Skip the line: Moscow in One Day Sightseeing Tour (Red Square, St. Basil's Cathedral, Kremlin, Armoury) (6 hours)

See all of the Russia capital’s top attractions with a guided day tour of Moscow, ideal for travellers short on time. Start with a walking tour of the city center, immerse yourself in the culture and architecture of the city as you explore the central sights of Moscow including the iconic St.Basil's. Head inside the stunning Kremlin to see its churches, monuments, Tzar Bell and Tzar Cannon, as well as the official museum - the Armory - home to ancient state regalia and world-famous collection of Faberge eggs.

The beautiful capital of the world’s largest country is a cradle of the Great Russian Empire and it for centuries has been the focal point of the word history's greatest events.

Start your day with a walking tour of central Moscow. Wander through Red Square -  a UNESCO World Heritage Site and hear of the protests that have taken place there. Admire the Manezhnaya square, Alexander Garden, then use Vasilievsky Descent to be close to St. Basil's Cathedral and many more. Stepping onto Red Square never fails to inspire. In old Russian "red" stood for the word „beautiful‟, and the square lives up to the original meaning of its word. The architectural marvels of the St. Basil's Cathedral and the Museum of History, the grandeur of the Kremlin and the Mausoleum are among the key impressions the Square has to offer.

Take in the beauty of the colourful onion domes of St Basil's Cathedral - one of the most recognisable buildings in the world and is an iconic symbol of Moscow. A true architectural wonder, the cathedral was commissioned by Ivan the Terrible in the 1500‟s. The building is made up of nine churches connected by a web of narrow corridors; each church is lavishly decorated with intricate frescoes! A common myth is that once the building was complete, Ivan had the architects blinded to be sure that they never build anything as beautiful again.

Next, visit the Moscow Kremlin. Discover the treasures that lie in wait for you behind the walls of Moscow‟s most famous landmark: the almighty Kremlin! Home to a myriad of the city‟s most exquisite cathedrals and monuments, as well as the official residence of President himself, the Kremlin remains a political landmark in Russia and is visited by thousands of tourists every year.

Explore the Armory Chamber, the official museum of the Kremlin. A worldwide known treasure house displaying an exquisite collection of more than 4000 unique Russian artefacts including the world famous Faberge egg collection and royal carriages which once transported the great tsars and their families. Built by the imperial architect Konstantin Ton, the museum has a collection that has been growing since 1508, including the imperial crown of Russia, the throne of Ivan the Terrible, and many more.
