Travelling to Moscow, Moskva (Russia)?

Russia is (by far) the largest country in the world. Population density outside the few major cities (Moscow, St. Petersburg) is very low. Siberia is almost "empty". The best way to see the place is either by a) taking a really, really long vacation or b) taking the Trans-siberian Railway fro Vladivostok to Moscow covering 5 time zones and 11000 kilometers.

For practical (touristic) purposes we split up Russia in 2 parts: 1) Russia in Europe and 2) Russia in Asia.

Moscow is the political and economical heart of the Russian Republic. It is also one the largest cities of Europe and the most remote capital related to other countries. Tourist will like the Kremlin, the Red Square (in summer or winter!), the metro with real art and some Orthodox churches / cathedrals. Notice that Moscow is not a cheap place to have a drink.
