Itinerary

Day 1: Welcome to St. Petersburg

Tread in the footsteps of tsars and tsarinas, of artists, poets and musicians, whose great gifts to the romantic city of St. Petersburg you will have an opportunity to see over the next few days. This evening, meet your Travel Director and fellow travellers for a Welcome Reception and light dinner.

Day 2: The Hermitage and More in St. Petersburg

Explore the might of imperial Russia on a sightseeing tour with a Local Specialist. View the magnificent Tsar's Winter Palace, Nevsky Prospekt, St. Isaac's Cathedral and the statue of Peter the Great. Visit the Peter and Paul Fortress on an included visit before we Connect With Locals, meeting some of the students of St. Petersburg's Theatre for canapés and a stage performance. Learn how your visit will support the theatrical education of St. Petersburg's youth during your MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experience. Later, Dive Into Culture as you join a Small Group Sightseeing visit with a Local Specialist to the Hermitage Museum. Consider a theatre visit to enjoy a fascinating Russian Folklore performance.

Day 3: St. Petersburg Your Way

The narrow lanes and grand boulevards of St. Petersburg are ours to explore today. Admire the ornate domes and colourful mosaics of the Church of the Saviour on Spilled Blood and the gold-plated dome of St. Isaac's Cathedral.

Day 4: Journey By High-Speed Train to Moscow

After a hearty breakfast, enjoy some time at leisure before boarding a train to the Russian capital. En route, contemplate the tumultuous and captivating history of an ancient city that oozes grandeur, and the indomitable spirit of the Russian nation which saw it send the first man to outer space. Straddling the Moskva River, this city is the country's political, economic, religious and financial hub – and your home for the next three nights.

Day 5: Explore Magnificent Moscow

Enjoy a leisurely morning exploring Moscow your way or head to the ancient 14th-century town of Sergiev Posad on Russia’s Golden Ring route on an Optional Experience. Home to the beautiful blue and gold onion domes of the Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius, the town is the centre of Orthodox faith and Russia’s most important pilgrimage site. Visit the Troitse-Sergiieyeva Lavra, a working monastery which still operated during the atheist years of Communist rule. Then, return to Moscow for a guided sightseeing tour with your Local Specialist which features the imposing walls of the Kremlin.

Day 6: Moscow Your Way

A leisurely start to your day could see you enjoying the kofe culture of Moscow with the locals. You could choose instead to join an Optional Experience inside the Kremlin and explore the golden-domed Cathedral of Christ the Saviour before taking a stroll along Arbat street, Moscow’s Montmartre. This evening, toast to the magic and magnificence of Mother Russia, joining your fellow travellers for a Farewell Dinner.

Day 7: Farewell Russia

We close the door on our epic At Leisure holiday in two iconic Russian cities and say farewell to newfound friends. Find out more about your free airport transfer at trafalgar.com/freetransfers.

Great value for a worry free vacation. Accommodations were clean, food was good. All we had to do was get on the bus relax and go see the sights.

Scandinavia is well worth visiting

Loved the tour. Our guide was terrific and we met some great people. Most hotels were great. Visited some really beautiful places. We learned a lot and tried many local foods. Return trip down Norway was a bit tiresome with 3 days of travelling but it's a big country and drive was scenic. Really enjoyed the trip and would recommend it.

Our tour director, Katrin Griffiths was amazing! She is so knowledgeable about the countries and the people. She gave great suggestions for food and other sites to see. She made sure everyone was comfortable and having a good time. We really can't say enough about her. Our coach driver, Yanos, was also amazing. Very professional and competent. Always there to help the group on and off the coach.
