Moscow

"Moscow is the heart of Russia; even if the heart is broken." - G K Chesterton

The Red Capital, a wonderful city, a city of white houses and green roofs, of conical towers, of bulging gilded domes, of churches which look, outside, like bunches of variegated cacti... of pavements that go up and down like a ploughed field. The political, scientific, historical, architectural and business centre of Russia, Europe’s largest metropolis, and the 5th largest city in the world, Moscow displays the country's contrasts at their most extreme. The Red Square, the Kremlin, Nine domes of St Basil's Cathedral, the Bolshoi, Ornate Metro stations, and more.
