Visit Central

Russia's Central region is an area of breathtaking cultural and historic attractions. Home to Moscow, the country's capital, it is a popular destination for both tourists and locals alike. Tourists can explore the Kremlin Palace, one of the most iconic buildings in Russia and witness its grandeur firsthand. Also within Moscow, visitors can wander through the Red Square with its many churches, monuments and museums. For a different kind of experience, head to Saint Petersburg where you can explore the world-famous Hermitage Museum or take a boat ride along its canals for beautiful views of this elegant city. An interesting historical fact about this region is that in 1703 Peter I declared St Petersburg as Russia's new capital in place of Moscow - a decision which held until 1918 when Lenin shifted it back again!
