Russian Wonders.
St.
Petersburg.
In my opinion, it is the most
magnificent city in Russia.
It used to be the capital of Russia
and each ruler of the country tried to make it more and more beautiful. The Town-on-Neva
looks amazing. You can spend the whole day, admiring elegant architecture, the
number of historic buildings, whose noble ancient look creates a unique
romantic atmosphere. But not only the beauty of the city
attracts millions of tourists every season. There are plenty of
churches, exhibitions and galleries, so the lovers of history, religion and art
will definitely find something new to them. I would like to mention the
world-class art-gallery Hermitage, which is famous all over the world and for
sure, is worth visiting.
Krasnoyarsk
Pillars.
I suppose that this place is
worth seeing. Huge rocks look like stone giants and create dramatic scenery. If
you climb over one of them, you’ll be able to see the whole town below. This
view is really breathtaking. Krasnoyarsk Pillars are an ideal place for
adventure sports lovers. Climbing over the rocks, enjoying picturesque scenery
- isn’t it wonderful? Besides, Krasnoyarsk Pillars are surrounded by old giant
trees, and teaming wildlife is also amazing. The only disadvantage is that
people who are not physically fit get exhausted and are not able to feel all
the joy of being in this place. There are some places of attraction in Krasnoyarsk itself- for
example, hotel “Kolos”.
Moscow.
Moscow is the modern capital
of Russia and doesn’t have
such an “ancient spirit” like St.
Petersburg does. The buildings are mainly modern, in
hi-tech style. The population in Moscow
is enormously high, so the streets are really bustling. In addition, Moscow has a lively
nightlife, just like most of world capitals.
Of course that doesn’t mean there are only skyscrapers and clubs in Moscow. There are plenty
of places to go sightseeing, lots of exhibitions, galleries and spectacular
buildings as well. Moscow in Russia is just like New
York in the USA.
What I want to say is that it attracts people a lot. Many people come to the
city every year to find their way in life or to find a job. Besides, lots of
young people come to get a university degree, because a great number of
prestigious universities are situated in Moscow.
