Discover Russia
What time of year is best for travel?
Summer, especially from June to August, is the ideal time for you to visit Russia if you enjoy good weather and taking advantage of the long daylight hours. During this season, temperatures range between 20 and 30°C, allowing you to explore cities and the countryside with total comfort. Additionally, you must not miss the White Nights Festivals in St. Petersburg, an unmissable cultural event.
If you are looking for a more economical and less crowded option, consider traveling during the "off-peak season," from April to May and from September to October. During these months, the weather is cooler, with temperatures ranging between 10 and 20°C, but still pleasant for sightseeing. On the other hand, keep in mind that in winter, temperatures can drop to -30°C. However, this season offers you the unique opportunity to experience the famous Northern Lights, especially in regions like Murmansk, where the natural spectacle reaches its peak splendor.
How far in advance should you make your reservations?
If you are planning to travel to Russia and want to optimize your budget, it is best to start organizing everything between 3 and 6 months before your trip. This period is when you can generally find flights at more affordable prices. Additionally, it will allow you to choose from a wide range of hotels, from the most luxurious to the most affordable, without having to compromise on quality or amenities.
An important tip when traveling to Russia: avoid dates of significant events, such as international festivals or football matches. During these occasions, accommodation prices tend to skyrocket and availability decreases rapidly.
What should you see during your trip?
In Russia, you can't miss the Kremlin and Red Square in Moscow, but there is much more to discover. If you are a lover of history and art, St. Petersburg will fascinate you. The Hermitage Museum has one of the most impressive art collections in the world. And don't forget to visit the Peterhof Palace, known as the "Russian Versailles".
If you prefer less conventional experiences, how about a journey on the Trans-Siberian train? It is a unique opportunity to appreciate spectacular landscapes and discover the authentic Russia, away from the big cities.
For adventurers, climbing Mount Elbrus in the Caucasus represents an exciting challenge. On the other hand, if you are looking for tranquility, Lake Baikal, the deepest freshwater lake in the world, is perfect for hiking and camping.
Culture also takes center stage in Russia. Ballet and opera theaters can be found throughout the country, not only in the big cities. It would be a memorable experience to attend a performance in one of the historic theaters. Additionally, for enthusiasts of military history, a visit to Volgograd, the former Stalingrad, is essential.
