Russia but well worth the effort. We did not feel unsafe, but have travelled a lot in a lot of different countries, also we were travelling in the very low season so there were not crowds to deal with. The train from St Petersburg to Moscow was very modern, comfortable and clean. If you are thinking about it - GO you will love it too.

Moscow is biggest city. For sure You should know what are U looking for and find the right places.. Amazing city.

It is a very beautiful(probably the most beautiful) city in view of the very impressive classical building styles, etc.

Citizens are very law-abiding. Weather must be one of the reasons to create a people that are quite resilient in facing life. (Russian people don't complain at all!)

It is nothing to add if everybody have a travel book. History of Moscow is very long and interesting, especially when you want to see how looks the capital of collapsed Soviet Union, how people lived in so called "building communism society".

Russian people in Moscow and St.Petersburg are very much difference but People in Moscow is worse who usually have attitude, fierce and not helpful and friendly.

You can't be relax there as there is no English sign at anything and people don't speak or try to speak in English. If you speak English with them even at the airport, they will stare at you badly. There is no tax refund like most of the country in the World. All brand name stuff is even more expensive than Hong Kong. The only attractive is Red Wall...that's it.

MOSCOW IS A VERY BEAUTIFUL CITY. THE ONLY THING THAT I CAN COMPLAIN IS THAT THE INHABITANTS ARE NOT FRIENDLY ANDIF YOU ARE TRAVELLING WITH ENGLISH AS YOUR LANGUAGE, IT IS GOING TO BE HARD TO YOU .

ALL THE METRO STATIONS ARE IN THE CIRRILIC ALPHABET AND THEY HAVE NO INDICATIONS IN ENGLISH OR ANYOTHER LANGUAGE .

Moscow appeared to be trying to overcome 70 years of austerity, despite the obvious attraction of most visitors to this period of its history.

Moskwa is good city with old fashion nice metro stations. It's reflect from the buildings and cultures.

From the airport we took airport taxi to avoid 'black taxi' to the hotel. We had to prepare city map and metro map to travel in group by our selves. Some peoples couldn't speak English. Nice place to see are : Kremlin, Red Square, Kievkaya mall, river cruise tours. There were a free city tour in the city to travel around. Nice to visit Moskwa.

great City to visit, Kremlin Museums incl. Diamond Fund, Red Square and St. Basils are mandatory, Art Museums are great, walled monasteries good, Army Museum good.

Metro is best and fastest way to get around City.

i was worried about visiting Moscow alone without knowing Russian language but most people were super nice.

if you practice some basic Russian and have the map of the metro in your language, itll be fine! ;)

15 Fantastic and Easy Day Trips From Moscow

Is the hustle and bustle of Moscow starting to wear you down? No worries. There are multiple great day trips from Moscow that will let you see a different side of Russia that you won’t find in the metropolitan area. Each day trip I’ve listed below can easily be done by train from Moscow, and there are trains every day of the week.

The area surrounding Moscow is rich in cultural attractions and natural beauty. By traveling only a short distance, one feels far away from the crowds, and lines of the sprawling Russian capital. Since Russia is undoubtedly an expansive country it may take from half an hour to two hours to reach some of the landmarks on this list (by train or car) from the Moscow city center.

You can escape to the picturesque Russian countryside, visit war memorials, battlefields, admire onion-domed churches, and get insight into the local way of life. Easy day trips from Moscow include the incomparable white-stone Trinity Cathedral in Sergiyev Posad, the spectacular Cathedral of the Assumption in Dmitrov, and the Russian military aircraft in Monino. For those who love rural tranquility, Suzdal and Vladimir are a must-see. History buffs will appreciate the Patriotic War of 1812 reenactment that took place in Borodino on the first weekend of September.

Without further ado, here are 15 best day trips from Moscow that are well worth your attention.

The Best Day Trips from Moscow

There’s a reason Moscow is one of Europe’s most enigmatic destinations. It’s got culture, class, food, history, and more, but even better, is that it is the country’s main transport hub with so many attractions within a day trip from Moscow. While you can definitely spend days or even weeks in Moscow, it can, of course, be done in just one week. What can you do in Moscow in seven days ? Well, you can do a lot if you know how to plan a trip to a place you know so little about.

