What's this trip about?

    The Kremlin, St Basils, the finest ballet, the Winter Palace, Chekov, Tolstoy, Stravinsky, Catherine the Great and Tchaikovsky. There are many facets to Russia, so undeniably influential and tantalisingly fascinating. Moscow and St Petersburg have always remained pivotal to Eastern Europe’s culture and unsurprisingly harbour some of the world’s most influential history, finest architecture, most stunning art and artefact collections, and thus almost always feature on today’s travellers’ wish lists of ‘must see’ destinations.
