Poklonnaya Hill, Victory Park

Watch Russian history come alive

Your guide will take you on a journey and reveal the extreme struggle for survival that the country encountered during the Great Patriotic War, followed by a pictorial illustration of the events that transpired during the course of the war.

In various parts of the park, you will find a memorial mosque, a memorial synagogue, a Holocaust museum, and a Russian Orthodox Church, to honour the War Heroes who laid down their lives to defend their country. You will visit the Museum of the Great Patriotic War, which contains the collection of memorabilia that paints a vivid picture of the Great Patriotic War, all of which have a different story to tell you.

Your tour guide will lead you to the exhibition of weapons, military equipment, sculptures, and war-time documents, as well as photographs taken from that period. Inside the museum, there are six remarkable war scene dioramas and an art gallery, covering in great detail, the events that occurred during the war, and the proceedings that led the Soviet Union on the road to victory. After your tour concludes, your guide will accompany you back to your accommodation.
