Moscow is the capital of Russia and the economic, political and financial centre of the country. With a population of 12 million people and a growing economy the city entered the 21 st century as a symbol of the ‘new Russia’, a sophisticated urban capital with long-term plans for continued development. Founded in the 12 th century on the River Moskva Moscow has had a turbulent history that has shaped the city’s character today and fascinates visitors. The city’s historic centre is focused on the imposing Kremlin , and Red Square where visitors will find the familiar sight of St Basil’s Cathedral. The vivid colours and onion domes of St Basil’s are an image which, more than any other is synonymous with Russia. Here also Lenin’s embalmed remains are displayed ceremoniously to troops of tourists. Moscow is a vast sprawling city but visitors are also pleased to discover that leafy gardens such as Gorky Park offer oases of calm in the bustling centre of town.
For tourists Moscow offers a multitude of historic sights and as many charms as cosmopolitan cities such as London and Berlin. In Russia’s capital five-star landmark hotels provide traditional or contemporary accommodation, gourmet restaurants offer any conceivable type of cuisine and a young thriving arts scene permeates Moscow’s nightlife. As the capital of the ‘new Russia’ Moscow is quickly becoming one of Europe’s top luxury shopping destinations with the boutiques of international designers and high end jewellery stores lining its pedestrianised shopping streets. Moscow is bleak and beautiful, overwhelming and welcoming and constantly fascinating with an epic history and an unpredictable future.
