Dear Traveler, First let me introduce you to the Russian capital. Moscow is an extraordinary city where modern building up and wide avenues harmonize with historical monuments and winding lanes. It is a huge metropolis, one of the biggest cities in the world, which counts more than 10 million people. During our tour round Moscow we will visit Red Square with St. Basil Cathedral, Lenin Mausoleum and GUM, we will visit the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour - one that had been blown up by Stalin and restored 5 years ago; then we will drive through the historical centre to Novodevichiy Convent - one of the most splendid places in the capital.
We will pass all that is interesting in Moscow - from White House to the Kremlin, from Triumphal Arch to the Victory park, from ancient mansions to modern casinos: Probably, you have already heard about the mysterious transport rings which make Moscow look like the planet Saturn. During our tour you will have a possibility to drive along some of them!
If you are interested in souvenirs, we can drive to a specialized shop situated in the building where Peter the Great's father was born - there you can buy high-quality handicrafts. Finally you will enjoy the panoramic view of Moscow from its highest point.
You will also learn:- how a cockroach participated in the invention of buns with raisin;- why St Basil could feel safe telling Ivan the Terrible everything he thought about him;- how soviet people bought a season ticket to Red Square;- why Napoleon first wanted to take St Basil Cathedral to Paris, but then decided to blow it up;- how many of 600 churches survived after Stalin reign;- who is the real father of Ivan the Terrible;- how Devil street became that of Holy Virgin;- why ninety-metre Peter the Great stands in the clothes of Columbus- how much it will cost you to find tile matching your eyes;- and many other things! For your convenience we can rent a conditioned business-class car with
English-speaking driver.
