Hello roothrock-ga,
According to the World Travel and Tourism Council, it?s pretty evenly divided.
?The most popular trips among foreigners are cultural tours of
Russia's historical centers. Vladimir Strzhalkovsky, head of the
Russian Federal Tourism Agency, says that 37% of visitors want to see
Moscow, and 39% are drawn to St. Petersburg. The third most popular
area is the Golden Ring??

So, if you look at St. Petersburg, since it has the highest amount of
tourist that come to Russia, and look for the most popular tourist
attraction there, it is Letnyi Sad (Summer Gardens). According to
Yahoo Travel, it is the #1 tourist attraction.
