    Russia Travel Guide

    The world’s largest country Russia is situated on the Eastern side of Europe and to the North of Asia. The capital city of Russia is Moscow, and the official language is Russian. Being a large and diverse country, Russia occupies one-tenth of the land on Earth.

    The Ruble is the currency used in Russia. Earlier, a part of U.S.S.R, Russia became an independent country after the dissolution of the Soviet Union in December 1991.
    Being a huge nation, no surprise Russia includes a vast range of landforms and environments that include steppes or grasslands, deserts, the Arctic Tundra, and dense forests. It also has the longest, largest, and deepest lakes.

    Russia’s climate is extreme, with forbidding winters where the temperature dips to -8 degree Celsius. Hence, the best season for traveling to Russia is May through October.

    Russia, especially the cities of Moscow and St. Petersburg are entirely safe for tourists. However, always be careful of the surroundings and avoid the dodgy areas. Also, carry a copy of your passport along with you always.

    The cities Moscow and St. Petersburg have good public transport making it easy to move around. They also have private taxis which are safer, and they charge 200 to 500 rubles for any distance.

    It is good to have a Russian version of the address on a piece of paper or your phone to be able to communicate your destination to the drivers.

    It is important to take help of an English-speaking guide or keep a book of common phrases handy to avoid language woes.
