| Meeting Venues in Russia | Incentive Programs
 Russia is such a vast country and with that it is near impossible to pay credit to its qualities. The two major cities compliment each other beautifully—the lively capital, Moscow, one of the biggest cities in Europe with 850 years of history, a huge metropolis, and St Petersburg with it’s elegance and relative calm as created and modeled by Peter the Great many years ago. Both cities offer the traveler extensive cultural attractions among Red Square, the Kremlin and the Hermitage Museum as well as the beautiful palaces and churches, the ballets and operas, the music of Tchaikovsky and the opportunity to taste the delights of the local vodka, blinis and caviar.
