Dynamic and multi-faced, Moscow has something to offer to everyone: the magni�cent Bolshoi Theatre and Tretyakov Gallery for the connoisseur of exquisite art, Red Square and Kremlin for history lovers; medieval convents and modern business centers, numerous parks and trendy shopping malls - considering the city size even a week would be hardly enough to visit all places of interest.

It prides itself on more than 200 museums, 100 theatres, hundreds of private art galleries – that is why the city is rightly referred to as the cultural capital of Russia. Its elegant palaces and airy bridges, large promenades and stately parks honor the Belle Epoque of Russian history. The city is also called “North Venice” as it has 86 rivers and channels and more than a hundred lakes. Its 340 bridges make the city’s landscape exceptional. One of the city’s most famous attractions is so-called “White Nights”: at the beginning of summer endless twilight lasts till dawn, the city does everything but sleep.

The majority of them are situated near the two capitals though with the growth of golf community other regions open their courses as well: there is a course in Kazan, in Ural region, in Tver and on the Black Sea coast (there you can play golf all year round).
