Frequently Asked Questions about hotels in Russia
What are the best landmarks to visit in Russia?
For iconic landmarks, you can't miss St. Basil's Cathedral and the Kremlin in Moscow, both incredibly beautiful and steeped in history. In St. Petersburg, the Hermitage Museum, with its vast art collection, and the Peter and Paul Fortress, offering stunning city views, are must-sees. Further afield, the stunning architecture of Kazan Kremlin and the fairytale Peterhof Palace near St. Petersburg are also highly recommended.
What are the most popular 2, 3 and 4-star hotels in Russia?
A metro ride in Moscow or St. Petersburg is a must; the stations are like underground palaces. Consider a visit to a traditional Russian Banya (sauna) for a unique cultural experience. Exploring the numerous churches and cathedrals, each with its unique architecture and history, is another great option. A river cruise along the Moskva River in Moscow or the Neva River in St. Petersburg provides a different perspective of the city.
The best time to visit depends on your priorities. June to August offers warm weather, long daylight hours, and ideal conditions for outdoor activities, although it's peak tourist season. May and September provide a pleasant balance of good weather and fewer crowds. Winter (November to March) offers a unique experience, with the chance to see snow-covered landscapes and participate in winter sports, but be prepared for cold temperatures.
What are the best family friendly hotels in Russia?
Which neighborhoods or areas are best for spending a week in Russia?
Moscow's Tverskoy District is central and offers a mix of historical sites, upscale shopping, and vibrant nightlife. In St. Petersburg, the Admiralteysky District, near the Hermitage and the Neva River, is an excellent choice. Both cities have excellent public transportation, making it easy to explore different neighborhoods.
Which parts of Russia are perfect for a weekend getaway?
For a quick trip, consider St. Petersburg, easily explored in a long weekend. Alternatively, you could choose a smaller city like Suzdal or Vladimir, both known for their beautiful Golden Ring architecture and charming atmosphere. These offer a more relaxed pace compared to Moscow or St. Petersburg.
Is renting a car recommended for exploring Russia?
Renting a car is not always recommended, especially in major cities. Public transportation is generally efficient and affordable in Moscow and St. Petersburg. For exploring areas outside major cities, a car might be more convenient, but driving conditions can vary, and international driving permits are required.
What are the best hotels with a swimming pool in Russia?
Credit card acceptance is improving, but it's still not as widespread as in many Western countries. It's advisable to carry some cash, especially in smaller towns and villages. Visa and Mastercard are more commonly accepted than American Express.

SVO (Sheremetyevo International Airport) and VKO (Vnukovo International Airport) serve Moscow, while LED (Pulkovo Airport) serves St. Petersburg. These are the largest and busiest airports in the country.
Are there any unwritten rules of behavior visitors should know about in Russia?
It is considered polite to be punctual for meetings and appointments. When visiting someone's home, it's customary to bring a small gift. Avoid using your left hand to give or receive items. Direct eye contact is generally accepted in professional settings, but prolonged eye contact might be considered rude in some social situations.
What local specialties should you try in Russia?
Pelmeni (dumplings), borscht (beetroot soup), blini (pancakes), and shashlik (kebabs) are some popular dishes. Try some traditional Russian bread and pastries. Don't forget to sample kvass (a fermented beverage) and vodka, if you drink alcohol.
Where are the best shopping spots in Russia?
GUM department store in Moscow's Red Square is a landmark shopping destination. St. Petersburg offers a range of shopping options, from high-end boutiques to local markets. Izmailovo Market in Moscow is a great place to find souvenirs and traditional crafts.

The Black Sea coast, particularly Sochi and the surrounding areas, offers a milder climate than much of the country, with warmer temperatures and more sunshine, especially during the summer months.
What are the most common travel mistakes tourists make in Russia?
Not exchanging currency before arrival or not carrying enough cash, assuming English is widely spoken, and underestimating the distances between cities are common mistakes. Also, failing to obtain the necessary visa well in advance can cause significant problems.
What are some hidden gems to explore in Russia?
The city of Yaroslavl, part of the Golden Ring, offers beautiful architecture and a more relaxed atmosphere than Moscow or St. Petersburg. Lake Baikal in Siberia is a stunning natural wonder, though it requires more extensive travel to reach. The Kizhi Pogost, an open-air museum of wooden architecture on Lake Onega, is another less-visited but remarkable site.
