MOSCOW

Stroll to the spectacular Red Square and its iconic St.Basil’s Cathedral at the southern end; the lively Old Arbat with its cafes and live music; and the ever-impressive Metro (above), where endless escalators descend to platforms adorned with mosaics and marble. Do not leave Moscow without gazing at a priceless Faberge egg at the Armoury.
