Highlights Of Russia Tour 6 Nights 7 Days Holiday Tour Package | Flamingo Travels

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify; &quot;&gt;Red Square is one of the oldest and largest squares in Moscow, the capital of Russia. Owing to its historical significance and the adjacent historical buildings, it is regarded as one of the most famous squares in Europe and the world. It is located in Moscow&#39;s historic centre, in the eastern walls of the Kremlin.&lt;/p&gt;

<p>We’ve carefully constructed the perfect itinerary that hits every location you need to see in order to really get a feel for the magic and beauty of St. Petersburg.</p><p>Perfect view of the Palace Square? Check. Colored onion domes of The Savior on the Blood Cathedral? Check. Gazing down the Peter and Paul Fortress from the Neva river embankment? Of course!</p><p>And of course St. Petersburg isn’t just about the major monuments, so your guide will be sure to point out lesser-known nooks and crannies along the way to give you a more in-depth perspective on this complex and fascinating city. After getting a taste for the general layout of St. Petersburg, you’ll be much more comfortable getting around and exploring each neighborhood further during the remainder of your trip.</p><p>*Please note: this tour can include entry into cathedrals or museums at extra cost.</p>

Housing a cathedral where the Romanovs are buried, a former prison and various exhibitions, this large defensive fortress on Zayachy Island is the kernel from which St Petersburg grew into the city it is today. History buffs will love it and everyone will swoon at the panoramic views from atop the fortress walls, at the foot of which lies a sandy riverside beach, a prime spot for sunbathing.

<p style="text-align: justify; ">For more than 70 years Moscow was the capital of the vast Soviet empire, and reminders of that time can still be seen throughout the city.</p><p style="text-align: justify; ">The first stop of the tour is Lenin’s Mausoleum, the burial place of one of the most influential communist leaders in the world. Learn about the hidden pages of the Soviet history from the Great October Revolution to Perestroika, from Lenin and Stalin to Gorbachev. Continue to the Lubyanka to see the notorious headquarters of the former KGB. See the Solovetsky Stone, the monument to victims of Soviet repression.</p><p style="text-align: justify; ">Finally, explore the beauty of Ploshad Revotsii metro station and learn about its rich-history.</p><p style="text-align: justify; "><b><br></b></p><p style="text-align: justify; "><b>Meeting point</b></p><ul><li style="text-align: justify; ">In front of Marshal Zhukov monument in Manege Square (between Four Seasons Hotel and Historical Museum)</li></ul><p style="text-align: justify; "><b><br></b></p><p style="text-align: justify; "><b>Additional Info</b></p><ul><li style="text-align: justify; ">As the Lenin Mausoleum is not a museum but a government institution, entrance may be closed during official events or for other foreseen circumstances</li><li style="text-align: justify; ">In case of closure, the tour will take place outside the building and more time will be added to other parts of the tour</li></ul>

<p style="text-align: justify; ">Lenin's Mausoleum, also known as Lenin's Tomb, situated on Red Square in the centre of Moscow, is a mausoleum that serves as the resting place of Soviet leader Vladimir Lenin. His preserved body has been on public display there since shortly after his death in 1924, with rare exceptions in wartime.</p>

<span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">St. Petersburg's most popular visitor attraction, and one of the world's largest and most prestigious museums, the Hermitage is a must-see for all first-time travellers to the city. With over 3 million items in its collection, it also definitely rewards repeat visits, and new-comers can only hope to get a brief taste of the riches on offer here, from Impressionist masterpieces to fascinating Oriental treasures. One estimate has it that you would need eleven years to view each exhibit on display for just one minute, so many visitors prefer to organize a guided tour to ensure they have time to catch all the collection's highlights. Art aficionados, however, may find it more rewarding to seek out for themselves the works that they are particularly interested in.</span>

Saint Isaac's Cathedral or Isaakievskiy Sobor is a cathedral that currently functions as a museum in Saint Petersburg, Russia. It is dedicated to Saint Isaac of Dalmatia, a patron saint of Peter the Great, who had been born on the feast day of that saint.

<span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">During this sightseeing tour, you will have a chance to visit Moscow's most famous landmarks and immerse yourself into the atmosphere of glorious past as you are strolling among the stunning buildings designed and raised centuries ago.</span>

<p>The Moscow Metro is a metro serving Moscow, Russia, and the neighbouring Moscow Oblast cities of Krasnogorsk, Reutov, Lyubertsy and Kotelniki. Opened in 1935 with one 11-kilometre (6.8 mi) line and 13 stations, it was the first underground railway system in the Soviet Union. As of 2021, the Moscow Metro, excluding the Moscow Central Circle, the Moscow Central Diameters and the Moscow Monorail, has 241 stations (276 with Moscow Central Circle) and its route length is 412.1 km (256.1 mi), making it the fifth-longest in the world and the longest outside China. The system is mostly underground, with the deepest section 74 metres (243 ft) underground at the Park Pobedy station, one of the world's deepest underground stations. It is the busiest metro system in Europe, and is considered a tourist attraction in itself.</p>

