Russia Travel Guide

Article Written By: puretravel

Russia is a vast place that has been rarely explored fully to all corners. With the country being so wide, the most convenient means of transport around and between the attraction sites is by air. There are several charter plane companies that offer transport services around and to the places you need to visit.

Moscow is a great place to start your holiday in Russia. Here you can find so many night clubs if you love dancing and drinking. You can dance to great the pop tunes that the DJ play all night for the audience and if you want VIP treatment, there are VIP lounges where you will get that special treatment from the crowd. Moscow is also full of restaurants where you can go and enjoy sumptuous meals.

St. Petersburg is another location worth visiting. This is a city that encompasses so many islands in the delta of River Neva. The city was built by Peter the Great in 1703, which is so many years ago but it still captures with its beauty and design. You can visit the boulevards, neoclassical Palace Square and the Italianate Palace while there.

Russia enjoys a wide variety of wildlife that can be seen at the Kursche Spit which is a sand peninsula covering 100 km on the coastal area. The Ussuriysk Taiga which is rich in plants of the pre-glacial period is close by for visiting.

Russia is a storehouse of rich cultural heritage as it is home to dozens of ethnic groups. All these groups have contributed to the beliefs of the country. As a result, you will find rich and varied cultural heritage, be it art, theatre, music, architecture, language or custom. It has preserved its culture in the various museums across the country. The Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, for example is full of famous Russian icons. The Heritage Museum and Russian Museum of St Petersburg are full of brilliant art collections. Old castles offer visual specimens of the past architectural achievements.

There are many churches, monasteries and cathedrals, which are excellent examples of old religious architecture. Places like Andronikov Monastery and Cathedral of the Archangel along with St Sophia Cathedral in Novgorod and Monastery of the Transfiguration on Valaam Island are all worth visiting. Visitors will appreciate the lavish decorations and the ornate fixtures within the design of these buildings.
