There are many beautiful places in Russia - Kizhi, Valaam, Kamchatka, Lake Baikal. Ancient cities of the Golden Ring, incredible landscapes of the White Sea. The most diverse travelers can find a lot of interesting things for themselves on the territory of Russia.
Interesting places - where to start your acquaintance with Russia
You can get to know Russia starting from your native surroundings. Very often, literally five minutes' walk from the house there are interesting places - an old manor house, a house of unusual architecture, a beautiful lake, etc. These trips and hikes are good because they do not take much time, but at the same time they allow you to enjoy a purely Russian flavor.
Unfortunately, while traveling in Russia remains an expensive pleasure. A ticket to Kamchatka is several times more expensive than a ticket to a Turkish resort. And not everyone who wants to explore their native spaces can afford it.
If everything around the house has already been examined, you can go on a long journey. The main thing is to determine the route. If you go north, you can see original Russian villages, enjoy the vastness, see how rye, wheat and oats grow. You can spend the night in a small old town, and in the morning you can go around its surroundings. If you wish, you can cross the Arctic Circle when moving north and northwest.
Such trips are best done in summer. Then there is a chance to see completely unreal, almost cosmic sunsets when the sun sets in the White Sea. In winter, you will not see such beauty, but, chained in ice, the sea at this time is also extremely attractive. True, severe frosts will not allow you to stay there for a long time.
Russia is a great country. Every self-respecting citizen is obliged to know its culture and history. And traveling through native spaces is very conducive to this.
If you want to get acquainted with central Russia, you can go to the Volga region. This is the land of lakes and rivers. There is great fishing, there are corners of untouched wilderness. At the same time, the Volga region has a rather mild climate, which allows you to travel with comfort from the beginning of May to the end of September.
Russian sights - what to see
Traveling around the cities and villages, even without a specific plan, you will definitely see many attractions - monuments, churches, monasteries, and simply beautiful landscapes. Each region has its own flavor. And there is no point in following traditional tourist routes. Choose yours. Then there is a chance to see not only what is replicated in books and magazines, but also to discover a new, unknown Russia, which is sometimes much more interesting and truthful than what is shown as illustrations on TV.
