wealth in Russia. The 1,000-year-old town on the shores of Limen Lake is a major centre of Russian culture.

DAY 4 NOVGOROD ST PETERSBURG (Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner)

the Kremlin, St Sophia Cathedral was inspired by the Byzantine church in Constantinople, which is the present

from the Old and New Testaments. Continue your journey to St Petersburg, the most western city in Russia and

fourchettes during intervals, in the evening.

Fortress. Next, continue to St Isaacs Cathedral, the largest Orthodox cathedral in Russia. Do not miss the
Cruiser Aurora and the Memorial to the Siege of Leningrad which serve as a poignant reminder of the fateful
events of World War II. See the splendid Cathedral of Kazan before you proceed to tour the spectacular The
State Hermitage Museum, which is one of the worlds largest museums and was once the Tsars winter
residential palace.

DAY 6 ST PETERSBURG (Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner)

sparkling diamond of unique beauty, now known as Peterhof. Be mesmerized by the Great Cascade, which cuts
into the natural shores terrace, and acts as a pedestal for the Great Palace and also the entire attractions focal
centre. The palace, stretching for nearly 300 metres and blending with the natural environment, is a superb
example of the harmony of earthly and heavenly features. The dcor of all the rooms in the palace, executed by
Rastrelli, corresponds to the complex ceremonies of court etiquette with a deliberately pompous theatrical
replication of life in the palace in a presentation that is majestically regal and luxuriously beautiful.
