St Petersburg and Moscow September 23 – October 9, 2016 Tour leader: Dr Matthew Dal Santo
St Petersburg And Moscow Overview With a rich and at times tumultuous history stretching back hundreds of years, the land of the Tsars is a fascinating place to explore. Our 17-day tour of Russian culture, history and art commences in St Petersburg, where we explore in depth the incomparable Hermitage, where all schools of western art are represented. A day trip to Pushkin takes us to the lavish Catherine Palace, a Baroque masterpiece whose Amber Room has been recently restored. We will also visit Pavlovsk, the lovely 18th-century neoclassical palace, which contains one of the most beautiful garden ensembles in Europe. City tours will include a visit to the Russian Museum, the home of Russian 20th century avant-garde art, Peter and Paul Fortress and the magnificent St Isaac’s Cathedral. We begin our tour of Moscow at the ancient Red Square. While in Moscow we visit the Kremlin’s cathedrals and its famous Armory Collection, the collections at the State Tretyakov Gallery and enjoy an evening performance at the legendary Bolshoi. On leaving Moscow we travel to Sergiev Posad to see Russia’s holiest of holies, the beautiful Trinity Monastery of St Sergius. Our last days in Russia are spent in Suzdal, the most beautiful and best preserved town of the Golden Ring, a group of ancient towns that preceded Moscow as the political and cultural heart of Russia.

St Petersburg And Moscow Detailed ItinerARY All breakfasts included. Included lunches and dinners are indicated by the letters (L) and (D). Friday September 23 Arrive St petersburg
Emirates flights arrive in St Petersburg in the late afternoon. Passengers arriving on the Emirates flight in the afternoon will be met by Matthew Dal Santo and transferred to our hotel. After checking in and time to freshen up there is a light dinner available in the hotel this evening. (D) Saturday September 24 Touring st petersburg
This morning we depart by coach on a city tour of St Petersburg. Our first port of call is the Peter and Paul Fortress. Built by Peter the Great in 1703, it is the first and oldest landmark in St. Petersburg. Several buildings are contained within the fortress, the Peter and Paul Cathedral being the most notable as it contains the tombs of almost all the Russian rulers from Peter the Great. Tsar Nicholas II and his family were finally laid to rest here in July 1998 on the 80th anniversary of their executions. We visit St Isaac’s Cathedral, whose gilded dome dominates the St Petersburg skyline while its facades are decorated in sculpture and red granite columns, and the interiors adorned with detailed mosaic icons, paintings and columns of lapis lazuli and malachite. This evening we gather to enjoy a welcome dinner in a local restaurant. (B, D) Sunday September 25 Catherine’s palace
Above: the dome of St Isaac’s Cathedral on Palace Square; and Leonardo da Vinci’s masterpiece, Madonna and Child in the Hermitage Museum Below: the grand Catherine's Palace in Tsarskoe Selo
This morning we drive the short distance to Tsarskoe Selo, formerly Pushkin, where we visit magnificent Catherine’s Palace. Built for Tsarina Elizabeth by Rastrelli in 1752 in the rococo style, it was named Catherine in honour of her mother, Catherine l, wife of Peter the Great. Catherine the Great commissioned a Scottish architect Charles Cameron to design the glorious gardens and construct the personal apartments of the Empress. The palace was badly damaged during the German occupation of World War ll, leaving only a hollow shell behind, but it has since been lovingly restored. Inside the palace, our tour takes us through the restored gentlemen-in-waiting’s dining room, the dazzling Great Hall, State Dining Room, Crimson and Green Pilaster rooms and the portrait room. We also visit the legendary Amber Room which was restored largely with German funds and re-opened in 2004. We break for lunch at Podvorye Restaurant, located in a typical Russian log house and serving traditional Russian cuisine. After lunch we explore Pavlovsk Palace and its park designed by Charles Cameron as a classic English landscaped garden and one of the most beautiful park ensembles in Europe. We return to St Petersburg this afternoon, stopping at Leningrad Blockade Memorial which poignantly evokes the 900-day siege of Leningrad (1941-1944) and acts as an important reminder of great hardships endured by its people during World War II. (B, L)
Monday September 26 A tale of two murders
Today we visit Yusupov Palace, situated on the Moika Canal. It is one of the most beautiful palaces in St Petersburg and contains a series of sumptuously decorated rooms. It was here that Grigory Rasputin, the infamous ‘holy man’ who exercised such powerful influence on the court of Russia, was murdered in 1916 in disputed circumstances by Prince Felix Yusupov. Shortly after Rasputin’s murder, the Soviets came to power and confiscated the palace from the nobles. Today it serves as a Palace of Culture for educators as well as the Rasputin Museum. This afternoon we explore the canals of St Petersburg by boat before visiting the distinctive Russian style, multi-domed Church of the Spilled Blood. The elaborately decorated church was erected on the site where Alexander II was mortally wounded by the anti-monarchist revolutionary organisation, People’s Will in 1881. The exterior draws heavily from St Basils Cathedral in Moscow contradicting the influence of western architecture prevalent in St Petersburg at the time. The interior is covered with an outstanding array of mosaics depicting scenes from Holy Scripture and the patron saints of the Romanovs. (B) Tuesday September 27 The hermitage museum
For most people St Petersburg is inexorably connected with its great art museum, the Hermitage, housed in the former residence of the Tsars, the Winter Palace. Built for Tsarina Elizabeth by the Italian-born architect, Rastrelli, the Winter Palace was a winter residence of the Tsars until 1904, when increasing unrest forced Nicholas II and his family to retreat to Tsarskoe Selo. During World War I it was used as a hospital for invalids. In July 1917 the Provisional Government took over the palace as its headquarters, and this led in turn to its storming by the Bolsheviks who nationalised the collection. Our day is spent uncovering the many galleries and exploring the amazing collection housed in this extraordinary museum. Wednesday September 28 art & artisans
Our day commences at the Carl Fabergé museum. Located in the Shuvalov Palace the museum house the world’s largest collection of works by Fabergé including nine of his famous imperial Easter eggs This afternoon we visit the Russian Museum, which was opened to the public in 1898 by Tsar Nicholas ll and, along with the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, contains the finest collection of Russian art in the world. From medieval icons to soul-searching works of the Wanderers, the explosion of Symbolism and Stalinist Social Realism, the works mirror Russia’s history. Today the museum houses the greatest collection of Russian avant-garde art, among them masterpieces by Chagall, Kandinsky and Malevich. (B) Thursday September 29 At leisure

