Description:

Enjoy a full-day guided tour of charming Moscow. Start with a walking tour of the city before exploring the highlights of the underground with a tour of the famous Moscow Metro. After lunch, take a trip to the Moscow Kremlin to see its churches, monuments, and official museum, the Armory.

Your day begins at Red Square, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Take in the beauty of the colorful onion domes of St Basil's Cathedral and stop for that postcard snapshot. In the square, you also see the Lenin Mausoleum, the red walls of the Kremlin, and the Bolshoi Theater.

Next, descend underground to see Moscow's elaborately designed metro system. Carrying 7 million passengers a day, the Moscow Metro is one of the most extensive in the world; it is famous for the social-realist art that decorates many of its stations.

After a traditional lunch, visit the Moscow Kremlin, the official residence of the Russian president. Explore the Armory, the official museum of the Kremlin. 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 one of the world's largest collections of Fabergé eggs.
