Il programma nel dettaglio

Take this tour of the best of Moscow’s landmarks new and old, and be wowed with an in depth visit to the magnificent metro system.

Tour the historic centre and modern parts of the city and get a great introduction to the history of this impressive empire starting from the 16th century when the Russian state was constituted, until the present, encompassing on the way the Soviet period. Each building in Moscow holds the spirit of one age or another. Each church unveils to the visitor the mysteries of the Russian soul.

Among the sights we visit is the iconic Red Square, the pulsating heart of Russia whose roads lead off like arteries to connect the rest of the country to Moscow. At the end of the square we catch a glimpse of the fairytale like St. Basil's Cathedral with its colourful onion shaped domes. Spot the famous department store GUM which witnessed scenes of immense queues during the Soviet era. Take in the curiously diminutive mausoleum to Lenin, and the impressive Cathedral of Christ the Saviour, then head up to the observation point on Sparrow Hills in front of the State University building to admire the cityscape below.

The highlight of the tour is Moscow’s superb metro, unlike any other in the world. Its resplendent stations will not fail to amaze. Dating back to the 1930s many of the 188 stations offer the visitor glamorous palaces of marble and granite decorated with superb frescoes and mosaics. An unforgettable underground world!
