Visit Star City - home of Russia’s Space Program - and where all cosmonauts have received their specialist training since Yuri Gagarin, the first cosmonaut in space in 1961. Star City or more correctly - Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Centre has been the training centre for every cosmonaut since Gagarin.
Inside a Soviet Bunker
Head 65 meters underground to a Stalinist-era Soviet Bunker that up until recently was a top secret symbol of Soviet Power. This mighty 75,000-square-foot facility was constructed covertly in the 1950s, to protect the select few against a US nuclear attack. Step back in time to the clandestine and tense era of the Cold War and enjoy an interactive tour of this bunker turned museum, with an English speaking guide.
Novgorod Countryside Stay
Escape the bustling city of St Petersburg with an overnight stay in a country house in ancient Novgorod. Your visit begins with a tour of the historic Kremlin (Fortress) grounds and the open air museum of Russian wooden architecture. You’ve free time to admire Novgorod - listed by UNESCO as one of the top 100 cities of the world. Why not soak up the views from a leisurely walk along the Volkhov river, visit one of the great medieval abbeys, or wander round the quaint shops and bars.
