Our tour begins with a visit to Novodevichy Cemetery, where the grave of our famous poet Nazım Hikmet is located. We will also see the graves of other important figures in Russian history. Then comes the Metro tour; beyond being a practical way to get around the city, it is a unique experience that offers a glimpse into the heart of Russian history and culture. Opened in 1935, the metro has since become one of the largest and busiest metro systems in the world with 268 stations spread across the city. It serves millions of passengers every day and is Europe’s busiest metro system. What makes the Moscow Metro truly unique is the architectural beauty of many of its central stations. Riding the metro not only quickly gets you away from Moscow’s famous traffic but also offers a chance to admire the city’s architectural heritage, with each station telling its own historical story. Our tour continues with Arbat Street, one of Moscow’s most historically important and enchanting streets. Walking along its cobblestone paths, you do not only move through a physical space, but also step through layers of Russian history and culture. With its vibrant atmosphere and history dating back to the 19th century, the street has long been a center for artists, writers, and musicians. Charming street cafés, unique shops, and street performers contribute to its bohemian atmosphere, creating a space where past and present coexist seamlessly. You will also have shopping opportunities on historic Arbat Street. After the tour, free time. In the afternoon, our first stop is Red Square. The name “Red Square” comes from the Russian word “krasnaya,” which historically means both “red” and “beautiful.” While today “krasnaya” is mostly associated with the color red, in older times it also meant beautiful or splendid. Therefore, the square’s name reflects both its striking appearance and its importance as a symbol of Russian heritage. After our walk in Red Square, we visit the Kremlin; not only the largest active fortress in Europe, but also one of the strongest symbols of Russian history and authority. Originally built to protect the citizens of Moscow, the word “Kremlin” means “fortress within the city,” which is a fitting description for its imposing walls and strategic location. Over the centuries, as Russia’s power grew, the Moscow Kremlin became the center of political, religious, and cultural life in the country. Today, the Kremlin is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and remains one of Russia’s most iconic landmarks. You will feel the Kremlin’s rich history up close. After the tour, return to our hotel and free time. Overnight at the hotel.
