World Travellers

Darlene Berkel our expert of the day, writes:

Russia is a fascinating vacation destination for anyone interested in history and culture. It is a massive country and covers a land mass twice the size of the USA. There is a lot to see and do in Russia and since the culture is very different to that of the United States, you can expect an enriching vacation experience.

Russia was once a superpower, however the country has gone through a lot of political changes and upheaval in the past few decades. Still one thing remains the same: Russia is a fascinating country which offers a rich history and a unique culture to the discerning traveler.

Travelers should be aware that there are a lot of problems with health and public infrastructure in certain parts of Russia, so it is best to assume, for example, that tap water is not safe to drink.
