Moscow has some impressive architecture but St Petersburg is probably the better destination and was slightly cheaper.

To put it right: Moscow and St Petersburg are Europe. But Russians are definitely more asians than europeans (in positive meaning of this).

I have been to Moscow and I was not that impressed, mainly because i went to see a football and my team (Chelsea) lost.

Moscow is very big and to my opinion not very comfortable therefore. Peter is definitely better and much interesting))) But there are many other beautiful cities, like Kiev for example))) It's the capital of Ukraine, and also has own history. It's even older than Moscow

From the pictures I've seen, St. Petersburg looks like a more beautiful city. And I do agree that it has more a European taste to it compared to Moscow. Kiev does look like a great destination as does Prague.

I agree that it's one of the best places in North Asia and in addition it is the largest numbers of billionaires in the world.

I think St. Petersburg, because it was the Tzar Peter's window to the west in the old days.
