Green Holidays in Russia

As befits the world's largest country, Russia is certainly not short on things to do and places to go: an extraordinarily vast and varied land, with huge wilderness areas, mountains, frozen tundra, thick forests and even beaches along the Black Sea, if you desire to escape to nature then your wish will be fulfilled here.

Of course, Russia is renowned for its history and culture, which are very much in evidence in its bustling cities - from the dynamic powerhouse of Moscow, home to the Kremlin and Red Square, to the ethereal, canal laced baroque city of St Petersburg, as well as many lesser known destinations scattered across its 6.5 million square miles.

The chance to cross continents on the Trans Siberian Railway, a spectacular once in a lifetime experience, is just one of the unique opportunities on offer in Russia.
