Moscow is a gruff and beautiful capital with contrasts that don’t exist anywhere else in Russia. The Kremlin is a must: the heart of the Russian state, former home to princes and tsars and seat of the government since 1918. Nowadays fast-food chains and 5-star hotels stand side by side in a city marked by its communist past. Be sure to see Red Square and St Basil’s Cathedral with its colourful onion domes. For some culture visit the Bolshoi Opera or the Moscow Circus.
