As one of the largest countries on Earth, Russia is also one of the most diverse, ranging from European cultures in St Petersburg, Middle Eastern cultures bordering countries such as Georgia and Azerbaijan, and Far Eastern cultures, with border countries such as Mongolia and China.

This vast distance offers a huge wealth of both natural beauty as well as cultural distinctions, from icy tundra to sun-kissed beaches, dense silver birch and fir forests to deep and mysterious lakes, snow-capped mountains and swaying grasslands to the world famous steppes.

With so much variety, it is impossible to fit it all into just one trip, however, for some of the most striking and monumental sights and sounds of Russia, Moscow is a must. This striking capital city plays host to one of the most eponymous buildings on the planet, the Kremlin and Red Square, the prominent sight of St Basil’s Cathedral, which makes for a memorable visit.
