 Tetzel Moscow Moscow's vibe fluctuates between formal capital and cultural powerhouse. The Kremlin is at the core of political life, a building with an intimidating architectural style. Go inside, its cathedrals and museums whisper a thousand stories about tsars and churinas, patriarchs and princesses. The Kremlin is Moscow's Kremlin de la Krem. The 12th century construction began with wood and blossomed into the world's largest medieval fortress. Waltz threw red square past Lenin's mausoleum, with his century-old body lying in state to find palaces, museums and a startling art collection inside the armory, including some of the famed fagrige eggs. Wander through the world's largest gallery of Russian art. In the contemporary wing, analyze Malovich's provocative black square. Inside the main gallery, learn to separate your Kandinsky's from your Keprensky's, and then let your eyes fall on masterpieces, including Ilya Repin's famous The Volga Boatman. Tank herring for a set of Gorbachev matryoshka dolls. Got a fur trim hat fixation? Getting hard rock cafe cravings? Then take a stroll along Arbit Street, where you will find a never-ending procession of street artists, kitschy souvenir shops and the art accordion-wielding musician. Wander past the colonnades at the Vaktangoth Theatre for a whiff of Old World Moscow, or peek down side streets filled with local curiosities.
