Moscow is the barometer and nucleus of the changes sweeping through Russia. Nowhere are Russia's contrasts more apparent than here - ancient monasteries and ultra-modern monoliths stand side by side, and 'New Russian' millionaires and poverty-stricken pensioners walk the same streets.

Moscovites now prefer international name brands to monolithic department stores, and the beautiful churches vandalised or abandoned during the Soviet era of hardline atheism are being lovingly restored. But the real flavour of this city is in its nooks and crannies, each of them unique.

The underground service deep beneath the city of Moscow is absolutely amazing. Each station is decorated in a particularly ornate style, and you can see works of art and chandeliers. It is totally different from a trip on the London underground because as well as travelling you get to experience some Russian culture. The trains seemed to be relatively frequent and the only problem we had was being able to read the names of the stations as they were all in the Cyrillic alphabet! However, it is a good way to get to visit different parts of the city as it covers many areas.
