Downside:  Some tourist traps

Our Experiences:  Russia occupies a portion of Asia and Europe and it is the world´s biggest country. We got to know 12 of the ex-Soviet Union Republics in Europe and Asia, what gives us a good comprehension about the many faces of Russian past history. The Kremlin, the Red Square and the St Basils Church are a must visit in Moscow. St Petersburg has lots of beautiful palaces and monuments, with an “european” look, recalling the classic French and Italian styles, all of them very imponent and colorful projects, imported by Cazar Peter the Great.   Very picturesque!   Gastronomy: Unfortunately some of the traditional Russian authentic recipes were forever lost. During the Soviet communist era all the royal Czarist period luxury and refinement were considered evil stuff. The Caviar was preserved, but only from farmed sturgeons as the fishes was almost extinct. We have only been to Moscow and St Petersburg. We want to make another trip including the Transiberian railway.

Hotels we love and recommend:  The Four Seasons (St Petersburg), Marriott ( Moscow )
