Moscow is Europe's fastest-growing and third largest city. Being the 'city of contrasts' is exactly what makes Moscow such a fascinating place. The city has lived through some awful times of civil repressions, foreign invasion and major wars. It has witnessed revolutions and has seen different ideologies come and go. No wonder its rich history spanning over 850 years has been studied and researched in many countries. On par with St. Petersburg Moscow is the epicenter of Russia's cultural heritage. Home to some of the most influential people in world literature and music such as Tolstoy and Tchaikovsky, Moscow has many cultural treasures to experience. During the cold war years it had an unfair reputation as a grey and gloomy city. This handful of tours will definitely prove the contrary!
