Russia tourist destinations are popular among adventure lovers and provide a huge variety of adventure tourism to choose from.
Russian cuisine is basically more in fats and carbohydrates rather than proteins because of the long lasting cold winter there.

Short History Of Russia and Culture

Short History Of Russia and Culture
Travel tips for your trip to Russia Hotel Maps Famous Places in Russia helps you to make your trip to Russia in the holiday a Splendid One
Exactly when Russia first came into existence is something of a moot point, but with the nation having passed through several centuries of invasions, counter-invasions and medieval wrangling, the 1721 formation of the Russian Empire by Peter the Great forms arguably the most natural touchstone for the country we know today. As the largest state in the world, its power on the global stage became substantial, to the extent where it was able to roundly defeat Napoleon’s troops in 1812.
Russia’s vast and maltreated peasant population was granted rights by the Emancipation Reform of 1861, an important step towards the eventual downfall of the aristocracy through the 1917 Russian Revolution, which later saw the Bolsheviks take power.
The communist Soviet Union (USSR), as it then became, lasted until 1991, a lifespan which included the infamous oppressions of the Stalin era and the Cold War. The Russian Federation came into being when economic stagnation and political hand-forcing saw the collapse of the USSR.
In the modern era, former President Vladimir Putin stood down from the presidency in 2008 due to a two-term limit on holding office. His anointed successor and long-time protégé, Dmitry Medvedev, won a landslide victory, becoming Russia's third president and appointing Putin as his Prime Minister shortly afterwards.

Travel Tips For Russia
Travel tips for your trip to Russia Hotel Maps Famous Places in Russia helps you to make your trip to Russia in the holiday a Splendid One
Travel Tips For Russia
Travel tips for your trip to Russia Hotel Maps Famous Places in Russia helps you to make your trip to Russia in the holiday a Splendid One
Winston Churchill once said "Russia is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma" and no truer words were ever spoken. Russia has long been a country of great fascination and intrigue for many enthralled by the her three hundred year Romanov dynasty, communist past and emerging democracy. As the world's largest country, Russia occupies two continents, eleven timezones and its rich culture is a unique blend of European and Asian.
Everyone should visit Russia at least once in their lifetime and here are some tips to make your trip a safe and happy one:
* A visa is essential for entry into Russia, This must be arranged prior to your arrival and the fee is cheaper when ordered well in advance. Some people make the mistake of visiting one of the nearby countries e.g. the Ukraine or the Baltic States, thinking they can simply cross the border and enter Russia at whim but you cannot. A last minute visa request can cost over $400.
* Travellers require an invitation to visit Russia for a visa to be granted. This is usually issued by the hotel you will be staying at. Your travel agent can organise all this on your behalf
* The terms of the visa are quite strict. You must enter and leave Russia on the dates stated otherwise you could land yourself in a lot of trouble. If you lose the visa you will not be able to leave Russia and hotels will be breaking the law by letting you stay!
* Hotels in the centre of Moscow are extremely expensive, so be aware if you are looking for budget accommodation you will only find it once you are at least 5km out of the city centre.
* Exercise common sense while travelling. Don't flaunt your valuables and don't walk alone at night.
* Be aware that in Russia there is often one price for locals and another for foreigners. So if you are in a bar ordering a drink, don't be surprised that the Russian guy sitting next to you paid less for his than you did.
* When hiring a car, make sure to ask for one with seat belts. This may sound crazy but Russia is still developing her health and safety standards.
*Try to blend in where ever possible. Don't speak English too loudly in public, unfortunately it does identify you as a tourist and attracts thieves. The majority of Russians wear black leather shoes so if you are out in public wearing white trainers, you will stand out, once again identifying yourself as a tourist.
