ТОP ATTRACTIONS: MOSCOW

RED SQUARE

No matter how many times you walk on the uneven cobblestones of Red Square, the view is awe-inspiring and the experience monumental. Stand in the center and let your mind wander as centuries of Russian history unfold in the architecture. Tsars were crowned and traitors beheaded just outside of St. Basil’s Cathedral’s colorful domes. Soviet tanks once rolled ceremoniously across as Stalin surveyed from the sidelines, and Lenin’s mausoleum is still guarded by stern-faced soldiers.

THE KREMLIN AND ARMORY CHAMBER

The first walls of the Kremlin were erected more than 850 years ago and continue to symbolize Russian power today. Don’t miss the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Alexander Gardens, a popular place for newlyweds to have their first photo taken. The Armory Chamber is the jewel of the Kremlin and contains one of the richest collections of silver, gold, diamonds, and Faberge eggs in the country. Several halls display more than 4,000 artifacts dating back to the 12th century, including diamond-encrusted coronation thrones and extravagant Russian armor.

BOLSHOI THEATRE

Moscow’s oldest—and most famous—theater recently reopened after a complete renovation that took six years. Watching a ballet performance of a Russian classic, such as Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker, on the main stage is unforgettable.

TRETYAKOV GALLERY

Wander through the rooms of Old Tretyakov’s extraordinary collection of famous Russian icons, landscapes, and portraits housed in an early-20th-century building that feels more like a castle. The museum boasts one of the largest and most renowned collections of work from the prerevolutionary Russian realists known as the Wanderers.

GORKY PARK

After a recent renovation, this “Park of Culture” has once again become a very popular spot for Muscovites. The dilapidated Soviet buildings and Ferris wheel have been torn down and replaced with modern art galleries, cafes, and playgrounds. Young and old will find plenty to do here, from simply strolling around the vast green space to renting paddleboats, bicycles, or rollerblades. There are concerts and art shows in the summer, and snowboarding and ice skating in the winter.

LENIN MAUSOLEUM

If the imposing marble exterior of this Soviet-era iconic structure doesn’t intimate you, the soldiers standing guard inside might. The stern guards are there to watch over Vladimir Lenin’s embalmed body and ensure visitors maintain a respectful silence around the former leader of the Russian Revolution. Gigglers will be scolded. While admittedly morbid, the experience of seeing one of modern history’s most noteworthy figures is certainly a can’t-miss Moscow sight.

PUSHKIN MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS

Opened in 1912, the museum holds Moscow’s largest collection of European art. Broken up into several wings, it contains both rotating and permanent collections of fine art and archeological treasures from Central Asia to Europe. The private collections wing has some outstanding art collected over the years by prominent Russian collectors.



 
TOP EXPERIENCES: ST. PETERSBURG
 
 


CELEBRATE WHITE NIGHTS

May and Junes long daylight hours breathe festive energy into St. Petersburg after months of bitter cold.

During these days, the sun sets only long enough to leave a dim glow and St. Petersburg stays up all night, too.

These are the peak tourist weeks, and festivals and parties abound.

A fireworks show on the last night of the White Nights festival lights up the sky.

CRUISE ST. PETERSBURGS CANALS

Peter the Great intended for St. Petersburg to be one of the leading cities of Europe.

One of the best ways to see his Venice-like creation is via the waterways of the citys man-made canals.

Most cruises pass by the citys top attractions, while giving you time to pick up on the little details of the citys grand and ornate buildings and bridges.

Guided tours in English will lead you as you inch by the former residences of nobility, artists, and writers.

SOAK UP SOME SUN

St. Petersburg knows how to take advantage of the generous daylight granted to it in the short summer months.

Generations of expert sunbathers have perfected the art of the even tan by soaking in the sun along the sandy beach on the Neva just outside the walls of Peter and Paul Fortress.

But you wont find them flipping around on beach towels.

Locals will tell you that standing is the only way to get an even tan when you only have a few months of summer.

And small bikinis are the norm, so dont be surprised to see grandfathers catching rays in Speedos.

ATTEND WORLD-CLASS PERFORMANCES AT REASONABLE PRICES

For opera and ballet lovers, seeing a performance by the world-renowned Kirov Ballet and Opera companies is a must.

The companies, which are called the Mariinsky companies at home in Russia, perform in the imperially grand and sparkling Mariinsky Theatre.

The green and white theater, built in the mid-19th century, has been the cultural hub of Russia since tsarist times.

Tickets can be bought online, usually at half the price of one of their traveling performances.

GET CAUGHT ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE BRIDGE

Commerce on the Neva River is a prime source of revenue for St. Petersburg.

During the warmer months, from the end of April to November, the bridges roads are closed to traffic and the drawbridges are raised to let large ships pass through, starting at around 1:30 am. Night owls and pub crawlers who miss the cutoff get stuck on the other side until the bridges are lowered and they can head home.

Boat tours during the bridge openings offer a unique perspective on the process.
