Kolomenskoye Estate Museum - Kremlin and Armoury - Bolshoi Theatre
Itinerary
- Meeting with a guide at the airport.
- Transfer to Kolomenskoe estate.
- Tea with traditional Russian pancakes.
Kolomenskoye covers two banks of the Moskva River; it is a vast area of 390 ha (3,900 thousand of sq. m.). The beautiful Golosov Ovrag (Golosov Ravine) with unique geological formations is the place for three more remarkable natural sites: a family of springs called "Kadochka" ("a little water-bowl") and two huge earth-settled stones which served as objects of pagan cult worship.
The landscape park with the Linden alley dated by 19th century in the center of Kolomenskoye is a lovely piece of garden architecture; and the alley of ancient oaks situated not far from "Sytny Dvor" (The place where the provisions were stored and dishes for the tsar?s family were cooked) is the pride and joy of the museum. Those ancient trees are as old as 400 to 600 years of age; they are the oldest in Moscow area. The reconstruction of Kazansky and Voznyesyensky sady (the Kazan and the Church of Ascension gardens) and the restoration of the network of paths and roads started recently.
- Excursion to Kremlin.
- The Kremlin and Armory museum tour
The small city in the center of Moscow, once the residence of Czars and Patriarchs, contains Russia?s main cathedral, the Assumption Cathedral. The Armory collection of gold, silver and jewelry, Faberge eggs, carriages and Czarist thrones is reason enough in itself to visit Moscow.
