Our dedicated selection of history, culture and art fuelled  travel adventures let you delve into gems of years past while enjoying the luxuries of modern amenities. Russia's history is colourful and tumultuous - there's no better way to discover its layers than seeing them with your own eyes. And there are no more fitting places to start than Moscow and St. Petersburg.    

Legendary Moscow

While it hasn't always been Russia's capital, the complicated, grandiose history of Moscow lends itself as a historical sightseeing goldmine. Quintessential Russia through and through, if you're looking for the beating heart of this enormous country, chances are you'll find it in Moscow. It delivers the full Russian package, from the creation of the Kremlin during the city's early medieval days, to Soviet occupation and its reinstatement as Russia's capital, and the patchwork of centuries and modern flair of 21st century Moscow - we'll be sure to visit it all. Your trip to Moscow is hardly complete without a visit to St. Basil's Cathedral, the Kremlin, the Red Square or the Tretyakov Gallery. With Discovery Russia, you experience so much more than a historical glimpse. Our History Trips delve into past importances, implications and ramifications throughout the journey.  Arguably the most exciting part of any historical trip to Russia (and a must-see for all visitors, in our opinion) is the Golden Ring. A charming venture into Russia of years gone by, the Golden Ring is a collection of towns filled with monuments, churches, town squares and museums in the style of medieval Russia. The exact locales included in the Golden Ring are often debated, which can make it challenging to choose which are worth visiting. The guides at Discovery Russia have done the hunting for you, ensuring that your Golden Ring package visits the best destinations that the region has to offer.   

Grand Old St Petersburg

The home of the Romanov family for centuries, it is not surprising that St Petersburg as one of the  highlights of Russia.  boasts regal and opulent airs. Historical wonders lie around every corner of its cobblestone pathways, and across every bridge over St Petersburg's many canals. Often described as Russia's European connection, the city does have a certain European 'je ne sais quoi' attitude - yet St Petersburg is still undeniably Russian. The history of St Petersburg is wild and rampant, peppered with nefarious characters like Rasputin and technicoloured onion domes as seen on the Church of the Saviour on the Spilled Blood. It's impossible to come to St Petersburg without being amazed by the historical significance of the city. On a history trip with Discovery Russia, submerge yourself in sightseeing galore at the sites of history's most pivotal moments. Get to know the city with our guided tours; most of which are included in the cost. Enjoy tours of the Winter Palace and Hermitage, highlights like St. Isaac's Cathedral and the Kazan, the Royal Peterhof Palace and the Peter and Paul Fortress and Cathedral, and an evening boat cruise along St Petersburg's famous canals.
