Included is a visit to the Armoury where you can find the largest collection of Fabergé eggs in the world and 9 halls of unique treasures and thousands of exhibits. Explore Russia’s most recognizable landmark - the Red Square which is usually tourists first stop in Moscow. It evokes an incredible sense of import to stroll across a place where so much of Russian history unfolded. The Red Square has always been used for various public ceremonies and proclamations, and occasionally as the site of coronation for Russia's czars. The square has been gradually built up since that point and has been used for official ceremonies by all Russian governments since it was established. Today it's hard to think of a place that is more beloved of Muscovites and visitors to the city.

Then proceed to explore Moscow’s famous Metro System, which the most beautiful and second most efficient subway system in the world, where stations were built to display the beauty of Russia and to evoke pride in native Muscovites. In the evening, after the tour day is over you can either go back to your hotel or visit the colourful Arbat district where you can enjoy performers, market stalls and various eateries.

Start your second day in Moscow with having a comprehensive city sightseeing tour with photo stops, viewing the famous landmarks and places to which you may return at your leisure. You’ll see the Moscow highlights - Cathedral of Christ the Savior – Russia’s main Orthodox church, New Maiden’s Convent (exterior), Sparrow Hills, Victory Park, New Arbat Street, Stalin’s Sky Scrapers, White House, Moscow Film Studio, the Ministry of Defense, the State Library, and Manezh Square, Bolshoi Theatre - the world-famous theatre for ballet and opera, the former KGB headquarters etc. In the afternoon be ready to see the magnificent collection of paintings of Russian and foreign artists at the world-famous Tretyakov Art Gallery.
