Top 7 Moscow
Red Square
This is the most important square not only in Moscow, but in the whole country. It is the main sight of Russia, its calling card, a central symbolic and somewhat mystical place, whose turns of fate are inextricably linked with the ups and downs of Russian history. The ensemble of the square is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
Novodevichy Cemetery
This is the most important necropolis for both Moscow and the whole country. We recommend this guided tour to Novodevichy Cemetery to review the lives of the greatest people who have ever lived in Russia.
VDNKh – Back in USSR
This is a tour to the Park of the Soviet Dream – a springboard of pride in front of the entire world, whose entrance is symbolically graced by the Worker and Kolkhoz Woman sculpture that won the Grand Prix at the International Exhibition in Paris in 1937.
Kolomenskoye Village and Park
This park – its history and outskirts – is now part of the city. This remarkable architectural ensemble and the Church of the Ascension (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) carry us back to the Middle Ages. An excursion to Kolomenskoye is especially revitalizing after a walk through Zamoskvorechye District and the Tretyakov Gallery.
Novodevichy Convent guided tour
Moscow’s most famous monastery is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and is in every guidebook. It is, arguably, the most popular sight in Moscow after the Kremlin and the Moscow Metro. Nonetheless, we try to give this tour in a nonstandard fashion: there are quite a few corners tucked away, hidden from group tours.
The guided tour to Novodevichy (New Maiden) Convent can be given in English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese and other languages.
Sparrow Hills and its observation platform
This is a classic place to take in a panoramic view of Moscow, both during the day and at night. It is a must-see during our Moscow sightseeing tour.
Arbat street
One of the first pedestrian streets in Moscow, it saw Pushkin, Bunin, and Tolstoy in the flesh. It is the meeting place of all architectural styles in Moscow. And, no less important, there are the wonderful historic alleys and courtyards hidden from passers-by through small arches.
Moscow Metro
The Moscow Metro is a must-see as a unique facility in terms of its complexity – a network of underground palaces that were both “cathedrals” and “train stations” for Soviet residents.
