The world's largest country, which belongs to both Europe and Asia, evokes quite fairy-tale Scythian structures with an onion dome, epic train journeys, vast steppes, white nights, and long harsh winters.
There are many interesting tourist places in the country. Vasily Blazhenny Church, Hermitage Museum, Moscow Kremlin, St. Sophia Cathedral, Novgorod, Lake Baikal, Suzdal, Trans-Siberian Railway, Mount Elbrus, Geyser Valley are among the most popular tourist routes.
The Hermitage Museum is the main attraction not only of St. Petersburg but of all of Russia. This largest architectural monument is one of the best "representatives" of the Baroque style.
If you want to immerse yourself in the Russian atmosphere, you should take part in the Traditional Maslenica Festival, which is often accompanied by cheerful folk dances.
