Ancient crossroads of the East and the West, perhaps no country stirs the imagination like Russia. From its tsarist heritage, to Soviet isolationism, to its modern mystique, a tour of Russia will be unlike any vacation you’ve taken before.  In Moscow visit the immense Kremlin, Red Square, and see the iconic domes of St. Basil’s Cathedral and Lenin’s Mausoleum. Perhaps walk through Gorky Park or paddle the Volga River before a performance of the Russian Ballet at the Bolshoi Theater. The old imperial capital, St. Petersburg remains Russia’s culture capital. Tour the Hermitage Museum and baroque Winter Palace, see the Bronze Horseman and Savior on Spilled Blood, an Orthodox Russian cathedral, then wander Nevsky Prospekt or cruise the Neva River.
