In September 1992, Russia lifted its travel restrictions on foreigners, opening the entire country to visitors and tourists. Moscow is a major tourist destination with many attractions including Red Square, the Kremlin, St. Basil's Cathedral, and many other monasteries, churches, museums and other cultural attractions. The most famous of Moscow's parks and gardens is Gorky Park. St. Petersburg is a beautifully preserved neoclassical city with palace-lined waterways. Attractions include the State Hermitage Museum, Peter and Paul Fortress, and the Nevsky Prospekt. Football (soccer), ice hockey, and tennis are popular sports in Russia. Maria Sharapova won the Wimbledon women's title in 2004.
There were 22,521,059 visitors who arrived in Russia in 2003, about 90% of the tourists came from Europe. Tourism receipts totaled $5.8 billion that year. Hotel rooms numbered 177,200 with 364,000 beds and an occupancy rate of 34%.
In 2005, the US Department of State estimated the daily expenses of staying in Moscow at $378. Other areas were less expensive averaging $279 per day.
