RUB shoulders with the high rollers at one of Moscow’s exclusive casinos or nightclubs; prices aren’t cheap, but what would you expect in a city that is home to more billionaires than anywhere else in the world?!
IMAGINE yourself as Anna Karenina or Count Vronsky as you promenade the length of the Nevskiy Prospekt, the main throroughfare that cuts an imposing swathe through architecturally unsurpassed St Petersburg.
KNOCK back a stakan or two of the national drink, vodka, with your Russian hosts – soon to be firm friends – whose devotion to the spirit knows no bounds.
ESCAPE the hectic pace of these two buzzing global cities by hopping on a bus or ferry to Kuskovo or the Kirov Islands, real havens of tranquillity and beauty.
