The Place

The largest country in the world, Russia vacations present tons of opportunities to sight-see. Widely known for its freezing cold temperatures, its vodka, and its Soviet past, Russia is a unique travel destination. Visit the Moscow Kremlin, Basil's Cathedral, or the Nurulla Mosque in Kazan. For those who travel to Russia looking for a party, stay in St. Petersburg, where it's said the city never sleeps. Or take it easy on a walk around Izmailovsky Park and relax at Pushkin Square.
