Moscow is always associated with two buildings: St Basil’s Cathedral and the Kremlin. Not everyone knows that they’re located separately. On this tour, you’ll have the chance to visit both!
St Basil’s is one of the oldest cathedrals ever built in Russia, dating back to the 16th century. It consists of eight churches that surround a ninth. One more was added later to celebrate the Russian Saint Basil. Famous for its onion domes, it resembles a bonfire.
The Moscow Kremlin is located right next to the St Basil's Cathedral. Over the years, its towers have witnessed many dramatic events that have taken place within its walls: assassinations, sieges, murders, insurrections, religious rituals, and victory parades.
During your visit, you’ll get a deeper insight into the Kremlin’s history and visit three of its cathedrals: the Cathedral of the Archangel (Arkhangelsky), the Cathedral of Annunciation (Blagoveshchensky), and the Uspenski Cathedral (Assumption Cathedral).
