Summary

In the morning, your guide greets you at your Moscow accommodation and provides a historical overview of the Russian capital. Your first stop is Red Square (Krasnaya Ploschad), which you’ll enter through Resurrection Gate before feasting your eyes on Kazan’s Cathedral and St. Basil’s Cathedral, both crowned by a colorful confection of onion domes. See, too, GUM, the 123-year-old department store and hear about the terrible fate of architect Postnik Yakovlev, blinded by Ivan the Terrible to prevent the duplication of visual beauty.  Then, you’ll make the short journey to the Kremlin by foot. Absrob stunning city views from the Ivan the Great Belltower, once Russia’s highest building, and marvel at the ornate designs of the Assumption Cathedral, the Archangel’s Cathedral, and the Annunciation Cathedral. Your tour concludes at the Armory, a lofty museum home to Russian, European, and Eastern weapons and jewellery spanning the 5th and 20th centuries.
