Moscow

Moscow is one of the largest cities in the world. It is the capital of the Russian Federation.
One thing is certain about Moscow – it’s not like the rest of Russia at all. Don’t expect to find “pure Russian spirit” here. Moscow is more of a European city.
Moscow has a round structure: it was built around Kremlin first, then it expanded further in all directions. That is why ten years ago its borders coincided with the Moscow Circle Highway, its shape more or less resembling that of a circle.
Inside Moscow there is also a smaller circular road, which is called the Garden Circle. Most of the business offices are located inside this circle, most of the railway terminals are located close to this road.
If you come here just for a few days you will probably want to visit all the famous “tourist” spots. Moscow is a huge city, so it’s not possible to see everything if you have little time. In such case your itinerary should include Kremlin, Red Square, Arbat, Bolshoi Theatre, Tretyakovskaya Gallery, Gorky Park, and some other points of interest.
