In addition to the many tours and field trips to industrial and cultural locations of interest, students also go to Moscow to visit such places as St. Basil's cathedral, Red Square, the Kremlin and Arbot Street. The trip home usually includes a two or three day stopover in London. Here students will have time to begin the readjustment process and to visit the sites in London.
