At leisure in the city to allow you some time to explore under your own steam. We suggest visiting the Tretyakov Art Gallery, the Pushkin Art Gallery and Novodivichy Convent. We particularly like the Novodivichy Convent for its views over the city. Have a wander, too, around its cemetery, where many of Russia's great and good are buried. Look out for the graves of Yeltsin, Chekhov and Bulgakov.

Climb to the viewing terrace on the colonnade if you have a head for heights and don't mind the steep ascent.
