Discover Russia

Russia is a vast Eurasian country with historic cities, forests, lakes, mountains and an exceptional range of regional landscapes. The country rewards travellers who like to combine well-known sights with everyday local atmosphere, whether that means exploring towns, following scenic roads or spending time outdoors.

Among the places most often associated with Russia are Moscow, Saint Petersburg, Lake Baikal, the Golden Ring and the Caucasus. Together they show the range of landscapes and cultural settings that make the country recognisable.

For visitors, grand architecture, museums, rail journeys, forests and regional traditions are an important part of what makes Russia distinctive. They connect the better-known destinations with the everyday landscapes and traditions found between them.

There is more here than a checklist of famous locations. Regional routes, local streets and natural viewpoints help connect the best-known sights with the everyday character of the country and often become some of the most personal travel memories.

For a travel collection, a Russia flag magnet offers a compact reminder of the country and the experiences connected with it. It can stand on its own or sit alongside magnets from the towns, landscapes and places that made the journey memorable.
