On this itinerary you visit Imperial St Petersburg, the vibrant metropolis of Moscow, and as a complete contrast, rural Suzdal. Suzdal has been almost "frozen in time", and you can see its many churches and cathedrals, as you stroll down quiet lanes where the chickens and goats still snuffle for food.
