Your starting point
Start with the cultural purpose, then the dates
Begin with the collections, architecture or history you want to understand. Russia is vast, so we focus the trip on a clear region and build a realistic transport plan around it.
Suggested lengths are starting points for a conversation. Your final route depends on your dates, interests and availability.
Moscow: understand the Kremlin and Red Square
UNESCO’s heritage record explains the relationship between the Kremlin, religious buildings and Red Square. It is a good introduction to the architectural setting and its historical significance. We’ll plan visits to the buildings you most want to see. [1]
Collections: choose the works that matter
If art or a museum collection is the main interest, tell us the institution and the works or subjects you want to explore. We plan the visit around its current programme for your dates.
A broader route: link the cities you choose
Tell us the cities you have in mind, and we’ll plan how they connect using the current timetables for your dates. We also talk you through practical details such as payment arrangements.
