This tour gives you a chance to see with your own eyes and compare Russia's two capitals and one of the most ancient cities in Russia. Moscow, the ancestral capital of the Tsars, was founded by Yiry Dolgoruky in 1147. It is build around the walled citadel of the Kremlin, a treasure house of ancient cathedrals, palaces and museums. Since 12th century Moscow has been the center of the Russian Empire. St-Petersburg, Russia's pride, a museum and a world in itself, was created by contrast out of nothing but will of one man - tsar Peter the Great. Call it as you wish - Northern Venice, Palmyra of the North, Northern Aurora. But none of these can fully express its beauty and fascinating elegance. Most of itineraries focus on Moscow, the center of current political transformation and St. Petersburg - the gorgeous Tsarist capital on the banks of Neva River. These cities are enjoyable at any time of year. Veliky Novgorod is located North-West of the European part of Russia, 180 kilometers away from Petersburg and 606 kilometers away from Moscow. Veliky Novgorod represents ancient history of Russia.
