📣 Traveler notes
Russia is a large country offering rich history, culture, and natural attractions. Primary attractions are concentrated in major cities such as Moscow and Saint Petersburg, though remote areas are also appealing.
- Official Russian holidays are categorized by federal, regional, ethnic, historical, professional, and religious origins.
- Key federal holidays, such as New Year (January 1–5) and Orthodox Christmas (January 7), are nationwide public holidays and require advance travel planning.
- Adhere to traditional European dining etiquette. Ask permission before leaving a table. While declining alcohol is fine, a firm refusal may disappoint hosts. Accepting extra servings is considered respectful. Avoid resting elbows on the table or occupying a corner seat. Follow the lead of others when splitting bills.
