The tour will cover the Red Square, the New Virgin Monastery and Sparrow Hills in order to give you an insight into Moscow and the institutions that give it its unique character. The Red Square is not only the symbolic center of Moscow: the adjacent Kremlin is the political as well as the religious center of the country and only a few steps away is one of the most expensive shopping malls in the country. In addition to the Red Square and the New Virgin Monastery that dates back to the 16th century and was a place of exile for unsavory women of the tsarist families, the highlights of this guided tour will include sparrow hills. From the observation platform at the base of the Moscow State University, which boasts one of the "seven sisters" or skyscrapers that are a remnant of the Stalinist architectural endeavors, one has the best view over Moscow.
