Central Russia
Central Russia or the Central Federal District is one of the
seven federal districts of Russia. However, Central Russia is
not in the center of the Russian land mass as one might presume,
but rather in the extreme West of Russia ? in what might be
called the center of historic Russia. Central Russia is made up
of many cities and towns ? the most well known being Moscow.
Central Russia has a lot of treats to offer the discerning
traveler. You can visit the Kremlin, Red Square, The Pushkin
Museum of Fine Arts, The Tretyakov Gallery and The Novodevichy
Monastery ? each a feast for the eyes. There are a lot of other
things to see here too, and if you'd like to spend time in a few
different cities in this region, the Golden Circle is a trip
worth taking.
The amazing city of Moscow has a series of circles which radiate
outwards from the Kremlin. One of these circles is called the
Garden Ring which is where many famous sights are situated. The
Kremlin itself is a magnificent walled structure which dates
back to the founding of the city in 1147 and it was the seat of
government for many years. The Red Square was originally a
market place but more recently has been used for parades. The
nearby St Basil's Cathedral carries the signature domed roofs of
Russia and is perhaps the most famous Russian image. The Pushkin
Museum of Fine Arts has an impressive collection of art from all
ages ? Egyptian right through to 20th century art. Much of the
art is from notable artists and the collection is definitely a
gem in Russia's crown.
