New Russia Holiday Website Revealed By PureTravel

April 20, 2010 - PRLog -- The online adventure tour company PureTravel is elated to reveal its latest website which features Russia vacations and tours. The tours are all provided by local Russian tour operators who are based in the destination country.  

Russia is a vast and diverse country, with high mountains, deep lakes and beautiful architecture. For a Russia holiday in the city of Moscow, there are a few essential destinations that every traveler must see. While it could take years for a tourist to fully be able to appreciate everything that Moscow has to offer, some travelers may want to spend just a few days in the big city before heading on to explore other parts of this dynamic country.

Red Square is in the center of Moscow, and is a must-see for anyone traveling to Moscow on a Russia holiday. Entrance to Red Square is free, although some of the attractions inside the square require a small fee. From Red Square, tourists can enjoy stunning views of the walls of the Kremlin, and the high-rise, luxurious GUM department store. There are also several churches that surround Red Square, and those who wish to go inside for religious services or for sight-seeing will be welcomed warmly.

St. Basil's Cathedral is on the southern end of Red Square, and its spectacular towers of color can be seen from great distances. Entrance fee is very small, and travelers can see ancient artwork inside the cathedral.

The Kremlin is connected to Red Square by a wall, but can only be reached by a certain entrance. The fee to get inside the Kremlin is small. Once inside, visitors are treated to more than a dozen cathedrals and buildings that have been historically renovated and are now open as museums to the public. Visitors can tour the Kremlin grounds on their own, or can hire a guide. Inside the Kremlin are world-famous sites such as the Armoury Chamber, and the Tsar Bell and Cannon on Ivan Square. These monuments are popular for picture-taking and posing.
