The capital of Russia and the political, economic, scientific and cultural centre of the country. Being one of the most northern megalopolises in the world, it still enjoys a moderate climate. It is a huge city in which live 12 million people.
Since it was founded in 1147, Moscow, the heart of all Russia, has been intimately linked to the history and destiny of the Russian state, from which it took the lead after triumphing over the Mongols. Ravaged several times, it has always reborn from its ashes, offering the visitor the charm of a heterogeneous city whose eagerness to live surprises. This is where the iconic symbols of Russia stands, the Red Square and the Kremlin.
It can be said that it is an eclectic city, where different eras intermingle. The impressive contours of the Stalinist towers (mid-20th century) and the skyscrapers of Moskva City contrast with the quiet streets of the ancient Moscow, the wide avenues and parks.
In the last decade Moscow has undergone major changes. Those who visited the city five or six years ago were surprised by the drastic positive changes. Many historical sites such as the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour, the Gates of the Resurrection and the Church of Our Lady of Kazan on Red Square were completely rebuilt.
The second largest city in Russia has more to offer than just the Hermitage Museum and the Mariinsky Theater. It is one of the biggest cultural centers in the world, a city with an exceptionally rich history, traditions and a promising future.
Almost all basic trends in the world and Russian architecture of the 18th-20th centuries are found in Saint Petersburg. The city has played a vital role in both Russian and European history. Founded by Peter the Great in 1703, it was the capital of the Russian Empire for two centuries.
The city is usually called « the Venice of the North » or « Russia’s Window on the West ». Having quite a rich history, today it is a large industrial, transport, scientific and cultural centre of Russia with a population of 5 million people.
Saint Petersburg is one of the largest centers of world tourism. It is ranked alongside Paris and Rome as one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
This tour is available in Spanish only.
