Overview:
This is a Moscow City Break with a difference. You will see the major sights of the Russian capital as well as get an insight in the history of space exploration. The Star City was created in 1960, 30 km from Moscow, and has trained over four hundred space travellers from more than 30 countries. In 1961, the Soviet Union Air Force pilot Yuri Gagarin blasted off into space aboard Vostock 1 and became the first man in space. Cosmonaut Training Center in the Star City now bears his name and has been the training centre for every cosmonaut since Gagarin. As Star City is a live training centre, order of the tours may change.
Holiday price is from £1,395 per person based on availability and sharing a standard double or twin room at Radisson Blu Belorusskaya Hotel.