If you’re ready to get out of the city a bit and soak up the culture, fresh air, and enchanting architecture, I’ve rounded up my favorite day trips outside of Moscow. I often get asked: What are the best cities to visit in Russia? And these are places that I’ve been and loved.

My Favorite Easy Day Trips from Moscow:

Dmitrov Kolomna Zvenigorod Sergiyev Posad Yaroslavl Arkhangelskoye Estate Vladimir Suzdal Korolev Borodino Patriot Park in Kubinka Melikhovo Gorki Leninskie Kaluga Monino

1. Day Trip to Dmitrov from Moscow

Dmitrov may not be as popular as other cities in Russia, but the fact that the city was founded only 7 years earlier than Moscow makes for a great day trip. This small city some 90 kilometers from Moscow is particularly beautiful in the summer. As you walk the streets you can see sparkling fountains, charming centuries-old buildings, yachts and boats transiting through the canal and, of course, the Museum-Reserve Dmitrov Kremlin.

The Kremlin (castle) is the city’s main draw. The 10m high and about 1km long earthen rampart remained behind the wooden wall and gives an idea of how the castle looked like 400 years ago. The oldest surviving building on the Kremlin grounds is the 16th-century Assumption Cathedral with a unique five-tier iconostasis.

Not far from the Kremlin there is a compact 15th-century Borisoglebsky convent. Its main building – the 16th-century Cathedral of Sts. Boris and Gleb is open to the visitors only for services of worship. In the 1930s in the convent housed a labor camp, which contained the builders of the Canal named after Moscow.

Getting There: Dmitrov sits an easy hour and sixteen minutes by train from Savyelovskiy Rail Terminal. This cheap day trip from Moscow is a great chance to soak up the historic charm to be found in Moscow Oblast.

2. Day Trip to Kolomna from Moscow

Situated to the south-east of Moscow, Kolomna is a beautiful port city on the Oka River. This is one of the oldest Russian cities in the region. So you can discover the old history in museums and monasteries. Interestingly, the city was a site for important weapon factories under the Soviet Union. Although it was opened up in 1994 Kolomna is not as popular as other day-trip destinations in the region.

Nevertheless, it is a great place to visit with friends and family where you can explore the 15th-century Kremlin made of red brick, try incredibly sweet traditional pastila (marshmallow), and visit some of the cute little churches and 19th-century mansions.

Getting There: Take the express train (commuter line train) from the Kazansky rail terminal to Golutvin station. The trip lasts one hour and forty minutes.

3. Day Trip to Zvenigorod from Moscow

This one is usually a given due to its proximity to and ease of transport from Moscow. It’s one of the easiest day trips from Moscow by train. You can easily hop on the train from the city and land right in the town of Zvenigorod where you can visit the 14th-century Savvino-Storozhevsky Monastery and sample the sparkly and refreshing kvass, a Russian specialty beverage that’s enjoyed in the summer months.

Zvenigorod is an adorable little town just under an hour away from the Moscow city and is an amazing place to visit as it will give a relaxing break from the hectic life of Moscow. Check this day trip if you don’t feel like planning.

If you have a sweet tooth, spend some time in the quirky Museum of Russian Desserts, where you can indulge in uniquely delicious treats and explore the intersection of food and culture.

Then you may want to pay the Zvenigorod Museum of History, Architecture, and Art a visit. The museum’s exposition is located on the territory of the Savvino-Storozhevsky monastery, or rather, in the 17th-century Tsaritsyny chambers, built for the wife of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich. Stroll through the museum halls to view the permanent exhibitions, which offer insights into various aspects of Russian history. The intricate museum’s building is adorned with a decorative porch, complex patterned elements, and looks very impressive in general.

4. Day Trip to Sergiyev Posad from Moscow

If you’re looking for cheap day trips from Moscow, Sergiyev Posad is a good choice at just a few dollar train ride away. Known as a major center of pilgrimage and home to one of the largest Russian Orthodox Monastery which has been here for hundreds of years, Sergiyev Posad is a fun day trip from Moscow and can be combined with Abramtsevo Museum Estate. As the only town in Moscow Region which is included in the Golden Ring of Russian cities, Sergiyev Posad is an incredible destination for a day trip from Moscow that packs UNESCO-protected Trinity Sergius Lavra, great museums, and gorgeous architecture into one day.

