Russia has everything from european architecture to asian heritage culture. ​Visiting Russia offers an unforgettable collision of imperial extravagance, untouched wilderness, and deep, poetic soul that you cannot replicate anywhere else. You can spend your mornings wandering through the jaw-dropping, gold-drenched winter palaces of St. Petersburg, and your evenings watching world-class ballet at the historic Bolshoi Theatre. The country lets you experience architectural wonders that feel surreal in person, from the candy-colored, swirling domes of Red Square to the hauntingly massive, mist-shrouded monuments guarding the Arctic Circle.

Ultimately, it is a place where history feels alive at every turn.
