 Russia Tours -
Most popular tourist destinations in Russia are Moscow and Saint
Petersburg, the current and the former capitals of the country
and great cultural centers, recognized as World Cities.
Moscow is the capital of
Russia, vibrant and at the same time tranquil, an exaggerated
version of everything you can get in Russia, as if conforming
the quality of Russian character to push everything to extreme.
St. Petersburg is a
beautiful city of channels and impressive architecture, is
completely untypical Russian city. Being the closest Russian
city to Europe St.Petersburg expresses everything European
Russia has to offer, but in a unique and a strange way mixing
with old traditions.
Geography: The Russian
Federation is the largest of the 21 republics that make up the
Commonwealth of Independent States. Russia occupies most of the
Eastern Europe and North Asia, stretching from the Baltic Sea in
the west to the Pacific Ocean in the east, and from the Arctic
Ocean in the north to the Black Sea and the Caucasus in the
south. Russia is bordered by Norway and Finland in the
northwest; Estonia, Latvia, Belarus, Ukraine, Poland, and
Lithuania in the west; Georgia and Azerbaijan in the southwest;
and Kazakhstan, Mongolia, China, and North Korea along the
southern border.
Best time to travel: The
best time to visit the both cities is, perhaps, May, June,
September, January and February. In the end of June & beginning
of July St. Petersburg becomes a really special place - there's
daylight all day long. This period is called "White Nights" and
is definitely worth seeing.