Make sure you see the six-pillared Assumption Cathedral that was commissioned by Ivan the Terrible in mid-16th-century and go inside to marvel at the impressive iconostasis that features Simon Ushakov’s masterpiece, the icon of Last Supper. Enjoy a delicious lamb steak with wheat kasha, Ukha fish soup, or hand-made dumplings as you learn a lot about religious and cultural history.

Getting There: Known for its small-town charm and welcoming feel, you can get to Sergiyev Posad by train, by bus, or by car. Trains depart from Yaroslavsky Rail Terminal every thirty minutes, and the trip lasts about an hour and a half. Alternatively, you can hop on a bus at the ‘VDNKh’ metro station. A bus trip to Sergiyev Posad takes two hours on average but can be reached in 90 minutes depending on traffic. If you go by car expect to spend about an hour and a half attempting to traverse the congested Yaroslavskoye highway.

5. Day Trip to Yaroslavl from Moscow

Going from Moscow to Yaroslavl may seem like a really long day trip, but honestly, if you take the comfortable train, it only takes about four hours to reach the city, so making a Yaroslavl day trip is totally doable. Although I do recommend much more than one day in Yaroslavl, especially if it’s your first time.

Cultural tourists visiting Yaroslavl should start their exploration by strolling the historic city center, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A spacious 100-hectare area enclosed by Sobinova and Republican streets is home to most popular attractions – the 17th-century Church of Elijah the Prophet that survived almost exactly in its original form, and in contrast to it, the white stone Assumption Cathedral, restored in the 2000s.

If you walk a bit further passing the Holy Trinity sculpture and city’s foundation stone, you will find yourself at Strelka, a park on the cape, which offers panoramic views of the spot at the confluence of Volga and Kotorosl rivers. On the way back, there is a pleasant walk along the picturesque Volga embankment to the Governor’s Garden with shadowy alleys and an open-air Sculpture museum.

Getting There: Yaroslavl is about 280 km (173 miles) northeast of Moscow, so the best way to get there is to take a morning train from Yaroslavskiy Rail Terminal. A tour is also a great way to see the Yaroslavl without having to worry about driving or searching for trains. You can book a tour here.

6. Day Trip to Arkhangelskoye Estate from Moscow

Situated on the outskirts of Moscow and dates back to the late 18th-century, Arkhangelskoye Estate was the domain of the nobility for over a century until the Russian Revolution swept people who owned the estate out of the country. The estate was turned into a museum, which it remains today.

The Arkhangelskoye Estate Museum holds the largest rare-book collection. The exhibition also includes old manuscripts, historical documents, photos from the past, a vast collection of sculpture, paintings, engravings, and exceptional examples of decorative art. These art objects once belonged to Prince Nikolai Yusupov, the former owner of the estate.

Arkhangelskoye Estate is often referred to as the Russian version of Versailles because of the intricately manicured garden and beautiful 18th-century park. Famous Russian writers and poets such as Pushkin, Herzen, Mayakovsky loved to spend their free time here making long excursions in the surrounding area. Arkhangelskoye is a perfect place to appreciate the terraces decorated by delightful statues, exquisite vases, and busts.

Visitors can take tours, which introduce them to vibrant examples of Russian art and culture.

Getting There: To reach the estate it’s best to take a bus or a privately-owned minibus that departs from Tushinskaya metro station.

7. Day Trip to Vladimir from Moscow

Situated only two hours east of Moscow, Vladimir is absolutely one of the best places to visit near Moscow for a day trip. This splendid city dates back to the 12th century and has a very rich history. If magnificent Orthodox cathedrals and traditional white-stone architecture entice you, then this place is perfect for a day trip with your significant other.

First things first, you need to see the Golden Gate, which indicates the entrance into the old town. This 12th-century medieval masterpiece of military architecture is associated not only with Vladimir but with the Golden Ring tourist route itself. At the top of the gate, where once was the Church of the Deposition of the Robe, there is the Museum of Weapons. Great looking arrowheads and spear points date back to the Grand Principality of Vladimir, while the exhibition in an impressively majestic setting features a number of Batu-Khan related artifacts.

