Onion domes, imperial palaces, world-class ballet, and the soul of Russia
Russia's two great capitals tell a story of tsars, revolution, and rebirth. Moscow overwhelms with its scale — the Kremlin's red walls, St. Basil's candy-colored domes, and metro stations that look like underground palaces. St. Petersburg enchants with European elegance — the Hermitage (one of the world's greatest museums), golden Peterhof fountains, and the romance of the White Nights. This 9-day journey captures Russia's imperial grandeur and artistic soul.
From the Kremlin's gold domes to the Winter Palace's 1,500 rooms, from Peterhof's 150 fountains to Catherine Palace's Amber Room — Russia's imperial legacy is on a scale that dwarfs other European destinations.
The Hermitage holds 3 million artworks — you could spend years here. And seeing ballet at the Bolshoi in Moscow or the Mariinsky in St. Petersburg is checking off the ultimate cultural bucket list item.
The Moscow Metro isn't transportation — it's an art gallery 80 meters underground. Each station is a different architectural masterpiece with marble, chandeliers, and mosaics. Free art with every ride.
