What are some of the things I can expect to see when visiting Russia?
Moscow: Big, bustling and picturesque, Moscow is a fascinating city that demands a visit of at least three to four nights if your schedule permits. The best place to start is to head for Red Square, in the very center of Moscow. There you’ll find two of the most enduring symbols in Russia: onion-domed St. Basil’s Cathedral which has a stunning interior, and the Kremlin, the centuries-old seat of Russian rulers. There are many exhibits on display at the Kremlin at any one time; the one not to miss is the permanent collection of the treasures of the Czars (Faberge eggs, Peter the Great’s throne, Catherine the Great’s carriage and more.) On Tverskaya Street, just off Red Square, you’ll find a mix of Russian and foreign stores and shops including Christian Dior, Estee Lauder and even Pizza Hut. Tverskaya leads to Pushkin Square. Don’t miss a ride on the Moscow subway (Metro), a marvel of efficiency and design. Moscow University is one of the largest buildings in the world. Are lover will e
