Arrival to Moscow.
Transfer from the airport.

To travel to Russia without visiting Moscow - means to see nothing in Russia. This city is really the city of contrasts. It has seen military parades on Red Square, KGB, Lenin and Solzhenitsyn. It is home for Bolshoy Theatre, Tretyakov Gallery and Pushkin Museum. History, art, religion, politics, adventure, romance, night life - whatever you are looking for, you will find it in Moscow.

Yekaterinburg is located in the middle section of the Ural mountain chain, right between Europe and Asia. The first settlers found silver, gems, diamonds... and gold, which started the first Russian gold-rush and made the city very rich. In the Soviet times the city was the main producer of munitions and was even closed for foreigners - it’s only been opened recently. Another dark secret of the city is the assassination of the last Russian emperor and his family, in 1918.
