Moscow Plus: 9 Ways to See More of Russia
Extend your trip with destinations from the Golden Ring to Tyumen
Moscow can be much more than a destination in itself. It can also be the starting point for a longer journey across Russia. Once you have explored the capital’s landmarks, museums, neighbourhoods and food scene, there is an entire country waiting beyond the city.
Travel to the Golden Ring to discover historic towns, traditional architecture and local crafts, or head to St. Petersburg for grand palaces, canals and world-famous museums. The Moscow Region offers an easy escape to country estates, parks and picturesque old towns, while Murmansk takes you north to Arctic landscapes and the northern lights. Kazan combines centuries of history with a vibrant mix of cultures and distinctive local cuisine, and the Tver Region invites you to slow down beside the Volga. In the Tula Region, explore literary heritage, traditional crafts and regional flavours, while Tyumen offers a different side of Russia with Siberian history, wooden architecture and natural hot springs.
Whether you have an extra day, a weekend or time for a longer trip, these eight destinations reveal very different sides of Russia and turn a stay in Moscow into the beginning of a much bigger journey.
