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 colourful 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 stunning Peterhof Palace near St Petersburg and the ancient city of Suzdal offer unique architectural experiences.
What are the most popular 2, 3 and 4-star hotels in Russia?
A Moscow metro ride is a must, admiring its stunning art deco stations. Taking a boat trip along the canals of St Petersburg is magical. Visiting a traditional Russian banya (sauna) is a cultural experience. Exploring the many churches and cathedrals across the country is a great way to learn about its rich history and architecture. Consider a visit to a traditional folk show for an authentic cultural experience.
The best time is during the shoulder seasons – May-June and September-October. You'll find pleasant weather, fewer crowds, and often lower prices than during the peak summer months. Winter (November-April) offers a unique experience, especially in cities like St Petersburg, but be prepared for cold temperatures and shorter daylight hours.
What are the best family friendly hotels in Russia?
Which neighbourhoods or areas are best for spending a week in Russia?
Moscow's Kitai-gorod district offers a blend of history and modern life. In St Petersburg, the Nevsky Prospekt area is vibrant and central. For a more local experience, explore the Arbat district in Moscow or the Vyborg district in St Petersburg. Consider basing yourself in a central location to easily access public transport.
Which parts of Russia are perfect for a weekend getaway?
Sergiev Posad, a historic town just outside Moscow, is easily accessible and boasts the magnificent Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius monastery. For a taste of imperial history, consider Peterhof, a short trip from St Petersburg. If you prefer a more relaxed experience, Suzdal, with its charming wooden architecture, is ideal for a short break.
Is renting a car recommended for exploring Russia?
While renting a car might seem appealing, it's generally not recommended, especially for first-time visitors. Public transport in major cities is efficient, and long-distance trains are a comfortable and scenic alternative. Driving can be challenging due to language barriers and road conditions outside major cities.
What are the best hotels with a swimming pool in Russia?
Credit card acceptance is improving, but it's still advisable to carry some cash, particularly in smaller towns and villages. Major international credit cards are more widely accepted in larger cities and tourist areas, but it's always best to have a backup plan.
What are the largest airports in Russia?
Sheremetyevo International Airport (SVO) and Domodedovo International Airport (DME) serve Moscow, while Pulkovo Airport (LED) serves St Petersburg. These are the main international gateways.
Are there any unwritten rules of behaviour visitors should know about Russia?
It's considered polite to remove your shoes before entering someone's home. Toasting with vodka is a common practice, and it's considered impolite to refuse a toast. Public displays of affection are generally less common than in some other cultures. Learning a few basic Russian phrases will be appreciated.
What local specialties should you try in Russia?
Pelmeni (dumplings), borscht (beetroot soup), blini (pancakes), shashlik (grilled meat), and pirozhki (pastries) are some must-try dishes. Try different regional variations to discover the diversity of Russian cuisine.
Where are the best shopping spots in Russia?
GUM department store on Red Square in Moscow is iconic. In St Petersburg, Nevsky Prospekt offers a wide range of shops. For souvenirs and local crafts, explore smaller markets and shops in different neighbourhoods.
What signature events or festivals take place in Russia?
Maslenitsa (Shrovetide) is a vibrant pre-Lenten festival with pancake feasts and festivities. Victory Day (9 May) commemorates the end of World War II with parades and celebrations. The Spasskaya Tower Military Music Festival and Tattoo in Moscow is a spectacular event.
What’s the best place in Russia for mild and comfortable weather?
The Black Sea coast in the south, particularly Sochi, offers a milder climate than other parts of the country, especially during the summer months. However, even here, temperatures can fluctuate.
What are the most common travel mistakes tourists make in Russia?
Not exchanging currency beforehand, relying solely on credit cards, and not learning basic Russian phrases are common mistakes. Failing to plan transport in advance, particularly for long-distance travel, can also cause issues.
What are some hidden gems to explore in Russia?
The Kizhi Pogost, an open-air museum on Lake Onega, showcases stunning wooden architecture. The city of Kazan, a blend of Tatar and Russian cultures, offers a unique experience. Lake Baikal, the deepest lake in the world, is a breathtaking natural wonder.
