Everyone should take the time to visit the two most iconic and famous cities in Russia; Moscow, Russia’s beating heart, known for its history and rich cultural traditions, and St Petersburg, Russia’s soul, renowned for its art, iconic architecture and incredible atmosphere. Experience both in this fantastic 8 day trip via rail.

Winston Churchill famously remarked that, “Russia is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma.” A sentiment that is as true today as it was then. Russia, and her people, are simply unique. Separated by 650 kilometres, a mere step in the vastness of Russia, these two remarkable cities are jewels of history and culture as well as the powers driving modern Russia today.
