Moscow
Red Square
Moscow       Highlights
As the capital of medieval Russia, the Communist symbol of the Soviet state, the centre of the New Russia, Moscow is the very essence of its country.
Moscow is a huge city in every sense – as a soviet architectural utopia turned into reality and as one of the biggest cities in the world. Its size raises just one question - how elastic is the material Moscow is made of, i.e. how much bigger can it grow? The city was designed in concentric circles around the ancient Kremlin, with streets and boulevards stretching from the center. As in a labyrinth, no matter where you choose to go you will finally find yourself in the Red Square at the Kremlin wall. Once there you will end up having the chance to see the most amazing museums of the Kremlin. Once you successfully fight the gravitational force of the Kremlin, you might find yourself wandering through the streets defined by Stalinist skyscrapers. Admiring the scale of avenues as you venture through the city, as well as the quiet small streets and lanes, you might enjoy the peculiar mix of medieval monasteries and churches, classicist buildings, art nouveau residences, soviet houses and modern constructions. Descending into the Moscow Metro, you will be attracted to the luxurious and eclectic Stalinist decor and sculptures from the 1930-1950s. The Metro is the greatest pride of Moscow and the most striking monuments of the Soviet epoch. It is also the best way to travel around the city. Above ground, Moscow compels its visitors the opportunity to experience the centuries-old parks, vast and picturesque green areas inside the city, such as; Tsaritsyno, Kolomenskoye, Izmailovo, once the residences of Tsars and nobles. While enjoying the historical sites, do not forget the modern life. The burst of energy and growth is evident in all aspects of arts and culture here. Former factories have been converted into first-class art galleries and restaurants; former estates become the grounds for musical and performing arts.

St. Petersburg
Palace Square
St. Petersburg       Highlights
As the capital of the Russian Empire, St. Petersburg was built according to ingenious town planning design by a team of Western architects. Its unsurpassed perfection rivals Venice and Paris, and validates the existence of Russia.
Founded by Peter the Great in 1703, St. Petersburg was the capital of the Russian Empire for more than two hundred years. The need to turn an old-fashioned country on the periphery of Europe into the center of European politics resulted in a sensational new capital built on the swamps. St. Petersburg later became the home of great writers like Pushkin, Gogol, and Dostoevsky, and the embodiment of the Golden Age of Russian art. The combination of baroque and neoclassical architecture, the unspoiled buildings standing along the banks of innumerable canals; the canals, the bridges, the Neva River, the Needle of the Admiralty, the Winter Palace and many other landmarks strike its visitors. St. Petersburg has a proper look for a perfect capital. Stroll along the Nevsky prospect and small back streets, and visit the fortress of Peter and Paul, the St.Isaac cathedral, the Church on Spilt Blood - the trademarks of St.Petersburg. Take a boat ride and experience the city views from the water. Spend the whole day at the Hermitage, once the residence of the Russian emperors, and now the main museum of Russia that contains an art collection of incredible size. While in St. Petersburg, do not miss the charming surroundings of the city. Choose between shiny Peterhof, the ceremonial Palace of Catherine the Great in Tsarskoe Selo and cozy Pavlovsk, take a stroll down the alleys of Gatchina or Oranienbaum parks. St.Petersburg is considered by many to be the cultural center of Russia - various theaters and concert halls are at your disposal. Mariinsky theatre may be the first on your list – one of the best theaters in Russia.

Golden ring
Suzdal
Golden ring       Highlights
The group of ancient Russian towns around Moscow scattered amidst plains, lakes, rivers and forests known as the Golden Ring, played a significant role in the formation of the Russian Orthodox Church and the Russian state.
The Golden Ring includes a number of ancient towns, monuments and famous sites in Russia, located north-east of Moscow. These cities give one an idea of the medieval times in Russia. Having once played an important role in the course of the Russian history, the Golden Ring towns are now referred to as “open air museums”. They feature unique monuments of the twelve-eighteenth century Russian art and architecture: various monasteries, kremlins (fortresses), cathedrals, and churches with classical icons. Some of them such as the St. Sergius Lavra, and white stone architectural masterpieces in Vladimir and Suzdal are included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. The landscape of the Golden Ring is specific to Russia: the picturesque banks of Volga River with splashes of ancient architecture, fields, and small provincial towns where the pace of life is much slower than in the capital. A trip around the Golden Ring is a fascinating journey into the Russian history, culture and spiritual traditions.

