As I walked through the park by the Kremlin, my attention was divided between its towers and the pretty girls. Moscow is a beautiful city in many ways. It has history and it has now regained its spirit; it is equally suited to self-indulgent hedonism and to philosophising. It has wide boulevards and narrow alleys, luxury and culture. It’s big city but the quintessence of Moscow can be found in a small space.

The Moscow Kremlin – Kremel, sometimes referred to as simply The Kremlin, is a historic fortified complex at the heart of Moscow, overlooking the Moskva River (to the south), Saint Basil’s Cathedral and Red Square (to the east) and the Alexander Garden (to the west). It is the best known of kremlins (Russian citadels) and includes four palaces, four cathedrals and the enclosing Kremlin Wall with Kremlin towers. The complex serves as the official residence of the President of the Russian Federation.

A giant among the icons of Russia, home to the stars, Stalin, Khrushchev and Brezhnev, but also Gorbachov and Yeltsin. Despite its from the outside high red crenellated walls buttressed with tall pointed towers, it looks more spacious than from the inside. What you will find inside the walls is perhaps the highest density of churches anywhere in the world. Inside, these temples are unexpectedly cramped, chockfull of icons and topped with onion-like domes that glister in the sun. The government buildings are not open to the public but if you ask any of the uniformed guards shere the president’s seat is, he will discreetly gesture with his head. Of course, you will find here also the famous massive cannon that children play beneath and huge church bell. Then you take a couple of steps and you find yourself in the garden. Beautiful flowerbeds and trees – in the blistering heat you can join the others on the lawn and no one will order you out.

The Red Square was the landing stage and trade center for Moscow. Ivan the Great decreed that trade should only be conducted from person to person, but in time, these rules were relaxed and permanent market buildings began appearing on the square. After a fire in 1547, Ivan the Terrible reorganized the lines of wooden shops on the eastern side into market lines. The streets Ilyinka and Varvarka were divided into the Upper lines (now GUM department store), Middle lines and Bottom lines, although Bottom Lines were already in Zaryadye).

The State Tretyakov Gallery  (Russian: Государственная Третьяковская Галерея, Russian: ГТГ) is an art gallery in Moscow, Russia, the foremost depository of Russian fine art in the world.

The gallery’s history starts in 1856 when the Moscow merchant Pavel Mikhailovich Tretyakov acquired works by Russian artists of his day with the aim of creating a collection, which might later grow into a museum of national art. In 1892, Tretyakov presented his already famous collection to the Russian nation.

The Arbat (Russian About this sound Арба́т (help·info)) is an approximately one-kilometer long pedestrian street in the historical centre of Moscow. The Arbat has existed at least since the 15th century, thus laying claim to being one of the oldest surviving streets of the Russian capital. It forms the heart of the Arbat District of Moscow. Originally the street formed part of an important trade route and was home to a large number of craftsmen.

In the 18th century, the Arbat came to be regarded by the Russian nobility as the most prestigious living area in Moscow. The street was almost completely destroyed by the great fire during Napoleon’s occupation of Moscow in 1812 and had to be rebuilt. In the 19th and early 20th centuries it became known as the a place where petty nobility, artists, and academics lived. In the Soviet period, it was the home of many high-ranking government officials.

Festival starts the previous evening, and continues through the night. People come from around the world to see what the fuss is about. If you want to join in, plan ahead – hotels need to be booked at least six months in advance. Buildings everywhere are draped with flags, and orange ribbons add extra splashes of colour to the familiar red, white and blue stripes. The locals dont need tmuch encouragement to dress in orange, as they do so for many sporting events, especially when the national football team is involved. But this is something else.

Everyone lets their hair down. Some are clad from head to food in bright costumes – the more outrageous the better – and its difficult not ot have a good time when the world and his wife are decked out in such garish hues. Everything else turns orange too, from the fluttering bunting to the food and drinks. Although festivities are citywide, the Jodraan district is particularly popular. The streets here become so jam-packed with pedestrians that they are effectively gridlocked, despite cars being banned for the day.

All around the sound of music and frivolity permeates the air, as DJ’s and bands compete to pump out jazz, classical, rock and techno. Every year, the biggest outdoor concerts are held on Mueumplein and Rembrandtplein, sponsored by local radio stations. There are parades, street theatre and fireworks, and the canals themselves become a hive of activity, as anyone who can takes o a barge or houseboat to party on the water.

Over in the relative safety of the less watery Vondelpark, entertainment focuses on families and children. Its a day to forget our cares and concentrate on having a good time, says Bart Niemand, a local busienssman. »With so many people busy enjoying themselves it creates and unbelievable vibe«. For those who love second-hand shopping, there’s another source of distratction. All street trading laws are suspended for the day, and no taxes are payable on any goods sold. This ‘vrijmarkt’ (free market) gives everyone the chance to clear out the attic and sell their market, as people set up stalls or blakets in parks and on pavements.Prices are always negotiable and tend to drop as the day wears on.

Queen’s Day

Is a riot of music, friendship, dancing and entertainers. But its the unbelievable swathes of orange that linger in the memory. Queen’s Day is a celebration of national unity and togetherness (‘saamhorigheid’ in Dutch), and there it definitely exceeds expectations.

There are three things that are immediately noticeable when you arrive in Amsterdam. Firstly the Dutch are tall, very tall. Secondly, bicycles have the right of way and there are a lot of them (12,000 bikes get dredged out of the canals annually). Thirdly, Amsterdam is a beautiful city where life flows along in a relaxed fashion. There’s also plenty of culture in Amsterdam. The Rijksmuseum, the largest museum in the Netherlands, is famous for works by Dutch masters such as Rembrandt, Vermeer and Hals.

The Van Gogh Museum houses some 200 paintings and 550 sketches showing the artist in all his moods. The Civic Guards Gallery, which is free, (Schuttersgalerij) offers more paintings from the Dutch Golden Age. Another great Amsterdam tradition is its cafe culture. At every corner there’s a cafe, from jaor chains to small and intimate places with crazy sairs and low beams that hark back to a nage when people were shorter. They are the perfect places to watch Amsterdam’s life go past.

But the Dutch also know how to be festive and Holland’s ‘Koninginnedag’ – the Queen’s birthday celebrations on April 30 – has a special place in every Dutchman’s heart. It attracts millions of partygoers, and every year it just gets bigger. Amsterdam turns into the world’s largest flea market with thousands of stalls springing up in every available space.
