📣 Hinweise für Reisende

Russia is a vast country with rich history, culture, and natural attractions. Most major attractions are centered in the principal cities of Moscow and Saint Petersburg, although some remote areas can be difficult to reach.

• Federal and regional holidays (covering ethnic, historical, professional, and religious significance) dictate the holiday schedule. Plan travel around federally recognized day-offs.
• Key holidays include the New Year Holidays (January 1–5) and Orthodox Christmas (January 7).
• Manners are generally aligned with traditional European norms. Guests should ask the host before leaving a dining table. It is polite to accept second helpings of food. Avoid resting elbows on the table or sitting at the corner. When dining with a mixed group, follow the payment customs of your companions.
