Ah, Russia. It’s a land full of snow, vodka, impossible-to-pronounce last names, and confusing little dolls. There’s not much you can’t love about Mother Russia, but, if we’re being honest, the country is certainly a wild place. Though the people are warm and loving, there are places and things there that you can’t find anywhere else.
From dead cities that look like something out of a Netflix movie to freezing cold lakes, Russia is not for the faint of heart. However, if you want to travel there, you’re bound to have a good time (as long as you follow the rules, of course). Scroll through this list to see what Russia has to offer brave adventurers.
