Spend a festive evening enjoying the evocative atmosphere of the Christmas/New Year season in Russia, as well as delicious food and unforgettable views of Russia’s capital, on this seasonal tour. Departing in the evening, the tour is designed to showcase Moscow’s Christmas trees, breath-taking festive lights, and other seasonal decorations at their best. Several years ago, Moscow adopted the European tradition of holding Christmas markets – open-air fairs that are not only places to shop but provide a vibrant festive atmosphere. This tour visits the most popular Christmas/New Year fair in Moscow, the GUM Fair, which takes place on the legendary Red Square. At the fair, you can try traditional Russian dishes like pancakes with caviar, pies, and baked potatoes, and traditional drinks like mead and sbiten. You can also look for traditional Russian souvenirs (such as felt boots, nesting dolls, and Pavlovo Posad shawls) and Christmas presents for yourself and your loved ones. Moscow: Christmas/New Year Evening Tour ends with a dinner cruise on one of the all-weather panoramic yachts of the Radisson Royal flotilla. From your viewpoint on the Moscow River, admire the city’s historical buildings shining with festive lights. Welcome to Christmas in Moscow!
