Have you ever been in Moscow? or to Moscow?

We'd naturally say "Have you ever been to Moscow?" The "to" indicates the transit of going there and coming back. Look up the difference between "have gone to ___" and "have been to ___". It's possible to use "in", but when I hear learners say this it always seems a bit off, like asking "How long are you in Moscow?" compared to "How long have you been in Moscow?" These are different questions. I guess it's because "in" usually means a static position. If the question is to do with travel, use "to".
