Moscow and Saint Petersburg are two very different cities. First, Moscow is much older than Saint Petersburg – the today's capital was founded in 1147, while Saint Petersburg appeared only in 1703. So, Saint Petersburg is 556 years younger than Moscow. Second, Saint Petersburg is often called a city of bridges, but the number of bridges in Moscow is not very great. Third, Moscow can be proud of its Kremlin. Saint Petersburg has a lot of other places of interest, but there is no Kremlin in that city.

Moscow occupies a larger territory than Saint Petersburg. Moscow's population is also larger. As a result, the capital's streets are busier than those of Saint Petersburg – there are more people and cars. Very often there are big traffic jams in Moscow, because of which people have to spend a lot of time to get from home to work and back.

Saint Petersburg is situated on the shores of the Baltic Sea and therefore has a sea port. Moscow is located deep in the continent and has river ports only. The climate of Saint Petersburg is less comfortable than that of Moscow – in Moscow there are more pleasant, sunny and dry days. The two cities' symbols are also different. Moscow's key symbol is Red Square with its buildings, while Saint Petersburg is mainly known for its Palace Square.
