Day 2 Moscow
Today you start exploring Moscow with a guided city walk to get a good introduction to the Russian capital.It is very nice to explore the city centre while walking. You will pass the Red Square, St. Basil's Cathedral, GUM department store, Lenin's mausoleum, Bolshoi theatre, Tverskaya street).
Of course we recommend a visit to the kremlin, where the heart of power in Russia lies. Many cities in Russia have a kremlin, a fortified settlement where both the rulers and the religious leaders are based. The kremlin in Moscow is of course the most famous kremlin in Russia and a must-see during your visit to Moscow. (note; there are different tickets available to visit the kremlin, depending on how many sites inside you prefer to see). The visit to the kremlin itself is not included in the tour!
Day 3 Moscow
A day to explore Moscow by yourself. Recommended visits are the Tretyakov gallery with its world famous collection of icons, or the Novodevich monastery, one of the most famous in Russia.Of course you should make a trip by metro, one of the highlights of a visit to Moscow. Many stations are sights in themselves and will take you back to the communist past. You can also do endless shopping in Moscow, or enjoy a delicious meal in one of the many top restaurants. Or just stroll down the street and let Russian city life affect you.