<div>Discover why Saint Petersburg is known as the &quot;Venice of the North&quot; on an amazing boat cruise along the canals and rivers of the most beautiful city in Russia. See stunning monuments with Italian and French influence, along with remnants of the Stalinist architecture of the Soviet era.</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Admire some of the most beautiful of the city's 200 bridges, along with impressive cathedrals decorated in a western European style or typical design from Russia. Journey down the Neva River as it makes it way from Lake Ladoga right through the middle of the city into the Gulf of Finland.&nbsp;</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Pass the artificial New Holland Island, created in 1719 when the newly built Kryukov Canal and Admiralty Canal connected the Moika River with the Neva River. Admire the imperial palaces from the water, see where Rasputin died and more.</div>

One of St. Petersburg's most famous and popular visitor attractions, the palace and park at Peterhof (also known as Petrodvorets) are often referred to as &quot;the Russian Versailles&quot;, although many visitors conclude that the comparison does a disservice to the grandeur and scope of this majestic estate.

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify; &quot;&gt;The Nikulin Circus is one of the oldest in Russia, and the traditional home of the world-famous Moscow State Circus. The original stone building was founded on Tsvetnoi Bulvar in 1880 by the rider and gymnast Albert Salamonsky. Initially, the circus was most famous for its trick riding acts, but an increasingly wide variety of performers joined the repertoire, and later the stars of the show became the clowns. In 1946, the Clown Studio was established, and its alumni included the great clown and comic actor Yuri Nikulin, who performed at the circus for over twenty years and became Chief Producer there, as well as starring in a number of extremely popular Soviet-era film comedies. The circus has been renamed in honor of this much-loved performer, and a statue of him stands in front of the building. Although it&#39;s called the &#39;Old&#39; Circus - to differentiate it from the Big Circus on Prospekt Vernadskogo - it was in fact completely rebuilt in the 1980&#39;s, and the building and the auditorium seem more like a theater than a big top, with a plush red interior and comfortable seating. The shows at the Nikulin Circus also have a very theatrical feel to them, with quite a formal atmosphere, a serious approach to circus artistry, and the acts normally connected by a particular theme or narrative thread.&lt;/p&gt;

Amazing city within a city! This is a unique center of culture and entertainment, where everyone will find something for everyone – tours, master classes for Russian crafts, meal in restaurants and cafes, walking and shopping. Russian handicraft centre Izmaylovo is famous for its open air souvenir market. Izmaylovo is one of the oldest parts of Moscow, where the second Romanov Tzar Alexey Mikhailovich had his summer residence. One of the main highlight of the tour is Izmailovo Kremlin where you will be presented a short story about its history with common features of Russian architecture of the XVII century. The Vernisage at Izmailovo is a large, outdoor shopping market, full of all sorts of Russian souvenirs, crafts and other interesting things to buy, along with paintings, “flea market” items, rugs from central Asia, and a few places to get a bite to eat or a drink. You can easily spend the better part of a day just wandering around among the stalls looking and buying.&nbsp;

<p style="text-align: justify; ">Kazan Cathedral or Kazanskiy Kafedralniy Sobor, also known as the Cathedral of Our Lady of Kazan, is a cathedral of the Russian Orthodox Church on the Nevsky Prospekt in Saint Petersburg. It is dedicated to Our Lady of Kazan, one of the most venerated icons in Russia.</p>

The Memorial Museum of Cosmonautics is a museum in Moscow, Russia, dedicated to space exploration. It is located within the base of the Monument to the Conquerors of Space in the north-east of the city.

Poklonnaya Gora is, at 171.5 meters, one of the highest natural spots in Moscow. Its two summits used to be separated by the Setun River, until one of the summits was razed in 1987.

This was our first trip at abroad, we were having lots of questions with us how will be the company, will get Jain food and many more but with flamingo the answers was yes we got best company and excellent food all over the trip. We didn't only get Jain food but we got full Gujarati dish &quot;Shikhand Puri&quot;, &quot;Pani Puri&quot;, &quot;Puran Puri&quot;, and many Indian dishes, it was really very surprising for us. The hotels provide by them for stay were also so good. The tour manager Devarshi Mam itself was so supportive. We never realized that tour manager is with us she was like our family member.

Mr. Hemang Patel

South Africa so well organised and memorable

<div>With flamingo tours, it was our 1st trip which is made a memorable one. Our tour manager Mr. kushal shah is just perfect guide.</div>
<div>On the very first day <span style="font-weight: bold;">Mr. Kushal shah</span> wanted us to have a great bonding amongst each other so that we get the best experience possible. He always tried to serve the best food and at the proper time. The thing that was best in him was that he always shared some or the other things related to the place we were visiting in an interesting manner. Mr kushal shah tried to give information about the place in an easy language understoodable by every participant and never meant to behave partial with anyone. A negative or say a sad point&nbsp; was that the Orlando hotel which was felt comparatively poor quality. We were given quality shopping time and he also enlisted what activities are to be done in parks that are the best in that particular part. It was overall a very good and unforgettable experience.&nbsp;</div>
<div>At last would say that hats off to the tour manager<span style="font-weight: bold;"> Mr. kushal shah.</span></div>
