Apart from Sochi, Moscow ,the Russian capital, will be a hot place to visit in the frosty winter of Russia. Moscow is home to many famous attractions that will look magnificent in the snow, such as the 450 plus year old St. Basil's Cathedral in the famous Red Square plaza. The cathedral stands tall over its viewers who ponder how someone would build such a astonishing cathedral. Then you are memorized when you see its colorful towers that glimmer when the sun hits their iced surfaces. The Red Square is often referred to as the center point of Moscow and is home to awe inspiring architecture dating back to 1506. The Red Square holds several cathedrals such as the St. Bail's and Kazan Cathedral. It also hosts the state museum for people who want to immerse themselves into the fascinating Russia culture and history. Then there is the Kremlin which housed Joseph Stalin during the Soviet Union era and is home to some of the most elegant stair cases in the world.

In Russia everywhere you step there is a piece of history waiting to be told. Everywhere you look, there is beautiful architecture or vast uncharted wilderness. Imagine yourself in a winter wonder-land where you can watch the Olympic games with the world from your mountain top resort. Or you can travel back in time in the historic city of Moscow where you can see 500 year old cathedrals or walk through vast museums. People still think Russia is a communist wasteland full of drunk people. This is simply not true, Russia has changed. Twenty Five million people a year discover this. The question is, when will you discover the truth.
