We have collected the most popular holiday destinations in the north and south, and you choose what you like.
North of Russia
The Russian north fascinates with its beauty and unique nature. True Russian culture, many ancient buildings, and wooden architecture have been preserved here. If you want to take a break from the hustle and bustle, spend time among forests and fields, walking through ancient temples, a trip to the north is what you need!
Vologda region
Veliky Ustyug is a name that is known to many children, because it is the Birthplace of Santa Claus. The city is located in the Vologda region, and in winter a real New Year's tale unfolds in it. However, you can visit Ustyug in summer.
There are a lot of beautiful Orthodox churches and cathedrals in the city. During the trip, visit the Cathedral of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Cathedral of Prokopiy Ustyuzhsky, as well as take a look at the Cathedral Courtyard, historical and ethnographic museums.
Khibiny
In summer, the Khibiny is as irresistible as in winter. If you love the nature of the north, be sure to plan a trip to the Kola Peninsula – crossing the Arctic Circle is an amazing adventure that you will remember for a lifetime.
Go on an off-road tour, you can enjoy magnificent views of the emerald lakes and mountains, and for those who prefer a "wild" vacation, a walking tour through the tundra and taiga, carrying a backpack and a camera, will be an excellent solution.
Khibiny is also suitable for family holidays – you can book a house at a cozy recreation center and enjoy the white nights.
Republic of Karelia
The place that every connoisseur of the north should visit is the Republic of Karelia. This region is rich in its nature and unique architectural monuments.
