The political, economic and – arguably – cultural capital of Russia thrills visitors with its majesty. Around every street corner the golden domes of some of its 600 churches glisten, and even the metro system, a celebration of the proletariat, dazzles with its grandeur.
Above ground historic Red Square, and Lenin’s Mausoleum, are reminders of the country's communist past, meanwhile the magnificent St Basil’s Cathedral, built by Ivan the Terrible, remains one of the world’s most iconic landmarks. At the Tretyakov Gallery awaits Moscow’s premier art collection – which includes the priceless Russian Icon Collection; at the Bolshoy Theatre ballerinas nimbly leap across the stage; and of course, there's Kremlin - a city within a city. It is still the seat of much political power and contains many of Russia’s greatest treasures: the Armoury is a museum of opulent treasures including fabulous gold coaches and the famous Faberge eggs. There's the magnificent cathedrals of St. Michael the Archangel, the Annunciation and the Assumption, as well as the Tsar Bell and the golden domes of Ivan the Great Bell Tower.
