Escape the busy city centre and discover some of the best views over the Russian capital on this Moscow tour. After meeting up at the Vorobyovy Gory metro station, stop by one of the station’s many giant glass windows to admire the stunning views over the Moscow River, Russian Science Academy and Luzhniki Sports Complex.

 

Stroll through one of the city’s most scenic parks, climbing a hill opposite the sprawling Moscow State University, for even more impressive views of the city. Spot some of the most famous landmarks, including the spires of Orthodox Churches crowned with their signature golden domes, which boldly poke up between the Stalin-era buildings. Take a walk through the university, home to one of the most famous Soviet Era buildings known as Stalin's Sisters House.

 

Step inside to explore this architectural landmark, soaking up the atmosphere of its grand entrance hall, before taking a fast elevator to the 28th floor, home to the Earth Science Museum. Next, head up to the 32nd floor for even more impressive views over the city, before refreshing with a cup of tea or coffee and a snack in the university’s cafeteria. Fully refreshed, and with a new perspective of the capital, finish up this insightful Moscow tour at University Station, where you can join local students and ride back to the city centre.

Tipping:

If you are happy with the services provided by your local guides and drivers a tip - though not compulsory - is appropriate. While it may not be customary to you, it is of great significance to the people who will take care of you during your travels, inspires excellent service, and is an entrenched feature of the tourism industry across many Intrepid Urban Adventures destinations. Please consider this when budgeting for your extra expenses on this tour