Karelia
Karelia       Highlights
Karelia is the land of breathtaking natural beauty, vast forests, infinite lakes, and cliffs; as well as of wooden churches, horses, and monks. In addition Karelia contains the legendary Valaam monastery.
Karelia is situated to the north of St.Petersburg: it stretches along the border with Finland up to the Arctic Circle and abandons with forests, lakes and rivers, including the Ladoga and the Onega - the two largest lakes in Europe. This singular place in the Russian North is truly the land of primordial nature. Take a boat ride in one of the many lakes or rivers, go fishing, rafting, pick berries in the woods or just wander around and enjoy the scenery. Visit Kizhi, the marvel of Karelia, a splendid open air museum of wooden architecture. Take a look at the glorious Valaam monastery situated on an island on the Ladoga Lake. See prehistoric petroglyphs, stone drawings, and seidas, the propped up idols made of stones and boulders, near Kem city.

Воронеж
St.Sophia Cathedral
Воронеж       Highlights
The Mother of all Russian towns, the center of Orthodoxy, home of the Orange Revolution and the capital of Ukraine, Kiev is a surprising bourgeois town, quiet and festive at the same time with a great number of iconic buildings.
Kiev is one of the oldest cities in Europe, yet it is the capital of one of the youngest European countries. By a twist of fate, it has been the capital of two different states: first of Kievan Rus, the predecessor of modern Russia, and now, a millennium later, of Ukraine. Kiev is an extraordinary beautiful European city suffused in green. Its parks and gardens along the Dnepr River, its quiet streets and well-preserved modernist buildings, ornate eclecticism, its gingerbread baroque as well as glorious architecture from the time of Yaroslav the Wise make Kiev a perfect place for strolls of any duration. A cradle of Orthodox Christianity, Kiev blends together many significant religious monuments: the XI century boisterous Saint Sophia Cathedral served as the main cathedral of Kievan Rus and the Kiev Pechersk Lavra (the Monastery on Caves) is the oldest monastery and significant religious site that offers the best view from its bell tower. Kiev is much further South than Moscow and spring arrives earlier there, while the first snow occurs much later. One night train ride from Moscow or one and a half hours by air transports a visitor to the a different country which was once the origin of all Russian. Kiev is especially worth visiting in May when the scent of blooming chestnut trees fills the air

Trans Siberian Railway
Baikal
Trans Siberian Railway       Highlights
The Trans-Siberian Railway that links Moscow and Vladivostok is the longest rail line on Earth and the straightest way to explore the incomprehensibly huge Russia. It is worth riding 10,000 km with no apparent purpose but just to experience and enjoy the journey itself.
The railroad runs clear across the two continents connecting the European Russia with Siberia and the Far East. A trip on the Trans-Siberian Express offers a wide range of pleasures including the view from a car window providing insights to the vastness of Russia’s open space. One can choose various itineraries: Yekaterinburg, the border town of Europe and Asia and the final abode of the Russian royal dynasty; Novosibirsk, the city of science; Irkutsk, the exile city built by the Decembrists, with the stunning Baikal Lake nearby; or Ulan Ude, the center of Buddhism in Russia; or Vladivostok, the very edge of Russia and of the entire continent. The journey across this half of the world takes almost a week and is memorable in every detail.

Vologda
Kremlin Square
Vologda       Highlights
This charming rural town is known for its laces, wooden crafts and, alas, butter but the real gem is its ancient monasteries located nearby.
Vologda was founded the same year Moscow was, and was much favored by Russian rulers. With its high concentration of architectural monuments, churches, monasteries, and wooden houses, all perfectly preserved, Vologda is the embodiment of harmony. There are numerous things to see, not to mention the bustling monks. The fifteenth century Assumption Cathedral is a museum that exhibits ancient icons and folk crafts along with wooden architecture from the neighboring villages. The immensely impressive and colorful Kirillov monastery is a true marvel of the city. While in Vologda do not forget about the Ferapontov monastery that hosts the entirely amazing fifteenth century Dionisius icons. Furthermore, the quiet and stately nature of the Russian North fills the hearts of its guests with piece and calmness.
