Before considering travel to Russia, let's give some general information about this beautiful country. Russia is a massive country spanning Europe and Asia. After the breakup of the Soviet Union in December 1991, Russia, once the premier republic of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR; usually known as the Soviet Union), became an independent country.
Superlatives abound in Russia. It is by far the largest country on earth, occupying over double the size of Canada, the world's second-largest state. It spans 11 time zones and includes a broad range of habitats and landforms, including deserts, semiarid steppes, dense woodlands, and Arctic tundra. Russia is home to the Volga, Europe's longest river, and Ladoga, Russia's largest lake. Baikal, the world's deepest lake, and the world's lowest temperature outside poles are found in Russia. Some beautiful cities to consider traveling to when you are planning a trip to Russia:
Yekaterinburg
Yekaterinburg is a bustling industrial city in the Ural Mountains with a lot to offer. It is, however, most known as the location where Monarch Nicholas II, Russia's last tsar, and his family were killed during the Russian Revolution in 1918.
Sochi

Aside from skiing, Sochi hosts the Russian Formula One Grand Prix and will host the 2018 FIFA World Cup. Despite the snow in the winter, Sochi has a subtropical temperature and beautiful beaches, making it an essential component of the Russian Riviera.
Veliky Novgorod
Veliky Novgorod, founded in the 10th century, is one of Russia's far north's oldest towns. Veliky Novgorod claims to be Russia's birthplace since its early people persuaded the Scandinavian Prince Rurik to lead Russia, establishing a 750-year reigning dynasty.
Vladivostok
Vladivostok is surrounded by mountains and bays, making it a stunningly picturesque city in Russia's east. Vladivostok, the country's largest port on the Pacific Ocean and just a hop skip, and a jump away from North Korea and China, is the final station on the Trans-Siberian Railway.
Nizhny Novgorod
Russia's fifth-biggest city is located at the Volga and Oka rivers. In the 13th century, the town was founded as a stronghold, also was once known as Gorky, after Maxim Gorky, who was born here. Read More…
