Where to go in Russia for your first time
For first time visitors, it’s important not to miss both Moscow and St Petersburg. Many first timers will also include the trans-Siberian railway.
Moscow – First time visitors should not miss a visit to the Russian capital. The Red Square, St Basil’s Cathedral, the Kremlin…. there really is so much to see here in Moscow and these highlights just scratch the surface. If you’re a history buff, you won’t pass up the offer to have an insight into Russian history by visiting the capital.
St Petersburg – Often regarded as the more touristy city to visit in Russia (which it is), St Petersburg is a true gem that should certainly be visited on your first visit to Russia. It will feel as though you have stepped inside a time warp with the most incredible architecture, sunny summers, and fantastic palaces to visit.
