Besides the fact that modern Moscow is Europe’s most populous city and home to the world’s largest community of billionaires and about 11.5 million other residents, it also has a vast history, which is dramatic, diverse and sometimes downright tragic. This northernmost megacity on earth has witnessed many political eras, yet still serves as Russia's loyal capital. Moscow is also Russia’s centre of heavy and light engineering, as well as of publishing, music, science and education. The Moskva is the only river that actually flows through Moscow city, but the Volga, Kama, Oka and Dvina rivers flow through Moscow oblast or district/region. Not to mention that with four international airports, nine railway stations and world-famous Moscow metro stations, it's no surprise that this is a major transport hub. Its architecture is also renowned, e.g. the Kremlin, which means fortress or citadel, is the official residence of the Russian president. Interesting onion-domed churches and architectural and cultural sights, parks and gardens also make Moscow a fascinating city worth visiting.
