  • Day 4-7: Jump on a domestic flight to Sochi. It’s a great base from which to explore the picturesque Black Sea Coast, Russia’s favourite seaside playground.

  • Day 8-10: A trip to Russia would be incomplete without a stay in St. Petersburg. Once the nation’s capital and known as the Venice of the North, there is plenty to see and do here. Check out the Summer Palace, Peter and Paul Fortress and the State Hermitage Museum.
