| Book Moscow (SVO) flights on CheapOair and visit the spiritual, political, and economic capital of the world's largest country. The impressive Stalinist buildings along Tverskaya ulitsa, the main drag leading up to Red Square, now house glitzy Western franchises. The well-heeled New Muscovites may have greeted capitalism with open arms but after 74 years of Communist-imposed atheism, many in the Russian capital have enthusiastically embraced their once-banned Orthodox faith. This is reflected in the restoration of old churches, the rapid construction of new ones and the decision to give the remains of Russia's last tsar, Nicholas II, a Christian burial. With cheap Moscow flights, now you can enjoy without breaking the bank.
The first stops on any tour of Moscow are Red Square and the Kremlin – the heart, not only of the city but also of the country itself. The history of the country is written large here in the historic centre of Moscow and the seat of Tsarist and Soviet power. The Garden Ring Road circles the city center and within its boundaries are most of Moscow's major attractions. The Moskva River arcs within this ring, aligning with one of the Kremlin's walls and passing Gorky Park to the southwest. Discos are popular in Moscow, although there are also an increasing number of pub-type bars, many of which serve food. These generally offer a happy hour, with two-for-one drink specials. Live music is played all over the city but quality acts are not always easy to come by. Many of the bars and clubs are located in the larger hotels or the immediate vicinity. Book cheap flights to Moscow now and make this vacation a memorable one. You can also visit popular city of St. Petersburg.
