Memories of the Russian Empire Free Walking Tour

Overview of the tour in Moscow

This walking tour is for those who want insight to the vast legacy of the Russian Empire that brought to the world great artists and scientists, painters and architects whose masterpieces, unlike their creators, miraculously escaped the horrors and disasters of the October Revolution. During our walk, you will see beautiful buildings and mansions of various architectural styles that have become an embodiment of its owners' success and zest for life. In addition, you will get to know why there was an attempt to blow up a monument of Peter the Great and which historical building was saved in the last minute by passionate soviet people. While the Kremlin, Red Square, and even Stalin's Moscow are crowded with foreign visitors, the places of interest that are proposed on this tour are mainly unknown to the average tourist. So, let's change this order of things.
