Russia is filled with magnificent iconic sites that preserve both its history and cultural heritage. The most important site in Russia is Moscow. Moscow is famous for its historic Red Square and the 16th century's St. Basil's Cathedral. This colourful building is shaped like a flame that rises into the sky which is now turned into a museum.

Other places to visit can include St. Petersburg, The Winter Palace, The Marble Palace and the Hermitage. One must also visit Russia's first capital Novgorod.
