About Moscow
Moscow sits at the heart of Russia — a city of sweeping contrasts, where golden onion domes catch the winter light above ancient stone walls, and the rumble of the Metro carries passengers beneath broad, mural-lined boulevards. Red Square opens like a vast outdoor theater, flanked by the Kremlin's crenellated ramparts on one side and the candy-stripe towers of Saint Basil's Cathedral on the other. In the depths of a Russian winter, snow softens every rooftop and courtyard, and the city wraps itself in fur, firelight, and the distant sound of bells.
