Russia's Historical Small Town - Suzdal

Russia, the transcontinental country in Europe and Asia, was developed from the city of Moscow. Before the Russian capital city was even established, the history of the empire was actually started all over in a small town. In the scenic Golden Ring of Moscow, there is Suzdal which nurtured the empire of Russia. The first-ever Kremlin (kremlin means “a castle” in Russian) was built in this small town of Suzdal.

Saint Petersburg︱Winter Palace

Winter Palace, the former residence of Russian emperors, is naturally the most iconic landmark of Saint Petersburg. The palace is more than just a palace for tsars – it is also a museum. Catherine the Great renovated and expanded the palace into a great royal complex of six buildings. Apart from expanding the Russian empire, Catherine the Great was keen on collecting treasures. Famous paintings and art pieces were purchased from merchants from around the world and stored in the State Hermitage Museum of the Winter Palace. Eventually, rich collections were built up over the years.
