 Travel information about vacation/holiday in Russian Federation

Russia (also known as Russian Federation) is the largest country in the world and is located on two continents, Asia and Europe. The capital is Moscow. Things to visit for holiday or travel: Moscow (the largest city in Europe with Russian Orthodox cathedrals, Maria-message cathedral, Basilius cathedral) or St. Petersburg (with the Winter palace or Hermitage Museum, the Stroganov Palace and the St. Isaaks cathedral), a river cruise on the Volga, Siberia where it can be -72 ˚ C in the city Oymyakon and the Golden Ring route (along Vladimir, Suzdal, Kostroma, Yaroslavl, Rostov Velikiy, Pereslavl-Zalesskiy and Sergiev Posad). It is also an enormous experience to take the train along the more than 8000 kilometres long route of the Trans-Siberian Express from Moscow to Vladivostok along the clear Baikalmeer. This trip takes 7 days and passes 10 time zones.

The easy and low cost way of travelling. Hostels do not only provide sleeping but new friendships as well. Hostels, also called youth hostels, provide short-term accommodation to travellers or backpackers, particularly encouraging outdoor activities and cultural exchange for the young. Hostels are also often called backpackers' hostels (or backpackers' for short), particularly in Australia and New Zealand. In a hostel guests often rent a bed (sometimes a bunk bed) in a dormitory and share common bathroom, kitchen, and lounge rooms. Private rooms are often available. The main benefits of a hostel are firstly the low cost of the accommodation compared to alternatives such as hotels, and that one gets to meet other travellers from all over the world. Hostels are usually less formal and less expensive than hotels. They are most frequently used by young travellers. In the past many hostels imposed age limits, but today it is more common for hostels to accept guests of all ages. Despite the openness of modern hostels, the majority of guests are traditionally and overwhelmingly between the ages of 18 and 26.
