Veliky Novgorod is one of the Russian ancient cities, which was founded at the beginning of the 4th century B.C. The city abounds in various national historic landmarks and astonishing Old Russian architecture. It’s almost impossible to determine where the city ends and the museum area starts, so beautiful the city is. There you will be allowed to touch the rugged surface of the Old Russian churches and monasteries, the witnesses of many tragic and outstanding events, look at the fabulous frescoes, Christian Orthodox Churches and listen to the melodic Russian language that sounds like the music of the morning stars. Enjoy the most admiring city sights. The beautiful city of Torjok is one of the old Russian cities, that was built at the Tvertsa River banks between the 9-10th centuries. It was burnt many times and then restored by Peter the Great, who turned the city into the Tvertsa River port. The city is full of Old Russian churches, monasteries and cathedrals that will ravish you with their incomparable beauty and convey the spirit of the long history. The ancient buildings have preserved its pristine view, so you can trace Torjok history on their walls. The town of Ostashkov is the local history and ethnographic museum under the blue sky. The town is famous for its innumerable sights and places of interest, as it preserved not only some separate architectural monuments, but also the Old Russian town view, with its ancient spirit and the way of life. The spacious streets of Ostashkov were laid in the 18th century. It’s interesting that the city was named "Second Venice" in the second century A.C., because it stands on water that is the original feature of this town. Ostashkov is very famous for its location on the southern part of Lake Seliger This sensation is not casual. Ostashkov is located on the southern part of famous Lake Seliger, well known for its beauty and clean water. Besides, the tower is situated near one of the most remarkable places in Russia – the source of the Volga River. Staritsa was established in 1297 and named Gorodok ( small town). Since the 15th century, the town has been called Staritsa. This beautiful town is situated not far from the city of Tver and is split by its river into two parts. You can find many abandoned limestone Russian style buildings on the one side of the river. On the other bank stands the Assumption abbey, spectacular cathedral from 1530 and ponderous Neoclassical cathedral of Sts. Boris and Gleb from 1560. Besides Staritsa is also famous for its 18th–19th century quarries. The quarries were created by the locals, without any general plan, and sometimes they remind real labyrinths. The actual length of these caves is about 3-5 kilometers. They are rather dry, clean and save. Moscow is two hours drive by car and by train from Tver, as it lies only 90 miles south of it. It’s interesting, that Moscow is considered to be the most expensive city in the world (concerning property prices) and the world's billionaire capital. The capital of Moscow is the country's political, economic, religious, financial, educational and transportation centre. The most popular attractions for tourists are Moscow Kremlin, Red Square, various cathedrals, museums, theaters, 96 park and 18 gardens and the Moscow Zoo. It possesses a complex transport system that includes the world’s busiest metro system, which is famous for its architecture. So, if you plan to go there by car, your driver should know Moscow well to help avoid some problematic situations with guidebooks. St. Petersburg Another popular destination for tourists is St. Petersburg. More than two hundred years it was the capital of the Russian Empire, founded by Tsar Peter the Great in 1703 as his “window to the west” and named in his honor. The other city names were Petrograd and Leningrad. In St. Petersburg you can become the witness of the celebrated phenomenon known as the "white nights".
