Destination CitiesDestination Cities: Moscow towers over history; for almost a millennium, it has been a centre of spiritual and political power. The modern Moscow is an architectural gallery of constructivism and futurism in building: Red Square, St. Basil's Church and the Kremlin (home of the Bolshoi) should be seen. The subway is classy, decked out in chandeliers and marble. St. Petersburg is the city Peter the Great designed to be his "western window," the most European city in the nation. Palaces and boulevards are France as done by Russians, with the Neva River playing the part the Seine does in Paris. Novgorod just south of St Petersburg was flattened by Ivan the Terrible and taken by the Nazis in World War II, but still boasts lovely churches and historical sites. Vladivostok, the country's most easterly city, sits on the shores of the Sea of Japan five time zones from Moscow, with the Bering Strait separated from Alaska a further two time zones along!

Points of InterestPoints of Interest: So many cultures, so much history! You can take in the reindeer races in late March at the Festival of the North in Murmansk, go on to the Ussuri Nature Reserve near Vladivostok, with its tigers and the rare Amur leopard as well as hundreds of bird species, or sun yourself on the shores of the Black Sea at Odessa, in the same latitude as central France.
