Welcome to Russia!

A country of breathing history, welcoming people, and sprawling geography, Russia boasts a never-ending stream of splendors. From the onion-shaped domes inspired by the Byzantine Empire to the castles built to fend off Mongol hordes to the streets constructed by Soviet architects, the travel possibilities are endless!

It has been over 300 years since Peter the Great began his quest to transform Russia into a European power. Influenced by the West's technologies, ideologies, culture, and traditions, Russia has continued to preserve its own distinct Eurasian atmosphere while blossoming into a world leader.

Peter the Great’s quest has changed the world in many regards, causing havoc for some and creating good for others. One thing is certain: this centuries-long quest for greatness continues even today.
