Russia’s capital Moscow is one of the greatest European cultural centres with its museums, galleries and architectural benchmarks. All these priceless attractions are both very close to the centre, and astonishingly good value for entrance tickets. 
But surpassing all of these, Moscow’s real gift to the world is the Metro system itself. Not only the world’s most popular underground railway, it is architecturally the finest two, and all for amazingly low prices. Among the ‘peoples’ palaces to be discovered are the stations at Mayakovsky, Ploshchad Revolutsy, Novoslobodskaya and Komsomolskaya.
The history of thе Moscow Kremlin goes back to olden times. The first written record of Moscow dates back to 1147, to the reign of Great PrinceYuri of Kiev, Vladimir Monomakh's son. He was nicknamed "Dolgoruky" (Long-armed), iof .e., one reaching out for other principalities, for his unification policy. Since time immemorial the Moscow Kremlin has been the centre of Russian statehood, the residence of Russian tsars and hierarchs of the Russian Orthodox Church.

The amber room is probably the most famous room in Catherine Palace, and it was used as a study. King Frederick William of Prussia gave Peter the Great the original inlaid amber panels after Peter admired them in a room in Frederick's palace. The 16-foot jigsaw-looking panels were constructed of over 100,000 perfectly fitted pieces of amber.
