Moscow
Moscow is the New York of Russia, the city that never sleeps but where old Russia is still evident. The many churches with their onion-shaped towers, old buildings and palaces and, of course, Red Square and the Kremlin, give the city centre a unique character. Moscow is both familiar and exotic—fascinating every visitor with its charm.
