2. DAY — MOSCOW
After breakfast, free time. Guests who wish may join the Moscow Combined Tour, organized as an extra by our guide (120 EUR per person) [Moscow Metro & Arbat Street & Novodevichy (Nazım Hikmet) Cemetery]. Our tour begins with a visit to Novodevichy Cemetery, where the grave of our famous poet Nazım Hikmet is located. We will also see the graves of important figures from Russian history. Then comes the Metro tour; beyond being a practical way to get around the city, it is an experience in itself that offers a glimpse into the heart of Russian history and culture. Opened in 1935, the metro has since become one of the largest and busiest metro systems in the world, with 268 stations spread across the city. Serving millions of passengers every day, it is the busiest metro system in Europe. What makes the Moscow Metro truly unique is the architectural beauty of many of its central stations. Riding the metro not only offers a quick escape from Moscow’s famous traffic but also a chance to admire the city’s architectural heritage, where each station tells its own story. The tour continues with Arbat Street, one of Moscow’s historically most important and fascinating streets. As you walk along its cobblestone paths, you are not only moving through a physical space but also stepping through layers of Russian history and culture. With its lively atmosphere and history dating back to the 19th century, it has long been a hub for artists, writers, and musicians. Charming street cafés, unique shops, and street performers add to its bohemian vibe, creating a place where past and present coexist seamlessly. You will also have shopping opportunities on historic Arbat Street. Free time after the tour. In the afternoon, our first stop is Red Square. The name “Red Square” comes from the Russian word “krasnaya,” which historically meant both “red” and “beautiful.” While today “krasnaya” is mostly associated with the color red, in old times it also meant beautiful or magnificent. Therefore, the name reflects both its striking appearance and its significance as a symbol of Russian heritage. After our walk in Red Square, we visit the Kremlin; not only the largest active fortress in Europe, but also one of the strongest symbols of Russian history and authority. Originally built to protect the citizens of Moscow, the word “Kremlin” means “fortress within the city,” which is an apt description of its imposing walls and strategic location. Over the centuries, as Russia grew in power, the Moscow Kremlin became the center of political, religious, and cultural life in the country. Today, the Kremlin is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and remains one of Russia’s most iconic landmarks. You will closely feel the rich history of the Kremlin. After the tour, return to our hotel and free time. Overnight at our hotel.
