Experience this adventurous, fascinating and unpredictable destination full of rich history. Enjoy the beautiful baroque and neoclassical architecture of Rastrelli, the Italianate mansions and operas, and the network of canals and cultural treasures in St Petersburg. Visit Moscow, the epicenter of new Russia, in the late spring, when the city's parks are filled with flowering trees and happy citizens. Go to Russia during summer and experience the white nights (when the sun barely dips below the horizon) or visit for a ski trip to Russia's vast mountains.
