Want to travel to Russia but not sure where to start? Travel
to Russia is a little more complicated than going to Dominican
Republic or France: 1) Russia is far away; 2) Russia is cold; 3)
you will need a visa to travel to Russia.
There are few flights, so airfares fluctuate depending on
seasons (New York - Moscow flight is $450 - $1200). It's cheapest
to Travel to Russia in November, March and late August and most
expensive during summers.
Next to consider when planning your travel to Russia is
temperature. Russia is most beautiful in winter. After all, it is a
northern country (coldest in the world actually) that spends 8/12
months in winter and knows how to make the most of it. If you
travel to Russia in winter, you can save lots of money & expect
a better service, & get to do many fun things, such as troika
rides. If you don't like cold, your safer bet is to travel to
Russia next summer.
Don't trying to fool the weather and travel to Russia in
inter-seasons. You might be in for a big surprise. Of course your
will travel to Russia for different reasons than Napoleon, but you
should know that snowing starts in October and ends in April! Or
you could just ask your travel agent who is helping you to organize
your travel to Russia to ensure that you spend as little time as
possible in the snow.
