Moscow and St Petersburg, Russia - 6 night package

Areas of old Moscow still exist, most famously Red Square with its landmark St Basil’s Cathedral. There is also the very new oil-rich Moscow of designer shops and men in black. At the Bolshoi Theatre see the ballet and opera companies and the orchestra perform and at the Kremlin Palace theatre.

In 1779 Peter the Great dreamed about a city that would be as unlike Moscow as possible, a modern city that would be designed to a plan. He realised his dream with the building of St Petersburg. Giving it a new style; Baroque, Rococo, Classical and Russian Revival.

A must see in Moscow is a visit to the Kremlin and the Armoury, plus a weekend shopping at the Ismailovsky market. In St Petersburg it has to be the Hermitage including the Gold Rooms, and the baroqueCatherinePalace.

Package includes two Capitals tour St Petersburg to St Petersburg for 6 nights/7 days.

For a different type of Russian holiday why not consider Siberia and the Far East or a cruise on the Volga?
