This off-beat tour of Russia shows you the highlights as well as some places few travellers ever get to see. St. Petersburg's Hermitage Museum, palaces and churches along with Moscow's Kremlin, Armoury and Red Square are of course featured. But between the two you will get a unique insight into the real Russia with visits to the Russian Orthodox Monastery on the Solovetsky Islands in the White Sea as well as the port city of Murmansk and the half abandoned town of Teriberka in Russia's far north. Finally, before returning to Moscow, visit Yaroslavl, a treasure trove of architectural wonders dating back to the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries.
