Destination Information for Russia

As the world’s largest country, it is unlikely a trip to Russia will leave you with a shortage of places to visit. However, top of the list may be Moscow’s Kremlin, with this fortified complex an iconic structure around the globe. Outside the Kremlin’s north-eastern wall is the famous Red Square, with the vibrancy of St Basil’s Cathedral at its southern end impossible to overlook.

For anyone whose intention is to see as much of Russia as they can, the Trans-Siberian railway offers the best opportunity to do so. The longest of the three Trans-Siberian routes takes seven days, covering 6,152 miles between Moscow and Vladivostok. Along the way travellers will see an array of spectacular monuments and landscapes throughout this immense expanse, with particular highlights being the huge Kremlin in Kazan and the views on the journey along Lake Baikal.
