Opened in 1935, the metro has since become one of the largest and busiest metro systems in the world, with 268 stations covering the city. It serves millions of passengers every day and is Europe’s busiest metro system. What makes the Moscow Metro truly unique is the architectural beauty of many of its central stations.

You will also have shopping opportunities on historic Arbat Street. After the tour, free time. In the afternoon, our first stop is Red Square. The name Red Square comes from the Russian word “krasnaya,” which historically meant both “red” and “beautiful.” Although today “krasnaya” is mostly associated with the color red, in ancient times it also meant beautiful or magnificent. Therefore, the square’s name reflects both its striking appearance and its importance as a symbol of Russian heritage. After our walk through Red Square, we continue to the Kremlin; not only the largest active fortress in Europe, but also one of the strongest symbols of Russian history and authority. Originally built to protect the citizens of Moscow, the word “Kremlin” means “fortress within the city,” which is an apt description for its imposing walls and strategic location. Over the centuries, as Russian power grew, the Moscow Kremlin became the center of political, religious, and cultural life in the country. Today, the Kremlin is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and remains one of Russia’s most iconic landmarks. You will feel the rich history of the Kremlin up close.
