Moscow and Barcelona are Next to Get Foursquare City Badges

A round of applause for Foursquare! As we've said time and time again, the location-based social media app has quickly replaced guidebooks as our preferred source of information and, with the introduction of a slew of new world city badges, they've also managed to fix the complaint that they're too "NYC-centric."

The newest metropoli to have the honor of a badge are Moscow, Russia and Barcelona, Spain.

How to get the badges: First, follow 4sqCities, and just to be safe, it wouldn't hurt to also follow the individual city list for Moscow (here) and Barcelona (here).Then travel to Moscow or Barcelona and clickety-click to check-in to the places on the recommended lists. Five places earns the badge.

SPOILER ALERT! Here's the unlock text for each of the newest badges:

Red Square:
Art thou a true Moskvitch? Da! From Tolstoy’s tomes to the busy shoppers on Tverskaya Street, your babushka’s matreshka dolls to the metro station mosaics, you know Moscow better than Pushkin and Chekhov combined. Buy yourself a blin (or five)!

Ciutat Comtal:
Hola, Barcelona! Get your Catalan on (you’re no guiri!) and wander over to Les Rambles to soak up the scene. After a crema catalana, climb the la Sagrada Familia to watch the sun go down, then head to Razzmatazz and party ‘til it rises again. Com mola!

Now, if we can make a request? Hey, Foursquare, how about a Hong Kong badge? From Victoria Harbour to Mongkok and all the way over to Stanley, never has a city had more awesome things to feature with a City List.
