Colourful and gold-domed cathedrals such as the Dormition Cathedral punctuate the Moscow skyline. In Red Square you’ll find St. Basil’s Cathedral which is like no other you’ll have ever seen with its multi-coloured façade. 

Moscow is a great place to go shopping as well as sightseeing with many malls and boutiques showcasing fashion to suit a wide range of tastes and budgets. After a busy day finding new outfits, you’ll be ready for a relaxing meal. From blini to borscht and pelmeni (boiled dumplings) to pirozhki (small pies often served as street food), the cuisine in Russia is tantalising and tasty. 

Moscow is a sprawling city, so having a clear itinerary set out before you go makes sense. It has an eventful history, but hasn’t stood still. There’s a modern Moscow that’s emerged in recent times to give holiday makers a glimpse into both sides of its story.
