Travel information about vacation/holiday in Miscellaneous » Guides
A guide book is a book for tourists or travelers that provides details about a geographic location, tourist destination, or itinerary. It is the written equivalent of a tour guide. It will usually include details, such as phone numbers, addresses, prices, and reviews of hotels and other lodgings, restaurants, and activities. Maps of varying detail are often included. Sometimes historical and cultural information is also provided. Different guide books may focus on different aspects of travel, from adventure travel to relaxation, or be aimed at travellers with larger or smaller travel budgets. Guidebooks can have factual problems, information may be out of date (especially for regions undergoing rapid development), the author may have a hidden agenda (for example free meals or rooms in exchange for inclusion in the book or a favorable review -- compare tout). Guide books are generally intended to be used in conjunction with actual travel, although simply enjoying a guide book with no intention of visiting may be referred to as "armchair tourism".

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.
