Sightseeing tour 5 hours

During these 5 hours tour around Moscow you will see the highlights of the Russian capital, take the first look at the famous Red Square and the Kremlin, listen to the music of Moscow streets and parks and spend unforgettable time at the Arbat street - one of the most interesting culture places in Moscow - a small paradise for emerging street vendors and freelance artists and performers. Hundreds of types of nested matryoshka dolls, painted scarves and lacquer boxes are sold all along Arbat. You can get there a really nice portrait of you drawn in half an hour - or might simply enjoy the musicians playing and singing their own songs.

However, Arbat means a lot for a Muscovite not as a shopping area. First mentioned in chronicles of 1493, the street is over five centuries old. From late XVIII century, Arbat becomes the most aristocratic area of Moscow. Moscow intelligentsia has been adoring the place (and still is). No factories, cheap markets or taverns have ever been built here.

Small quiet lanes around Arbat still keep the charming secrets of old Moscow style. When visiting Arbat, find a few minutes to walk couple of blocks away from the street itself and stroll through the shades of Moscow history. And of course, Arbat is one of the worthy city attractions. It features lots of small souvenir shops and stands, nice cafes and pubs, and a very spectacular crowd.