There’s a variety of attractions to put on your must-see list: the Old Believers Trinity Church right behind it, the Cathedral of St Demetrius, and Dormition (Uspensky) Cathedral. If you plan on shopping for souvenirs like birch-bark masterpieces of Kunov’s masters, drawings, carving, embossing, figures of people and animals, stop by the Lacquer Miniature, the Museum of Crystal, and the Gingerbread Museum. Many of the local attractions were added to UNESCO’s list of World Heritage sites.

Getting There: The best way to visit this area is to catch an early train from Moscow and book a full-day tour of Vladimir in advance. This one includes the town of Suzdal as well.

8. Day Trip to Suzdal from Moscow

This gem of a little medieval town perched on a hill just a 30-minute ride from Vladimir is one of those places I’ve visited and could move there permanently and be happy! It’s a charming little piece of history that also has a Kremlin and visiting it feels like stepping back in time. if you’re a culture enthusiast you’ll be glad to know there are numerous churches, five monasteries, including Spaso-Yevfimiev Monastery in Suzdal. Check them out if you want to get a real taste of the country!

pend some time shopping at the Torgovaya ploshchad (Market Square), where you can buy baskets made of birch bark, ceramic handmade plates, honey or souvenirs and, of course, grab some afternoon tea!

Getting There: Trains leave regularly from Moscow’s Kurskiy Rail Terminal to Vladimir where you can hop on a bus to Suzdal. You can also take a bus from Moscow. In this case, it might take longer and you’ll probably encounter infamous traffic jams. If you go by express train the trip takes about 1 hour and 40 minutes. There are slower trains of course, but I’d recommend going with the fast one and save a lot of time!

9. Day Trip to Korolev from Moscow

Located some 30 kilometers northeast of Moscow, Korolev has become arguably the most important space research center with skilled workers from across the Soviet Union who came here to expand the space program.

It became a leading institute dedicated to aerospace research in the country. Today, that tendency can still be clearly seen on the streets and in the buildings. When the Soviet Union collapsed, the city retained its status as the headquarters of Russia’s space surveillance network and now it hosts the Russian Mission Control Center, an analogue of the American Mission Control Center at NASA’s Space Center in Houston.

If you want to learn more about Mission Control Center and the former Russian Mir space station, book a tour with a knowledgeable guide who can clearly tell the history of this place.

If you’re not into space exploration there is also a Memorial Apartment Museum of Marina Tsvetaeva in Bolshevo. With a picturesque park next to the museum, it’s a great place for walking in the fresh air. The highlight of the park is memorial stones with quotes from Tsvetaeva’s poems.

Getting There: I’d recommend going by train. Catch one at Yaroslavskiy Rail Terminal that departs every 30 minutes to reach Bolshevo station.

10. Day Trip to Borodino from Moscow

The historic Battle of Borodino on September 7, 1812, took place just outside the small village of Borodino, about 140 km west of Moscow, and about 15 km from the nearest town of Mozhaysk. Although the French won the Battle of Borodino and went to capture Moscow, it was one of the bloodiest battles of the pre-twentieth-century that is also predetermined Napoleon’s defeat.

While it was a battlefield back then, not much remains today. It’s mostly a green and grassy field now with a few monuments of military honor, architectural objects dated back to 19th and 20th century, and fortification facilities scattered throughout the area. The largest of these is the 27-meter high obelisk located right at the heart of the former battlefield.

Every year the military and patriotic festival and theatrical performance take place in Borodino. Early September is considered to be the best for visiting. But if you just want to feel the spirit of the battle, it’s better to go at any other time of the year.

Getting there: Hop on a train from the Belorussky rail terminal, disembark in Mozhaysk, and then take a bus to the museum. The whole travel time is about 2 hours.

11. Day Trip to Patriot Park in Kubinka from Moscow

Once a Red Army tank training ground, now it’s a military Disneyland with history, structure, guns, and armored vehicles! The tank museum originally housed one of the world’s largest and rarest collections of tanks. In 2016 they combined the training grounds with the newly-created Patriot Park. Since then, some of the notable and rare items have been moved to the Patriot Park site, so you may want to combine both sites into one tour (only about 20 minutes apart).

