Cable Car on Sparrow Hills which are located the right bank of the Moskva River and one of the highest points in Moscow. On top of the hill, 85m above the river, is the observation platform which gives a beautiful panoramic view of the city.

Backstage tour to Bolshoi Theatre
We warmly invite you to walk along the corridors and halls of the hallowed Bolshoi Theatre – the symbol of Moscow and Russian art. With nearly 200 dancers, one of the most extensive repertoires in the world, technically the best-equipped theater in the world, and with the modern stage opened in 2002 and the historical stage reopened in 2011 after six years of work, there are not enough superlatives to describe the Bolshoi Theater. Opened in 1776 and two steps away from the Kremlin, the Bolshoi remains as one of the most vibrant and famous symbols of Russia and the Russian arts scene.
Optional: Performance at Bolshoi Theatre (for supplement cost)
