Novodevichy Convent
 |
Excursion to one of the Moscow’s most attractive monasteries. Novodevichy, or "New Maidens Convent" in English, was founded in a suburb of Moscow in 1524 to commemorate the liberation of Smolensk from the Lithuanians in 1514. The convent is rather like a miniature Kremlin by its architectural style. Many of the city's monasteries served as retirement homes for royal and noble women, who either chose or were forced to take the veil and remain in the safety of the convents for the rest of their lives. The Tsars and the supreme feudal nobility showed a great interest in the Novodevichy convent, rendering it all possible financial and legal support. The convent has also been a burial place for famous persons in Russian history.

Tour to Baikal
By individual request we can offer you the sightseeing tour to the Baikal lake - one of the most beautiful and ecologically clean place in the world.
Even if you only stay here for a short while and see but a tiny bit of it, you can get the feel of Baikal, absorb the spirit of the place.
That spirit of Baikal is something special, something that actually exists, something that makes you believe old legends and pause to wonder, with mystic misgivings, whether man is at liberty to do as he deems fit in certain places. One would have expected Baikal to overwhelm man with its grandeur and its immensity - everything about it is so big, so spacious, so free, and so baffling - yet, on the contrary, it ennobles man. Here you experience a rare sensation of uplift and spirituality, as if, within sight of eternity and perfection, you too have been touched by the mysterious influence of these magic concepts, you too are enveloped in the breath of the omnipotent presence, and a part of the magic secret of everything that exists has entered into you. You are marked and singled out simply because you are standing on this shore, breathing this air and drinking this water. Nowhere else will you feel so much at one with nature.
