About Russia
Russia, the largest country on Earth, spans eleven time zones and offers an extraordinary variety of experiences. Its cultural and historical heart lies in Moscow, home to the Kremlin, Red Square, and the colorful domes of St. Basil’s Cathedral. To the northwest, St. Petersburg dazzles with its imperial palaces, grand canals, and world-class museums such as the Hermitage.
Beyond its cities, Russia is a land of breathtaking landscapes and adventure. The legendary Trans-Siberian Railway takes travelers across endless steppes, forests, and mountains, connecting Moscow to Vladivostok on the Pacific coast. In Siberia, Lake Baikal, the world’s deepest freshwater lake, offers pristine natural beauty and opportunities for hiking, boating, and winter sports. The Caucasus Mountains and Kamchatka Peninsula reveal rugged peaks, active volcanoes, and unique wildlife.
Russia’s cultural richness extends from classical ballet, literature, and music to vibrant modern art and festivals. Its diverse regions reflect a mix of European and Asian influences, with local traditions, cuisines, and lifestyles that vary widely across the vast territory.
Whether exploring historic cities, traveling across continents by rail, or immersing in its natural wonders, Russia promises a journey filled with grandeur, discovery, and unforgettable contrasts.
