Moscow St Petersburg Tour Package

Russia's two great cities offer a window into a world that few Indian travellers get to experience: the grandeur of imperial palaces, the drama of Soviet architecture, and the warmth of Russian hospitality.

This 7-day Moscow and St Petersburg tour connects these two extraordinary cities by high-speed train, giving you a front-row seat to Russia's most magnificent landmarks, art collections, and cultural treasures.

Your trip begins in Moscow, Russia's sprawling capital, where four days gives you time to explore the city's most iconic sites.

The Red Square, flanked by the colourful onion domes of St Basil's Cathedral and the imposing walls of the Kremlin, is one of the most recognisable places on Earth.

Inside the Kremlin complex, you will visit the Armoury Chamber, home to Faberge eggs, royal carriages, and the famous Cap of Monomakh, the crown used to coronate Russian tsars for centuries.

The Moscow Metro is an attraction in its own right, and you will visit several stations that are essentially underground palaces, with chandeliers, marble floors, and elaborate mosaics that celebrate Soviet achievements.

The Moscow State University building, one of the seven Stalinist skyscrapers, offers panoramic views from its observation deck, and the Tretyakov Gallery houses the world's finest collection of Russian art, from medieval icons to avant-garde masterpieces.

On day four, you board the Sapsan high-speed train for the four-hour journey to St Petersburg.

The train glides through the Russian countryside at up to 250 km/h, and the landscape of birch forests, small villages, and golden-domed churches flashing past the window is a beautiful introduction to the vastness of this country.

Arriving in St Petersburg feels like entering a different world: where Moscow is bold and imposing, St Petersburg is elegant and refined, a city built by Peter the Great to rival the greatest capitals of Europe.

St Petersburg is home to the Hermitage Museum, one of the largest and oldest museums in the world, housed in the Winter Palace of the Russian tsars.

The collection spans everything from Egyptian mummies to Leonardo da Vinci paintings, and the building itself, with its green and white facade and lavish golden interiors, is worth the visit alone.

You will spend a full day here, guided through the highlights so you do not miss the most significant works.

Beyond the Hermitage, St Petersburg rewards exploration.

Walk along Nevsky Prospekt, the city's main boulevard, lined with shops, restaurants, and architectural masterpieces. Visit the Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood, with its dazzling interior covered in over 7,000 square metres of mosaics.

Take a boat cruise along the city's canals and rivers, passing under bridges and alongside palaces that reflect in the water like paintings.

If you visit in summer, you may witness the famous White Nights, when the sun barely sets and the city's bridges open at night to let ships pass.

This package includes return flights from major Indian cities, accommodation in 3-4 star hotels in both cities, daily breakfast, the Sapsan high-speed train between Moscow and St Petersburg, guided sightseeing at all major attractions, and visa assistance.
