Moscow Russian Federation

Moscow, the political, historical, and economic hub of Russia, showcases the country's most stark contrasts. This city of 10 million people seamlessly blends the old with the new. Today, the Russian capital is a stunning metropolis that never ceases to astonish with its sheer magnificence. To get a closer look at the city's main attractions, which symbolize its glorious and tumultuous past, take the metro from one of the ornate stations. Traces of the Soviet state are scattered throughout the city. Monuments commemorate fallen heroes and triumphant battles, while museums strive to interpret and integrate the past. Visit the whimsical Art Muzeon to see Lenin and Stalin – off their pedestals. Experience the Socialist Realist fantasy at VDNKh. Delve into the depths of the Soviet system at the Bunker-42 Cold War Museum. And remember the millions who suffered at the Gulag History Museum. Today, numerous fun and clever retro clubs and cafes offer guests a taste of the Soviet experience. The Kremlin and Red Square, the city's (and arguably, the country's) founding site, remain at the heart of Moscow – historically, geographically, and spiritually. Among the city's most iconic sights are the almost cartoon-like onion domes of St Basil’s Cathedral that tower over Red Square, UNESCO gems built between the 14th and 17th centuries. Modern-day Moscow defies its grey Soviet past and has cultivated a hedonistic atmosphere and the sense that it is once again a place of great happenings. Shopping for designer labels at exorbitantly priced boutiques has become a national pastime, but Moscow is also considered one of the world's most culturally sophisticated capitals, boasting world-class institutions like the Bolshoi Theatre, the Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatory, and the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts. The city also takes pride in its great writers, playwrights, composers, choreographers, and filmmakers. With its glitz, history, and unabashed hedonism, Moscow is truly captivating.
