What are the best known cities in Russia?

If you want to travel to Russia to do tourism, first of all you should think about which cities you would like to visit because reserving a train or plane ticket can be very expensive if you leave it until the last minute.

The best known cities in Russia are:

• Moscow, the capital of the country.
• Saint Petersburg , a westernized city.
• Kazan, the Tatar city.
• Vladivostok , the eastern city.
• Sochi , the winter and spa resort.
• Irkutsk , the gateway to Baikal.
• Murmansk , the most polar.
• Vladimir and Suzdal , the tsarist emblems.

If you wonder what to see in Moscow, here is the answer: a thousand things! You will need several days to discover all the mysteries of the city of the tsars, especially its architectural wonders inscribed as a UNESCO Heritage Site (such as the Novodevichy Monastery or the Saint Basil’s Cathedral). You can’t miss either:

• The Red Square
• The kremlin
• Lenin’s Mausoleum
• The Ostánkino tower
• The Cosmonaut Museum
• The Kievskaya business center

In St. Petersburg, the atmosphere is more relaxed, more like the rest of Europe. You will meet people who speak English, French and even some Spanish, and you will have no problems getting around. Don’t forget that on your visit to the city you will have the perfect opportunity to experience a white night. You cannot miss:

• The Admiralty of Saint Petersburg
• The canals of Saint Petersburg
• St. Isaac’s Cathedral
• The Aurora Cruiser
• The Hermitage museum
• The Cathedral of Our Lady of Kazan
• The basilica San
• The Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood
• The Mariinksy Theater

It is difficult to make an exhaustive list of all Russian cities, but one thing is clear: in any one you will find amazing corners.

For example, if you take the Trans-Siberian to Irkutsk, you can go full skating in one of the largest naturally occurring water reservoirs, Lake Baikal . If you are fluent in Russian, we encourage you to go to Murmansk for a walk on the tundra with a dogsled and a local guide. Adventure is guaranteed!
