Places to visit in Russia
The former USSR’s historical and cultural riches are manifold: even if you’re only planning to see Moscow and St Petersburg, it can be hard to know exactly where to go in Russia. Our specialists, some of whom speak the language fluently, are intimately acquainted with the country’s powerhouse cities. They can plan a tailor-made trip that lets you explore major Russian points of interest such as the Hermitage and the Kremlin. But they’ll also nudge you to visit the cities’ lesser-known churches, museums and banyas (bathhouses).
You may also find yourself inspired to explore farther afield. Our specialists will encourage you to venture into the great expanses of unspoiled, marshy countryside to see a completely different side of Russia. You can wander around the fairytale-like, deeply Orthodox towns of the Golden Ring, witness Ekaterinberg’s poignant monuments to the Romanov dynasty, or ride the Trans-Siberian, the world’s greatest rail journey.
