Moscow tour

      In this post, I will name the places to be in Moscow.First place is a heart of Moscow - Red Square.Red in russian means not just a colour,it means beutiful also.So this square is not red, it's baeutiful and located in the heart of the capital and contains some amount of architectural monuments.They are:
    Spasskaya Tower is the main tower with a through-passage on the eastern wall of the Moscow Kremlin, which overlooks the Red Square.Gates of the Tower were the main gates in to Kremlin, it was impossible to pass on horseback, passing through them, men should remove hats.On the Spasskaya Tower there are famous Kremlin clock.
    Anothere one is Pokrovsky Cathedral (Saint Basil's Cathedral), it marks the geometric center of the city and the hub of its growth since the 14th century.The building's design, shaped as a flame of a bonfire rising into the sky, has no analogues in Russian architecture.This one you can see on the picture above.
    The State Historical Museum is a museum of russian history wedged between Red Square and Manege Square.Its exhibitions range from relics of the prehistoric tribes inhabiting present-day Russia, through priceless artworks acquired by members of the Romanov Dynasty.The total number of objects in the museum's collection numbers in the millions.
     Lenin's Mausoleum also known as Lenin's Tomb (why is he still there?).His embalmed body has been on public display there since shortly after his death in 1924.More than 10 million people visited Lenin's tomb between 1924 and 1972.They say that the Mausoleum is opened every day from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm, except mondays and fridays and visitors still wait in long lines to see Lenin's body,but every time i visit Red Square it's closed(what a shame).So wat can I say-It's a great place to be as in summer as like in winter.

Peterhof Russia

    The first sight which I suggest to you is situated nearby Saint-Petersburg and it's called Peterhof Palace.I have been there several times and my opinion-this is the one of the most beautiful sightseeings in Russia.I have been there in winter and summer but i suggest you to go there exactly in summer, in my further describtion you will see why.
    This residence of Peter the First arose in the first quarter of XVII century. There are several baroque ensembles and individual architectural and historical complexes combined in Peterhof.It's famous for constellation of palaces, collections, fountains and cascades.Currently there are fourteen parks opened for hiking and inspection which are stretched for more than ten kilometers along the coast.Their total area exceeds one thousand hectares.There are collection of exhibitions in the Grand Peterhof Palace,Montplaisir and Marly palaces.

    Decoration of parks and facilities is a magnificent sculpture. Four stages and 150 existing fountains staggering.That is why Peterhof is usually referred to as the capital of fountains.For cases when Peter arrived by see the pier was built.Maybe there is still possebility to travel right to Snt.Petersburg by the see.If you wish to visit Peterhof, I suggest you to apply to travel agency, info about them you can find in google.
