1. St. Petersburg
St. Petersburg, North-West Russia
The “City of the Tsars” has evaded much of the architectural purging that occurred under Stalinist rule, so the great imperial squares and monuments that line the streets of this city make it a beautiful place to visit. Numerous museums, cathedrals and theaters make the city a hub of cultural and historical significance.
2. State Hermitage
State Hermitage Museum and Winter Palace, St. Petersburg, North-West Russia
Once the residence of Tsars, the five buildings that make up the Hermitage house over 3,000,000 works of art.
3. Russian Museum
State Russian Museum, St. Petersburg, North-West Russia
One of the finest collections of Russian art in the world can be found also in the smaller State Russian Museum, in the elegant Mikhailovsky Palace.
4. Palace Square
Palace Square (Dvortsovaya Ploshchad), St. Petersburg, North-West Russia
The successor to Moscow’s great imperial squares, Palace Square is the site of numerous political struggles, including Bloody Sunday and the storming of the Winter Palace, that have shaped Russian history.
5. Moscow
Moscow, Central Russia
Russia’s capital city is the vibrant political and economic center of the country, and probably most vividly demonstrates the contrasts and tensions of the country’s rapid social change, with commercial centers standing alongside the remaining monuments to its recent communist history.
6. Red Square
Red Square (Krasnaya ploshchad), Moscow, Central Russia
Once a symbol of the stronghold of communist power, this famed square is now home to Russia’s largest department store standing face-to-face with Lenin’s Mausoleum.
7. Kremlin
Moscow Kremlin (Moskovsky Kreml), Moscow, Central Russia
Probably the most famous political landmark in Russia, this historical complex is home to cathedrals, political offices, the Armoury and the Patriarch’s Palace.
8. Lenin’s Mausoleum
Lenin's Mausoleum, Moscow, Central Russia
The final resting place of one of the most famous leaders in Russian history is open for public viewing, and stands as a testament to the social and political changes that the country has undergone over the last century.
9. Gorky Park
Gorky Park, Moscow, Central Russia
This park would be a great place to enjoy a fun time on the Ferris wheel or roller coaster, or to enjoy the open theatre, relaxing away from the bustle of the city.
10. Novodevichy Convent and Cemetery
Novodevichy (New Maiden) Convent and Cemetery, Moscow, Central Russia
This convent is famed for its political and aristocratic history as well as for being the final resting place of such famous people as Chekhov, Eisenstein, Gogol, Khrushchev and Prokofiev, among other famous artists and public figures.
11. Trans-Siberian Railway
Trans-Siberian Railway, Siberia, Russia
This six-day train ride from Moscow to Vladivostok offers views of the vast and breathtaking terrain of Siberia, from the dense forests to rows of steppes, to Siberia’s Lake Baikal.
12. Vladivostok
Vladivostok, Far East Russia
This city along Russia’s Pacific Coast is the crossroads to Northeast Asia and a major trade city. The city is also a good base for engaging in the ecotourism of Far East Russia.
13. Vladivostok Fortress
Vladivostok Fortress, Vladivostok, Far East Russia
Once one of the most impenetrable coastal fortresses in the world, the remaining batteries and fortifications of the Vladivostok Fortress can still be found throughout the region, near the base of the mountains and along the coast.
