  • Russia Moscow

    The old capital city of the Soviet empire inspired fear across the world from inside the Kremlin, a city within the city, protected by its high, red ramparts. Nowadays, tourists all rush to the Red Square, between Lenin's Mausoleum and the Basilica of Saint Basil the Blessed, topped with onion domes, seemingly freshly pulled out of a fairy tale. Underground train network seems like a subterranean palace; in the blink of an eye the train takes you to Café Pushkin, Star City or Stalin's bunker. After nightfall, give in to the Muscovite night life, for which it is known worldwide. Find your flights Moscow at the best prices

Russia : Travel Information before you go!

map Russia

Discover the Destination

Russia consists of an immense territory which stretches out to the Pacific. Crossing the country takes a mythical journey via the Trans-Siberian train up to Vladivostok passing through Moscow and Saint Petersburg. The largest metropolis of Europe, Saint Petersburg brims full of churches, convents, monasteries and a number of Orthodox Basilicas decorated with superb icons and golden domes. A veritable city within a city, the Kremlin is isolated by high red walls, and continues to fascinate the traveller crossing the Red Square to admire St Basil's Basilica. The Basilica, a UNESCO world heritage site, is one of the most impressive of Orthodox buildings which looks like it was taken right out of a fairytale. The capital of the Tsars has just celebrated its 300th birthday. It is an artistic city built on meandering canals of the Neva River, similar to Venice but on a larger scale. From a 'Nevski' perspective, the winter palace and the Hermitage Museum demonstrate Saint Petersburg's extraordinary architectural, religious and literary heritage and positions itself as one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
