Russia
The world's largest country, Russia bewilders by its sheer size, stretching all the way from Europe to the Far East. In its history too Russia is monumental, and the legacy of Tsarist rule, best seen in the elegant city of St Petersburg, rubs shoulders with the grey inheritance of the Soviet past. Moscow feels neither East nor West, an Asiatic city still within European Russia with numerous treasures to discover, such as the Kremlin, St Basil's Cathedral and the Red Square. In St Petersburg, city of the long 'White Nights' of summer, the past comes alive in stunning museums such as the Hermitage, home to some of the finest art anywhere.
