European Russia

Overview

By far the most visited and "easiest" part of the country, featuring must-see destinations like Saint Petersburg, Moscow, and the Golden Ring of Russia, which lets you explore a rich historical heritage on the outskirts of the capital, some beautiful natural areas (especially toward the Arctic Circle), two renowned rivers popular with cruise-goers—the Neva and the Volga—and a Black Sea coast long celebrated nationally for its climate and seaside resorts, chief among them Sochi.
