Russia

Russia is grandeur personified. This vast country is home to a fascinating, complex history alongside grand royal palaces, opulent classical architecture, world-class museums, historic churches and classical music performances — all wrapped in a romantic, old-world imperial charm. First-time visitors typically discover Russia's two celebrated urban centres, Moscow and Saint Petersburg.

Travenza Holidays brings you well-planned Russia holidays tailored to your needs and interests — from the finest hotel selections and the most knowledgeable local guides to comfortable transfers and smartly planned sightseeing tours.

Russia has two very different travel seasons — warm months built for sightseeing and a snow-covered winter that feels like an entirely different country.

Russia's two major cities, Moscow and St. Petersburg, boast modern and efficient transportation networks, including metro systems, local transport and taxis — with the unique and opulent Moscow Metro being a highlight in itself. For many travellers, particularly first-timers, private transfers and private chauffeur guides offer a more convenient and comfortable way to get around.

Travenza tip: The Moscow Metro is fast, cheap and an attraction in its own right — but for transfers between cities, the high-speed train between Moscow and St. Petersburg is the easiest option.

If you love Russian imperial history, stunning architecture, wonderful museums, great palaces, iconic churches and rich cultural heritage, Russia is the perfect choice. It is a country steeped in history, art, architecture and grandeur.
