2.  Russia has come a long away ahead of the Iron Curtain,
getting out of the reclusion in the 90’s Russia indeed
had turned out to be one of the most popular tourist
attraction for travellers around the world.
If you are planning to make a tour of Russia and
looking to experience ‘the vintage yet advanced’ feel,
here’s a quick guide for you.

3. Tours to Russia: St. Petersburg
 Any tour to Russia should start with the
historic city of St. Petersburg; a city
perhaps whose significance in World
History is unparalleled. The Heritage city
of St. Petersburg was established Tsar
Peter the Greta back in 1703, changed its
name to Leningrad (1924-1991) and back
to the former again. The city welcomes
you with its vibrancy, the Golden
Building Peaks and the UNESCO
Heritage City Centre. Any tour to Russia
remains incomplete without a local tour
of the St. Petersburg’s palaces,
monuments, Hermitage Museum and
the islands of Neva River. Justifiably it is
often called the Venice of the North—
the citadel of authentic Soviet culture,
art and the cradle of literary greats like
Dostoyevsky and Pushkin.

4. Tours to Russia: Moscow
 Moscow, once the centre of power of
Cold War remains to be the biggest
city of entire Europe with more than
10million. Founded back in 12th
century, the city never seems to have
lost its importance—serving as
capital in all the centuries. As a
tourist you would like to witness the
Russian architectures, the
Kremlin—Citadel of Communism
as well as the Red Square. Well,
don’t forget to miss the basil
Cathedral, the Tretyakov Picture
Gallery with all the world famous
pictures and the recently built
Moscow Subway—truly World
Class.

5. Trans-Siberia Railway
 Trans-Siberia Railway still
remains a wonder and
perhaps the most talked-
about railroad in the world.
The main route starts from
Moscow through Vladivostok,
Omsk—running through the
barren fields of Siberia for
9259kms straight. Crossing 7
time zones and 8 days en-
route this is a must for
anyone touring in Russia to
catch glimpses of Lake Baikal,
Buddhist temples and the
Urals.

6. Trans-Mongolian and Trans-
Manchuria Train
 Though less-renowned than the
Trans-Siberian counterpart,
built back in 40s and 50s Trans-
Mongol Rail track connects
Ulan-Ude to Chinese capital of
Bejing. Running through the
infamous Gobi desert, Moscow
to Bejing the route covers 7867
kms.
Trans-Manchurian rail line criss-
crosses the Trans-Siberian one at
Tarskaya, near Lake Baikal. This
route also connects Moscow
Bejing but the distance extends
about 9000kms.
