A territory with continental dimensions
From Red Square to the shores of Lake Baikal, Russia unveils a millennia-old architectural heritage and preserved natural spaces. The golden domes of Moscow resonate with Orthodox chanting while the Trans-Siberian railway crosses the taiga for thousands of kilometers. Between imperial palaces and traditional wooden villages, each region cultivates its own traditions.
Russian immensity is discovered at the pace of its contrasting seasons, from the white nights of Saint Petersburg to the northern lights of Murmansk. Your local English-speaking agent designs an itinerary that respects distances and privileges authentic encounters with Slavic culture.
What to absolutely see in Russia?
The Kremlin and Saint Basil's Cathedral embody the soul of Moscow, while the Hermitage and Peterhof Palace reveal the imperial grandeur of Saint Petersburg. The Golden Ring unveils preserved Orthodox monasteries such as Sergiev Posad and Suzdal. Lake Baikal, the pearl of Siberia, offers crystal-clear waters and unique biodiversity. The Trans-Siberian Railway connects these wonders while crossing eight time zones.
What type of trip should you choose?
A tailor-made trip to Russia requires 12 to 21 days to appreciate the distances. History enthusiasts favor the Moscow-Saint Petersburg axis with the Golden Ring, while nature lovers opt for Siberia and Kamchatka. Budget to plan: €3,200/person minimum for a luxury itinerary including flights, visas and English-speaking guidance. Winter reveals Russia under snow, summer unveils its white nights.

« Saint Petersburg is the most beautiful city in Russia and without a doubt one of the most beautiful cities in the world! The city center has been a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1990. I really recommend visiting this city at least once in your lifetime. I visited it for the first »
