Kremlin
The Kremlin, is a fortified complex at the heart of
Moscow, overlooking the Moskva River to the
south, Saint Basil's Cathedral and Red Square to the
east, and the Alexander Garden to the west. It is
the best known of the kremlins (Russian citadels)

enclosing Kremlin Wall with Kremlin towers. The
complex serves as the official residence of the
President of the Russian Federation.

Red square
The name Red Square does not originate from the pigment of the surrounding bricks (which, in
fact, were whitewashed at certain times in history) nor from the link between the color red and
communism. Rather, the name came about because the Russian word (krasnaya), which now
means "red," originally meant "beautiful".
Saint Basil's Cathedral
The building is shaped as a flame of a bonfire

rising into the sky,[11] a design that has no
analogues in Russian architecture. Dmitry
Shvidkovsky, in his book Russian Architecture and
the West, states that "it is like no other Russian
building. Nothing similar can be found in the
entire millennium of Byzantine tradition from the
fifth to fifteenth century.
The Cathedral of Christ the Saviour
The Cathedral of Christ the Saviour is a cathedral in

Moscow, Russia, on the northern bank of the Moskva
River, a few blocks southwest of the Kremlin. With an
overall height of 103 metres, it is the tallest Orthodox
Christian church in the world.
Tretyakov gallery (ticket fees optiona)

The State Tretyakov Gallery
is an art gallery in Moscow, Russia, the
foremost depository of Russian fine art in the
world.
The gallery's history starts in 1856 when the
Moscow
merchant
Pavel
Mikhailovich
Tretyakov acquired works by Russian artists of
his day with the aim of creating a collection,
which might later grow into a museum of
national art. In 1892, Tretyakov presented his
already famous collection of approximately
2,000 works (1,362 paintings, 526 drawings,
and 9 sculptures) to the Russian nation.
Pushkin state museum of fine arts (ticket fees optiona)
The Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts

(Russian:
. .. ) is the largest
museum of European art in Moscow, The
International musical festival Svyatoslav
Richter's December nights has been held in
the Pushkin museum since 1981.
Bolshoi theatre ( ticket fee optional)
The Bolshoi Theatre is a historic theatre

in Moscow, Russia, designed by architect
Joseph Bov, which holds performances
of ballet and opera. The theatre's
original name was the Imperial Bolshoi
Theatre of Moscow.
Moscow metro
The Moscow Metro is a rapid transit system serving
Moscow, Russia and the neighbouring Moscow Oblast
towns of Krasnogorsk and Reutov. Opened in 1935
with one 11-kilometre (6.8 mi) line and 13 stations, it
was the first underground railway system in the Soviet
Union.
Seven sisters (Stalinist architecture)

The Seven Sisters are a group of seven skyscrapers in
Moscow designed in the Stalinist style. The term
"Seven Sisters" is neither used nor understood by the
local population; Muscovites call them Vysotki or
Stalinskie Vysotki, meaning " high-rises".
Arbat street
The Arbat, is a pedestrian street about one kilometer
long in the historical centre of Moscow. The Arbat has
existed since at least the 15th century, thus laying
claim to being one of the oldest surviving streets of
the Russian capital. It forms the heart of the Arbat
District of Moscow. Originally the street formed part
of an important trade route and was home to a large
number of craftsmen.
State history museum ( ticket fee optional)
Its exhibitions range from relics of

prehistoric tribes that lived on the
territory of present-day Russia,
through
priceless
artworks
acquired by members of the
Romanov dynasty. The total
number of objects in the
museum's collection comes to
millions. The place where the
museum now stands was formerly
occupied by the Principal
Medicine Store, built by order of
Peter the Great in the Moscow
baroque style. Several rooms in that building housed royal collections of antiquities. Other
rooms were occupied by the Moscow University, founded by Mikhail Lomonosov in 1755.
Luxury Shopping mall (Gum and Tsum)
Gorky park (Europe biggest park)

Gorky Central Park of Culture and Leisure is
a central park in Moscow, named after
Maxim Gorky. Gorky Park was opened in
1928. It is located at Krymsky Val and
situated just across the Moskva River from
Park Kultury Metro Station. The Park was
planned by Konstantin Melnikov, a worldfamous Soviet avant-garde and constructivist
architect. Gorky Park was created by the
amalgamation of the extensive gardens of
the old Golitsyn Hospital and the Neskuchny Palace and covers an area of 300 acres (120 ha)
along the Moscow river.
Kolomenskoye
Kolomenskoye village was first mentioned in the testament of Ivan Kalita (1339). As time went
by, the village was developed as a favourite country estate of grand princes of Muscovy. The
earliest existing structure is the exceptional Ascension church (1532), built in white stone to
commemorate the long-awaited birth of an heir to the throne, the future Ivan the Terrible.
Being the first stone church of tent-like variety, the uncanonical "White Column" (as it is
sometimes referred to) marked a stunning break from the Byzantine tradition.
Victory Park and Triumphal gate

Victory Park was only completed in the mid-nineties, and is something of a last gasp for the
Soviet tradition of monumental triumphal art. Located on and around the Poklonnaya Gora - the
hill where Napoleon waited in vain to be given the keys to the city when his troops were
surrounding Moscow in 1812 - the park is set in an area steeped in Russian military history.
Victory Park was initially laid out over an area of 98 hectares in 1961.
Night life (Clubs and Parties)
Russian Circus Optional

The Russian Circus rose to
world acclaim during the
Soviet period, when acts from
many Russian circuses united
to tour the United States
under the title, The Moscow
Circus.[3] During this time, the
circus, which was already
important became an even
more prominent piece of
culture, and a point of pride.[1]
Russian
Circus
traditions
include clowning, juggling,
acrobatics, contortion, and
animal acts (especially bear
acts, such as bears who juggle
with their feet).
