🍂 6 Fall Trip Ideas to Russia

Explore stunning castles, visit Siberia's only preserved kremlin, and drive along the country’s most picturesque roads – all during the most beautiful months of the year!

🍁 Karelian Waterfalls

Experience the breathtaking beauty of Karelia’s blue lakes, marble canyons, and towering forests. Don't miss the Kivach waterfall, the second-largest flat waterfall in Europe, and the mystical Girvas paleovolcano, with its rocky landscapes and serene lakes.

🍁 Vologda: The Heart of the Russian North

Famous for its exquisite lace, creamy butter, and intricate woodwork, Vologda is the unofficial capital of the Russian North. With roots as old as Moscow, this historic trading city features a mid-16th-century kremlin and the beautiful St. Sophia Cathedral. Don’t miss the local museum dedicated to lace-making.

🍁 Plyos: A Painter's Paradise

This charming town in the Ivanovo Region, beloved by artists, served as inspiration for Isaac Levitan. In autumn, the vibrant golden and red foliage transforms it into a living painting. Stroll through historic merchant estates and ancient churches – time seems to stand still here.

🍁 Tobolsk Kremlin: Siberia's Unique Gem

Nestled in the forests of Tyumen Region, Tobolsk enchants visitors with its cobblestone streets and cozy cafés. It’s home to the only white-stone kremlin in Siberia, dating back to the 17th-18th centuries. Inside, you’ll find the Sophia-Assumption Cathedral, the Prikaznaya Chamber, and a bell tower that once announced the tragic death of Tsarevich Dmitry.

🍁 The Chuysky Tract

Considered the most beautiful road in Russia, the Chuysky Tract follows the ancient Silk Road to China. Beginning in Novosibirsk, this stunning 1,000-kilometer route winds through the Altai region all the way to the Mongolian border.

🍁 Bridges & Lighthouses of Vladivostok

Often called the “Russian San Francisco,” Vladivostok boasts stunning views from its iconic bridges, including the Zolotoy (Golden) and Russky (Russian) bridges. Visit Tokarevsky Lighthouse, one of Russia's oldest, situated on a charming embankment island connected by a narrow causeway.
