RED SQUARE

Red Square has been the heart of Russia for centuries — a place where history lives and breathes. From the colorful domes of 16th-century St. Basil’s Cathedral to the stark lines of Lenin’s Mausoleum, every corner of the square tells a story. It’s one of the most iconic places in the world and a powerful symbol of Russia’s rich and complex past.

The Novodevichy Convent

The Novodevichy Convent — also known as the New Maidens Convent — is one of Moscow’s most iconic landmarks and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Closely tied to Russia’s royal and religious history, it once served as a residence for noblewomen, a place of worship, and later a museum. With stunning architecture, ornate interiors, and a rich collection of art and relics, it offers a deep dive into Russia’s cultural legacy.

The Izmailovo Kremlin and Market

Discover the Izmailovo Kremlin and Market — a one-of-a-kind destination where Russian history and culture come to life. Just outside the city center, this neo-historic complex, built in 1998–2007 near the old royal estate, features wooden architecture in the 16th–17th century style and includes nine museums and exhibition spaces. Next to it lies the vibrant Izmaylovo Market, where you can shop for hand-painted matryoshka dolls, Khokhloma tableware, amber jewelry, Soviet-era badges, and even rare treasures like mammoth tusks or KGB flasks. It’s a colorful blend of tradition, curiosity, and time-travel shopping — all in one place.

The State Tretyakov Gallery

A must-visit for anyone curious about Russian culture, the Tretyakov Gallery unveils the depth and beauty of Russian art long before the modern masters. With 62 rooms and over 100,000 works, it traces the evolution of Russian painting from ancient icons to the masterpieces that shaped the country's artistic legacy.

The “Lenin”

The “Lenin” — the world’s first nuclear-powered icebreaker. For 30 years it navigated Arctic waters, covering over 654,000 nautical miles and guiding 3,740 ships. Now a museum ship in Murmansk, it stands as a symbol of polar exploration. Step aboard to explore its decks, engine rooms, and crew quarters, and feel the spirit of a true Arctic pioneer.

The Saami village

The Saami village “Sam-Syyt,” just outside Murmansk, invites you into the world of the indigenous people of the Far North. Step inside traditional chum tents, experience the rhythm of nomadic life, and listen to captivating legends and ancient tales passed down through generations. It’s a journey into a culture as timeless as the Arctic itself.

The polar lights

The polar lights — the Northern Lights (aurora borealis), the Southern Lights (aurora australis), and the aurora (aurora) — are an atmospheric optical phenomenon, a luminescence of the upper layers of a planet’s atmosphere caused by the interaction of the planet’s magnetosphere with charged particles from the solar wind. Murmansk is a city where the night sky comes alive. From August to April, the Northern Lights paint the Arctic in breathtaking colors.

PETER AND PAUL FORTRESS

On Zayachy Island, along the banks of the Neva, stands the Peter and Paul Fortress — the very place where St. Petersburg began in 1703. At its heart is the majestic cathedral with a golden spire, the burial site of the Romanov dynasty. History echoes through these walls, once a prison for famous names, and lives on in every stone.

THE STATE HERMITAGE MUSEUM

The State Hermitage Museum is one of the world’s greatest art museums and the crown jewel of St. Petersburg. Founded by Catherine the Great in 1764, it now holds over 2.7 million treasures — from ancient Egyptian artifacts to masterpieces by Da Vinci, Rembrandt, Monet, Van Gogh, and Matisse. Every hall is a journey through centuries of world art and Russian history, all inside a palace of breathtaking beauty.

ST. ISAAC'S CATHEDRAL

St. Isaac’s Cathedral is the grandest and most opulent church in St. Petersburg, crowned with a golden dome that glows above the city skyline. Its breathtaking interior features malachite and lapis lazuli columns, intricate mosaics, and over 100 types of stone. A masterpiece of architecture and art — it’s a must-see symbol of Russia’s imperial glory.

Catherine Palace

Catherine Palace in Pushkin is a true gem of Russian baroque — grand, gilded, and unforgettable. Inside awaits the famous Amber Room, a dazzling masterpiece once called the “Eighth Wonder of the World.” Every hall, every detail here breathes history, splendor, and the legacy of the Romanovs.

The Yusupov Palace

The Yusupov Palace on the Moika River is one of the few places in St. Petersburg where the aristocratic life of the past truly comes alive. Lavish interiors, a unique 18th-century private theatre, and authentic princely chambers preserve the spirit of a bygone era. Each hall here feels like a page from the noble history of Russia.
