Peter the Great was a man with a vision. He was determined to show the world that Russia was not a backward nation rooted in tradition but one that was modern and forward thinking, looking to the West, not the East for its inspiration and ideals. How better to do this than to build a new city on the Baltic Sea? Today, the legacy of his ambitions and achievements is displayed in abundance. Monumental buildings of state, great churches and cathedrals, ornate theatres, legendary art collections, all add up to create one of the most rewarding experiences for modern day visitors.
Our Art, Music & Literature in Moscow tour runs directly after our October St Petersburg, so why not book both for a comprehensive insight into Russian culture. Price from £4,924 for 11 nights (single supplment £796).
