The story

I had wanted to go to Russia for a long time, but with the political situation that existed before I never felt like it. But now that it has changed we finally set off. St. Petersburg is a fairy tale even as a city; from the canals you can clearly see its palaces of rare beauty. The Hermitage alone is worth the whole holiday. Churches to spare and the summer residences of the Tsars that leave you breathless. Moscow is very different; you can still see the old buildings commissioned by the Soviets, and even though restored they remain the emblem of the old power. St. Basil's Cathedral, the Kremlin and Red Square are worth it, and then here too many churches and monasteries. But it was all worth it, everything as beautiful as we expected, except the food. Hi everyone and HAPPY TRAVELS to those setting off
