Then comes the metro tour; beyond being a practical way to travel around the city, it is an experience in itself, offering 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 across the city. It is the busiest metro system in Europe, serving millions of passengers every day. What truly makes the Moscow Metro unique is the architectural beauty of many of its central stations. Riding the metro not only provides a quick escape from Moscow’s notorious traffic, but also offers a way to admire the city’s architectural heritage, with each station telling its own unique story. Our tour continues with Arbat Street, one of Moscow’s historically most important and fascinating streets.

Its lively atmosphere, with a history dating back to the 19th century, has long made it a center for artists, writers, and musicians. Charming street cafés, unique shops, and street performers contribute to its bohemian feel, creating a place where past and present coexist seamlessly. On historic Arbat Street, you will also have the opportunity to shop. After the tour, free time. 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 square’s name reflects both its striking appearance and its importance 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 a city,” an apt description for its imposing walls and strategic location. Over the centuries, as Russia’s power grew, 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 Kremlin’s rich history.
