Moscow, The Heart of Russia
As the capital city, Moscow is a vibrant metropolis that blends the old with the new. Imagine strolling through Red Square, standing in awe of the iconic St. Basil's Cathedral with its colourful onion domes. The imposing Kremlin walls tell stories of Russia's rich history, and the Bolshoi Theatre offers a taste of Russian culture with world-renowned ballet and opera performances. Don't miss Gorky Park, perfect for a stroll, with its beautiful gardens, outdoor cafes, and cultural events.
St. Petersburg, The Cultural Capital
Often referred to as the "Venice of the North," St. Petersburg is a city of stunning architecture, museums, and canals. The Hermitage Museum, one of the largest and oldest museums in the world, houses a vast collection of art and historical artefacts in the magnificent Winter Palace. Outside the city, the grand Peterhof Palace, also known as the "Russian Versailles," boasts beautifully landscaped gardens and fountains. A walk down Nevsky Prospect, the city's main thoroughfare, reveals a treasure trove of shops, cafes, and historic buildings.
Kazan, Where East Meets West
Kazan, the capital of the Republic of Tatarstan, is a city where Russian and Tatar cultures converge, offering a unique and enriching experience. The Kazan Kremlin, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is home to the stunning Kul Sharif Mosque and the historic Annunciation Cathedral. Bauman Street, the heart of Kazan, is always bustling with activity, filled with shops, restaurants, and street performers. Don't miss the Temple of All Religions, an architectural complex symbolizing religious unity with elements from various religious structures around the world.
Tips for Travelers
Travelling to Russia is easier than you might think, especially with the new direct flights from Oman. However, there are a few things to keep in mind. Check the visa requirements well in advance of your trip, as Russia has specific entry requirements. While major cities like Moscow and St. Petersburg have English-speaking locals, learning a few basic Russian phrases can be very helpful. And remember, the currency in Russia is the Ruble, so it's a good idea to carry some cash, especially when visiting smaller towns or rural areas.
