One Week in Russia - Audiotraveller

By: Global Television, Arcadia Home Entertainment

Narrated by: James T. Brown

The tour begins with a tour of Moscow and the Kremlin, which towers on a forty meter high hill above the Moskva River. With the construction of the Kremlin, the history of the city began as the spiritual and secular center of the country.

The fascinating "cruise of the tsars" leads over rivers, canals and lakes through the former empire of the tsars, past monasteries and wooden churches to St. Petersburg.

The first travel destination is the historic town of Uglic and later Jaroslavl, one of the oldest trading cities on the Volga.

On a shore excursion, you will visit the old boyar city of Rostov Velikij on Lake Nero and the idyllic Goricy with its typical small wooden houses.

In St. Petersburg, also called "Venice of the North", magnificent buildings such as the Winter Palace with the Hermitage were built.

The modern new Circum-Baikal train is already waiting for a day trip along Lake Baikal in Port Baikal. It is one of the most difficult sections of the Trans-Siberian Railway, which runs from Moscow to Vladivostok.

Before you reach the Black Sea coast, a detour to the exotic city of Ulan Ude is worthwhile.

In the sun-drenched spa and bathing resort of Sochi, with villas, theaters and a lively promenade, you can enjoy the subtropical climate of this region.
