Greetings, Vyacheslav Tue 12 Dec 2000 at 22:01:10 Vyacheslav Mednonogov -> Alexandr Kushnikov on the topic 4 hours! AK>> I wonder when from St. Petersburg to Moscow? It would be great AK>> if possible AK>> go for a walk to St. Petersburg: there in the morning and back in the evening. AK>> To in normal VM> And it would be more convenient for us to go to Moscow.. Visit Moscow VM> (VDNH+Mausoleum+Bolshoi Theater+Mitino) - a childhood dream ;) It won’t be possible in one day in this sequence. Better this way: Mitino, VDNH, Mausoleum, Bolshoi Theater. There are no problems with the first two, but the Mausoleum can be visit, IMHO, only in the morning and by appointment, and tickets to the Bolshoi It’s generally difficult to get and they cost a lot. True, even if you manage to visit all of this in a day, you will have to leave late at night. ;-). And when visiting St. Petersburg, I would walk along Nevsky, go to Avtovo and Scorpio. I would visit Isakievsky and take a ride on the metro - it’s cool with double doors. And of course I would drink Baltika on tap. ;-) Best regards, Alexander Kushnikov aka Sander.
