Day 1: Arrival in Moscow

Your driver will meet you at the airport and take you to the hotel. This evening is reserved for you to rest in preparation for your eventful week ahead, but you can also explore the area around the hotel on your own.

Day 2: The Kremlin and the Red Square

You will begin today with a panoramic city tour and proceed to the very center of Moscow, the Red Square. "Red Square" is translated from Krasnaya Ploshad, which means Beautiful Square - one moment in this area, and you will know why. You will get to venture inside the Kremlin, an ancient citadel filled with historic marvels and cultural treasures. Every building here is a part of Russian history.

Day 3: The Moscow Subway and Tretyakov Gallery

One of the most interesting sights in Moscow is located deep beneath the surface. On Stalin’s order, the Moscow Subway was built to display the advantages of socialism. Today the Soviet Union is gone, but the beautiful underground city is still active and carries millions of passengers each day. You will go on a quick subway ride for a true taste of Moscow living before heading to the best art gallery in the city, the Tretyakov Picture Gallery.

The Moscow Subway was constructed not only to streamline the city's transportation, but also to celebrate the accomplishments of the Soviets. The entire subway is a work of socialist realism, making passengers feel as though they are entering various underground palaces, not merely riding the subway to work. On top of immense cultural value, Moscow's subway is a highly efficient transportation system that carries three million passengers daily and spans the entire city in a star-like fashion. Interestingly, the subway can also serve as a nuclear shelter in case of war.

The Tretyakov Picture Gallery is Moscow's most famous collection of art and one of the world's top galleries. It began as the private collection of a wealthy Muscovite merchant, Tretyakov, who lived in the 19th century and donated his collection to the city.
