So, I have a flight to Russia booked for the wife and I. We fly into Moscow a few days after Christmas and will stay for 16 days. We have never been there before so I was hoping to tap the CP brain trust for some suggestions. Moscow and St. Petersburg are a must but we are interested in side trips or additional locations as well as things to do/see while there. So far the standard sights in both cities are on the list as well as a trip to the Bolshoi to see the Nutcracker.

I am not against flying around to visit somewhere but don't want to spend the trip traveling.

Neither of us speak fluent Russian although we are learning and should have a beginners understanding of reading and writing before we get there.

Thanks
