Frequently asked questions about hotels in Russia
What are the best landmarks to visit in Russia?
For iconic landmarks, the Kremlin and Red Square in Moscow are essential. St. Basil's Cathedral's vibrant domes are unforgettable. In St Petersburg, the Hermitage Museum, Peter and Paul Fortress, and the Church of the Saviour on Spilled Blood are must-sees. Further afield, the Peterhof Palace's stunning fountains are breathtaking, and the fairytale architecture of Kazan Kremlin is captivating.
What are the most popular 2, 3 and 4-star hotels in Russia?
A Moscow metro tour showcases stunning architecture. Taking a boat trip along the canals of St Petersburg offers a unique perspective. Exploring the ancient monasteries of Suzdal or Vladimir provides a glimpse into Russia's spiritual heritage. For a different experience, consider a visit to a traditional Russian banya (sauna).
The best time to visit most of Russia is during the shoulder seasons – May-June and September-October. Summers can be hot, particularly in the south, while winters are long and very cold in many areas. These shoulder months offer pleasant temperatures and fewer crowds.
What are the best family friendly hotels in Russia?
Which regions or areas are best for spending a week in Russia?
A week in the Golden Ring (cities like Vladimir, Suzdal, and Yaroslavl) offers a cultural immersion into ancient Russia. Alternatively, exploring St Petersburg and its surrounding areas, including Peterhof, will keep you busy for a week. Moscow alone could also easily fill a week's itinerary.
Which parts of Russia are perfect for a weekend getaway?
For a weekend, focus on a single city. Moscow or St Petersburg are ideal for a short break, offering a packed itinerary of sights and activities. Smaller cities like Sergiev Posad, with its Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius monastery, could also be a charming weekend escape.
Is renting a car recommended for exploring Russia?
Renting a car is possible, but public transport is generally more convenient and affordable, especially in major cities. Driving in Russia can be challenging for those unfamiliar with local driving customs and road conditions. For exploring areas outside major cities, organised tours are often a better option.
What are the best hotels with a swimming pool in Russia?
Credit card acceptance is improving, but cash is still king, particularly in smaller towns and villages. It's advisable to carry sufficient roubles, especially for smaller purchases and outside of major cities.
What are the largest airports in Russia?
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 behaviour visitors should know about Russia?
Being punctual is important. It's polite to remove your shoes when entering someone's home. Avoid discussing politics or sensitive topics with strangers. Learn a few basic Russian phrases – it's appreciated.
What local specialties should you try in Russia?
Try borscht (beetroot soup), pelmeni (dumplings), blini (pancakes), and shashlik (kebabs). For dessert, indulge in medovik (honey cake) or pryaniki (gingerbread cookies). Regional variations abound, so explore local cuisine wherever you travel.
Where are the best shopping spots in Russia?
GUM department store on Red Square in Moscow is iconic. St Petersburg offers a range of boutiques and shopping malls. Izmailovo Market in Moscow is a great place to find souvenirs and traditional crafts. High-end designer brands are found in major cities.
What signature events or festivals take place in Russia?
Maslenitsa (Shrovetide) is a major pre-Lenten festival with pancake feasts. Victory Day (9 May) commemorates the end of World War II. The Spasskaya Tower Military Music Festival and Tattoo in Moscow is a spectacular event. Many regional festivals celebrate local traditions and harvests.
What’s the best place in Russia for mild and comfortable weather?
The Black Sea coast in the south, particularly Sochi, offers the mildest and most comfortable weather, especially during the summer months. However, even here, temperatures can be quite hot.
What are the most common travel mistakes tourists make in Russia?
Not exchanging currency beforehand, relying solely on credit cards, and failing to learn basic Russian phrases are common mistakes. Underestimating the distances between cities and not planning transportation adequately can also lead to problems.
What are some hidden gems to explore in Russia?
The Kizhi Island in Karelia, with its stunning wooden architecture, is a hidden gem. The Solovetsky Islands offer a unique blend of history and natural beauty. Exploring lesser-known cities within the Golden Ring can reveal charming towns with rich histories.
