Why Budget Doesn't Mean Basic
Russia on a Budget from Chandigarh
Russia is the world's largest country — spanning 11 time zones from the Baltic Sea to the Pacific Ocean — and one of its most culturally extraordinary. Moscow's Red Square, with the onion-domed St. Basil's Cathedral and the Kremlin wall behind it, is one of the world's great public spaces. St. Petersburg — Peter the Great's European window — is a city of imperial palaces, canal networks, and the Hermitage, one of the world's largest and finest art museums. The Trans-Siberian Railway is the greatest train journey on Earth, spanning 9,289km over seven days from Moscow to Vladivostok. Lake Baikal contains 20% of the world's surface freshwater and is the world's deepest and oldest lake. Russia is complex, vast, and endlessly fascinating — and for Indian travellers currently requires careful planning for visas and access.
