Trip Overview
Russia — Moscow & St. Petersburg is an 8-day, 7-night imperial journey through two of the world’s most breathtaking cities, crafted exclusively for discerning Indian travellers by Auravian Journeys.
Begin in Moscow — Russia’s mighty capital — where centuries of history unfold before your eyes. Walk the legendary Red Square, step inside the iconic Kremlin, taste ice cream at the grand GUM Store, and glide above the city skyline on the Sparrow Hills Cable Car. Then board the high-speed Sapsan train and arrive in the magnificent St. Petersburg — the Venice of the North — where golden palaces, world-class museums and fairytale canals await at every turn. Explore the awe-inspiring Hermitage Museum, wander through Catherine’s Palace at Tsarskoye Selo, marvel at the Peter & Paul Fortress, and raise a glass at the famous Vodka Museum. On your return to Moscow, cruise the Moskva River aboard a Radisson yacht before bidding farewell to a country that will stay with you forever.
With private English-speaking guides, comfortable AC coaches, Sapsan train tickets, and all major entrance fees included — this is Russia, done right.
