|  | Very near Red Square, the area around Tverskaya Street encompasses Moscow's theatre district. It is a vibrant neighborhood where the names of Russia's greatest cultural luminaries live on.
The Bolshoi
Home of one of the world's most renowned ballet troupes, the "big theatre" is also one of Moscow's most visited monuments. Its colonnaded façade topped by a bronze quadriga is commensurate with its prestige.
Tverskaya Street
The stores along this well-known street just make you want to shop. Located in an old mansion, Yeliseyev's Emporium, where Pushkin was a customer, is a pure delight. |

| | The Kremlin
Allow three days to visit the official residence of the Russian president! But, if you're short of time, two main priorities should be the State Armory, home to a staggering collection of imperial treasures, and Assumption Cathedral, whose walls are entirely covered in frescoes.
Red Square
Venue for all official parades and ceremonies, this enormous, 500 meter-long square is a magnet. The splendid onion-domed St. Basil's Cathedral will take your breath away. Inside, see the magnificent baroque iconostasis. |
