Moscow is in the heart of Russia. It is not only the capital and the largest city in Europe – for hundreds of years Moscow has been the cultural, business and scientific center of Russia. The Kremlin, the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour, the Red Square, the "Seven Sisters", the Ostankino Tower and other historical places situated in Moscow are known all over the world. Museums and galleries, theatres and concerts are waiting to be discovered for people coming to Moscow.
