The capital and a must-visit. Moscow is the central focal point of New Russia and everything that it represents.
Moscow is a city where history unfolds around every corner – whether in the magnificent golden-domed cathedrals, the grand political building of the Kremlin and the building surrounding Red Square and the infamous domes of St Basil’s Cathedral.
It is not until the last few years that Moscow has transformed itself into one of the most vibrant, dynamic and exciting cities in the world. Its restaurants are chic and serve some of the best food in Europe, there is a huge range of luxury hotels and it remains the perfect starting point for many trips within Russia.
Furthermore, unlike St Petersburg, which concentrates on foreign art, Moscow is the centre for Russian art and artefacts and has a correspondingly greater variety of museums and galleries. Moscow is still developing its modernity but embracing every minute of it; the majority of Muscovites are keen to welcome the new global culture.
A visit to Moscow works perfectly in combination with Russia’s other infamous but slightly less harsh city, St Petersburg – see our journey idea for further details. Trains between these two main Russian cities are readily available along with river cruises following the Volga River between Moscow to St Petersburg taking in a wealth of Russian historic scenery along the way.
