 In
the Cold War era, Moscow was known as the "Lion's Den" by
Western nations. With a posh underground rail network and large green
parks , the metropolis that awaits visitors is much different than
the staunchy, backwards city it was made out to be. |
| Although the wide open parks and intricately carved architecture
of Moscow have been a part of the city's design for generations, much
has changed since the fall of communism. Once the scene of communist
rallies, Moscow's Red
Square is now home to a strip of upscale shops
and restaurants. Of course, The
Kremlin and St. Basil's still stand proud along the square's
borders. Visitors to Gorky
Park will find a variety of amusement park rides, cotton
candy and paddleboats. Still an elegant tradition the Russian
ballet is a moving event. For an armchair tour of Moscow, click the Photo Tour button to the left. Ready to plan your trip? Use the Travel Planner at left to help you map it out. Explore. Relax. Enjoy. Destination: Moscow. |
