Russia has always identified as a country with lots of tourist attractions. The tourism industry in Russia evolved a lot during the last two decades, even the cities that no tourist would have chosen as their travel destination, currently have millions of visitors annually; Sochi for instance, several travel agencies now have tours to Sochi while a decade ago there were a few persons who would have liked to visit Sochi. The variety of tourist attractions in Russia including historical, religious, politics, artistic, and cultural attractions made travel agencies including the Star Travel Group to offer several tours to Russia and its top tourist-target cities to their clients.
Top Tourist Destination Cities of Russia
The tourist destination cities in Russia are a lot, but if we want to separate the top cities in terms of tourism statistics, we can mention the top three cities Moscow, St. Petersburg, and Sochi which all together bring millions of tourists from around the world to Russia annually. The Star Travel Group has been offering several tours with different options and features to each tourist destination city of Russia, and we recommend everyone who has a plan to travel to Russia for the first time to use the travel agencies’ services.
Top Attractions of Moscow
Moscow, as the capital city of Russia, has always been favored by the tourists and travel agencies, though the popularity of Moscow is mostly because of its significant attractions. The most major attraction of Moscow is the Kremlin complex which locates in Red Square at the center of the city. It’s safe to say that more than half of the famous attractions of Moscow are located inside these two places including St. Basil’s Cathedral, Kazan Cathedral, the Gum Mall, the Lenin’s Mausoleum, Kremlin Grand Palace, the Armory Museum, Cathedral of Archangel, Cathedral of Annunciation, Cathedral of Dormition, Ivan the Great Bell Tower, the Church of Twelve Apostles and the Patriarch Palace, the Kremlin Palace of the Congresses, the Resurrection Gate, and many more significant attractions that we can’t let them slip easily.
Top Attractions of St. Petersburg
Just like Moscow, St. Petersburg has been hosting millions of tourists every year. Given the numbers of cultural and artistic attractions in St. Petersburg, this city was able to attract millions of people who love to learn more about Russia culture and the history of art in Russia toward itself, from these attractions we can mention the Hermitage Museum, the Peter and Paul Fortress, the Faberge Museum, the Kazan Cathedral, the Dostoevsky Memorial Museum, the Memorial Museum of Alexander Pushkin, and several other significant attractions inside the famous Nevsky Street. There are also several famous theater halls inside St. Petersburg that have a work calendar of ballet performances, opera and plays, classical music concerts, and other music concerts which are considered to be one of the main artistic attractions of Russia.
Top Restaurants of Russia
Food can directly affect the quality of your trip. The right choice can create one of the significant memories of your travel to Russia while a wrong decision can completely ruin your trip. Most tourists who travel to Russia prefer to eat at cheap restaurants near the tourist attractions; though they would save some money and time, it might also result in low-quality food. Our experts at the Star Travel Group have searched for the top restaurants with fair prices near the Russia major attractions so they can offer the top restaurants of Russia plus the best Russian traditional dishes to you.
Best Hotels of Russia
As mentioned, Russia has lots of tourist attractions, given that it’s critical to choose the right hotel on your travel to Russia. You should analyze several criteria before booking a hotel, and the first and most important one is the location of your hotel, plus if it has good enough access to the main places of the city or not. Then you should investigate the quality of services and the prices. We at the Star Travel Group have been operating in Russia for more than a decade, and relying on the experiences that we’ve gained during these years, we can help you book the best hotel on your trip to Russia. Currently, we would suggest the Golden Ring hotel, the Carinthia Hotel, Izmailova hotel, Moskva hotel, Niaho hotel, and Aerostar hotel based on those criteria.
Travel to Russia
One of the popular tourist destinations during summer is Russia; it’s not a very strange event because of the White Night Festival that takes place there throughout the summer. Given the number of attractions and recreational opportunities in Russia, it’s best to research your travel destination in Russia beforehand. One of the prime elements that you should think about before the start of your journey, is your aim of the travel because your travel destination may change based on your purpose of trip; whether it’s recreational or a journey with an intention to understand the Russia history or a travel with an aim to learn about Russian culture and history of art in Russia or even all objects in one journey.
Russia Visa
Before you begin your travel to Russia, you need to check if it’s necessary to get a Russia visa beforehand or not. The Russia policies for a visa are different in each country, so if you need more information about that matter, you can check the Russia Foreign Ministry website, or visit the Russia embassy in your home country. The Star Travel Group, just like a few other travel agencies, would appeal for a Russia visa for our clients because the satisfaction of our travelers is our main object.
Russia Weather
Russia is a pretty vast country which has several kinds of weather; Sochi, for instance, has sea, forest, and mountains altogether, which results in an interesting mixture of weather. Russia usually has pleasant weather during spring and summer, but it has a tough winter; still, each season has its fans. Given all of that, we'd recommend the summer if you want to travel to Russia for the first time.
