Russia Travel

Russia is the largest country in the world geographically and has been at the heart of global politics for more than a century. Everyone enters Russia with some preconceptions of what to expect and how the nation will welcome them. Few leave with those same expectations, overcome by the natural generosity of its people, the contradictions of its modern society and the richness of its history.

There are several sides to Russia - with a nation so large, there are bound to be not just different locales, but entirely different cultures across its vast landscapes. To most in the west, it is European Russia that stands out. It is Moscow and St. Petersburg, home to the spectacular architecture of the Kremlin and the exceptional stores of the National Museums, where the wealth of the nation's one-time leaders is on display for the world to see. Russia is home to some of the world's greatest writers, composers, and artists. You can visit the home of Tolstoy, see the plays of Chekhov, or listen to the original presentation of Tchaikovsky.

Once you leave the confines of the nation's biggest cities, there is quite literally an entire world at your fingertips. To visit Russia is to explore the sparse but evocative landscapes of Siberia, the regional hot spots of Irkutsk, or the iconic train rides across the sweeping countryside. It is a massive undertaking to see all of Russia and you'll visit multiple times to see even a portion of it, but each trip will be an eye-opening experience unlike anything you've done before.
