Tourism in Russia
Since 2000, tourism in Russia has developed at an astonishing pace. Today it is as safe, easy-to-get-to and interesting as any of its European neighbours. Yet, despite its appeal, the biggest country on earth remains a bit of a secret destination. Travellers who take the road less travelled to Russia will be rewarded with a diverse and sophisticated Eurasian culture, some of the planet’s most spectacular natural wonders and more than twenty UNESCO world heritage sites. The lack of crowds and favourable exchange rate is just the cherry on top of Russia’s many attractions that make it a dream destination.
Why visit Russia?
Culture: Neither European nor Asian, Russia’s geography has resulted in a unique culture. Marvel at the elegance of Russia’s ballerinas, try your hand at rustic Slavic crafts and sip piping hot tea from a samovar while on our Russian culture tours.
Adventure: If you long to step where no man has stepped before, our Russian adventure tours are for you. Whether you dream of conquering Europe’s highest peak, sailing down its longest river or chugging down its longest rail route, we have a tour that can make that dream come true.
People: From the Cossacks to the Yakut reindeer herders, Russia is an incredibly diverse nation. Our ethnic tours take you to the countryside where ancient traditions still live on.
Winter: There is nothing quite like Russia in winter. Troika rides, ice-sculpture excursions and vatrushka (traditional Russian sleds) rentals can all be included in our tours.