On arrival we transfer to our hotel situated in the heart of the city. Dinner is in the hotel this evening. (B, L on the train, D) Saturday October 1 Touring moscow
Our tour commences with a visit to the iconic Red Square, a vast cobbled area flanked by some of Moscow’s most famous sites, including St Basil’s Cathedral with its extravagant and brightly coloured onion domes, commissioned by Ivan the Terrible and built between 1555 and 1561. Also in Red Square is Lenin’s Mausoleum, where the former leader’s body remains on display to the public, and GUM department store with its elaborate façade and designer stores having replaced the queues of the Soviet era. After lunch in a local restaurant we return to the hotel where the remainder of the day is at leisure. (B, L) Sunday october 2 THE TRETYAKOV GALLERY
Today we visit the Tretyakov Gallery, home of the world’s greatest collection of Russian art. Among the exhibits are The Trinity by Andrei Rublev and Russia’s most revered icon, the Vladimir Icon of the Mother of God. After a break for lunch we visit the Tolstoy museum, dedicated to the writer’s home life and the State Gulag Museum, the only museum devoted to history of Stalin’s vast network of labour camps that were spread across the USSR. (B) Monday october 3 The kremlin Above: entrance to Moscow’s Red Square (photo by Bart Slingerland); and Our Lady of Vladimir Icon brought from Constantinople in the 12th Century and now housed in the Tretyakov Gallery Below: the Cathedral of the Assumption in the Kremlin
Today we visit the Kremlin, seat of the Tsars, headquarters of the Soviet Union and now the residence of President Vladimir Putin. Since its foundation in 1156, the Kremlin has been a symbol of power of the State. We visit some of the churches in the Cathedral Square, among them the most important church in Moscow, the Cathedral of the Assumption. Also in the Kremlin complex is the State Armory, which showcases the wealth accumulated by Russian tsars over many centuries and the Diamond Fund, which boasts among its jewels the famous Orlov diamond presented to Catherine the Great by her lover Count Grigory Orlov, as well as the Shah Diamond given to Tsar Nicholas I by Shah Mirza. (B, L) Tuesday october 4 At leisure
Today is at leisure to further explore Moscow. (B) Wednesday October 5 metro tour
No visit to Moscow is complete without a ride on its famous underground, the metro, and this morning we see some of the elegant stations
decorated in frescoes and lined with marble. Construction work on the metro began in the early 1930s, during the period of Stalin’s first five year plan. Nikita Khrushchev was one of the men entrusted with building a metro that would serve as a showcase for socialism. It was declared that ‘the whole country will build the metro’. Some of the Soviet Union’s finest artists were employed to decorate the metro. A gentle walk along the Garden Boulevards through Moscow’s exclusive housing areas leads us to the Pushkin Café, an elegant Russian restaurant in a converted Baroque mansion. The afternoon is free to stroll along the Old Arbat, or to visit the famous Yeliseev Art Deco café and deli on Tverskaya Street for a warming cup of coffee or a shot of vodka. (B, L) Thursday October 6 Sergiev posad
We depart Moscow by coach for Sergiev Posad, Russia’s holiest of holies, the beautiful Trinity Monastery of St Sergius. Founded in 1340 by St Sergius, Russia’s patron saint, it is a glorious ensemble of blue and golden cupolas offset by snow-white walls. It was closed by the Bolsheviks after the 1917 Revolution but re-opened after World War II as a museum, working monastery and the residence of the patriarch. From Sergiev Posad we travel to Suzdal, approximately four hours away, where we remain for the rest of our stay in Russia. (B, L, D)

Friday October 7 Suzdal
Suzdal is one of the most beautiful and best preserved towns of the Golden Ring, a group of ancient towns that preceded Moscow as the political and cultural heart of Russia. The first records of Suzdal date from 1024. With its clusters of 17th- and 18th-century whitewashed churches and its streets of low wooden houses with traditional carved eaves and windows, Suzdal is a living museum protected against any industrial development. We explore it at leisure today with a local guide. (B, L, D) Saturday October 8 vladimir
Today we visit Vladimir, founded by Vladimir Monomakh in 1108; it became the capital of all Kievan Rus after Kiev was sacked in 1169. Although Vladimir eventually gave way to Moscow as the capital of Russia, the Tsars continued to be crowned in its Cathedral of the Assumption until the 15th century. Among those crowned here were Dmitri Donskoy and Alexander Nevskiy. The Cathedral, built in the 1150s, originally housed Russia’s most revered icon, the Vladimir Icon of the Mother of God. Originally brought from Kiev, it was moved to Moscow in 1390 and has been housed at the Tretyakov Gallery since 1930. The real treasures of the Cathedral today are the frescoes painted by Andrei Rublev in 1408. On our way back to Valdimir we visit the Church of Intercession of Nerl, a symbol of medieval Russia situated on a lake in an isolated meadow. In the evening we gather for our farewell dinner.
