Today we arrive in the captivating Russian capital, where we
stay at the 4-Star Hotel InterContinental. If you select the fly
option for this tour, this is where you will meet the rest of your
group.
On Day 6 we begin our exploration with a
panoramic city tour. Some of the most famous sights in Russia can
be found in Moscow, including the beautiful Saint Basil's
Cathedral. Enjoy the beautiful and intricate brickwork of the
structure, whilst marvelling at the awe-inspiring sight of the
multicoloured 'onion' domes that characterise the building. The
building itself stands on Red Square, where you can also find
Lenin's Mausoleum, where rests the body of the communist
leader.
We also see the Bolshoi Theatre and Tretyakov Gallery, before
transferring by coach to the atmospheric Novodevitchy cemetery for
an afternoon visit. This evening, we enjoy a magnificent 'City
Lights' tour, where we see the beautifully illuminated sights of
Moscow as darkness falls.
On Day 7, we visit the Kremlin, a potent symbol
of two mighty Imperial cultures. This stunning building overlooks
the Moskva River. After some free time, we join the Tsar's Gold
Private Train to embark on our incredible journey to Beijing.
