Moscow is the largest city in Europe and is a major city in Russia and was the capital of the Soviet Union before it was disbanded. This economic and financial centre, ex capital and home of the Russian parliament may seem like an unlikely holiday destination but it is a very popular one. Apart fro discovering the very interesting history of the city, there is also a great number of architectural pleasing buildings to admire. There are also great cultural attractions such as the ballet, music scene, theatres and circuses. There are many parks and gardens to discover and being a capital city, the transport links are fantastic.
