Russia Holidays
This vast, varied and unexplored country must surely represent one of the great undiscovered destinations for the 21st century. Although any visit to Russia would be incomplete by excluding St Petersburg and, to a lesser extent, Moscow, further east there are another seven time zones before arriving at the Pacific coast. In between lies a fascinating diversity of landscape, culture, wildlife and architecture.
Moscow has transformed itself into a culinary capital; St Petersburg has arguably the finest art collection in the world; Igarka has a museum which beat Tate Modern in a list of European museums; the Crimea might soon rival the Mediterranean resorts and the inky blue waters of Lake Baikal would stretch from London to Edinburgh. Along the Mongolian border, in the rich green valleys of the classically beautiful Altai region, 250 varieties of peony grow wild while, in the far east, you will find the last refuge of the Siberian tiger. Sticking out into the Pacific, the Kamchatka peninsular, once so secret it was closed off to both foreigners and Russians alike, has opened its doors for exploration.