The exhibition grounds include some very rare specimens that are must-see for any military enthusiasts out there. The staff is friendly, helpful and kind, while the museum has a small shop. As this site is part of an operating military base, they may ask you to show your passport, or provide them with a photocopy of the front pages. There are vending machines for snacks and drinks, and there are bathroom facilities. There’s plenty to see, so I recommend setting aside an entire day!

Getting there: Situated halfway between Borodino and Moscow, the best way to reach Patriot Park in Kubinka is by car. Alternatively, if you don’t want to rent one, consider car-sharing apps like Gett or UBER. The price of ride-sharing services is cheap enough to make them a viable proposition for choosing them.

12. Day Trip to Melikhovo from Moscow

Located some 80 km from Moscow, Melikhovo is one of the most important museums dedicated to Anton Pavlovich Chekhov. This renowned Russian writer and playwright acquired Melikhovo in 1892. He lived there with his parents and close relatives for 7 years before moving to the Crimea in 1899. Melikhovo is where he wrote his plays “The Man in the Case” and “The Seagull”.

The estate faded into oblivion right after the Revolution but in 1939 Anton Chekhov’s sister Maria and his nephew established a museum based on Chekhov’s place of living. The museum opened its doors to the public in 1941.

Today museum’s exhibition reveals the legacy of a celebrated writer and shows his path not only as a writer but as a doctor and public figure as well. The collection also features some of the best-known paintings by famous artists like Isaac Levitan and Vasily Polenov, who were Chekhov’s friends. When it comes to fun and educational day trips from Moscow, Melikhovo is a nice place for learning more about Chekov’s life and work.

Getting There: You can reach Melikhovo by train from Kurskiy rail Terminal. Disembark in the town of Chekhov and hop on a minibus that will get to the estate. Alternatively, hop on a bus that departs from the Yuzhnaya metro station.

13. Day Trip to Gorki Leninskie from Moscow

Once the realm of Russian nobles, Gorki Leninskie was turned into Lenin’s museum some 25 years after his death. The estate sits some 30-minute bus ride from the Domodedovskaya metro station and houses Soviet-era memorabilia and Lenin’s memorial flat recently transferred from the Kremlin, as well as his vintage Rolls-Royce.

Most people only associate this place with the name of the first communist leader. In fact, the name of the estate was first mentioned in documents dating back to the 16th-century. Throughout its history, the estate was owned by a number of prominent figures. It’s in fact one of the best museums that holds the country’s finest collection 19th-century furnishings and a unique collection of domestic items owned by nobles. Plus, ancient Vyatichi native tribe or East Slavs who inhabited a part of the Oka basin’s burial mounds and a few notable sculptures are hidden behind the avenues of lime trees in the park.

Getting There: You could, of course, hop on a bus from Domodedovskaya metro station. But it would be much easier just to use UBER or Gett. The estate isn’t that far from the Moscow Circle Road but going there by bus may involve some navigating.

14. Day Trip to Kaluga from Moscow

If you’re looking for an educational day trip from Moscow, look no farther than Kaluga! This beautiful city could really entertain you for more than just a day, but to get a taste of science, be sure to visit the Tsiolkovsky State Museum of the History of Cosmonautics. Or in other words, the Space Museum.

Visitors to the museum will learn more about the history of space exploration. In fact, this is one of the largest Space Museums in Russia, which opened its doors in Kaluga in 1967. Here you can see a prototype of the iconic MIR space station and a duplicate of the Voskhod rocket. The very same rocket that took the first man to space. There’s also a planetarium, which from the outside resembles a spaceship.

Kaluga is a totally walkable city. Make sure to spend some time strolling Teatralnaya street with the authentic 19th-century pavement that now marks the Kilometer Zero. Then walk across the 18th-century Kamenniy Most (the Stone Bridge) that somewhat resembles a Roman aqueduct. If you’re an architecture buff marvel at the Church of St. Cosmas and Damian.

It is assumed that the church was erected by one of the followers of Francesco Bartolomeo Rastrelli in 1794. The church resembles the Smolny Convent in St. Petersburg. With five church towers directed upward and six tiers of oblong windows give the exterior a sense of lightness and airiness.

Getting There: Trains from Kiyevsky Rail Terminal to Kaluga leave every 90 minutes. The trip takes about 2 hours and 35 minutes.
