At the mention of Russia, endless snow-covered spaces, Kremlin stars, golden-domed churches, and world-scale museums come to mind. This is only a part of what the Russian north is famous for. Have you ever seen the Northern Lights? Did you go dog sledding, attend Christmas fairs in Moscow or see canals chained in ice and multi-ton granite columns covered with frost? You will immerse yourself in this fabulous ice world, visiting the three largest northern cities of Russia.

General tour description
Three northern cities - three Christmas tales. Each is beautiful and unique in its way.

Moscow is the capital of Russia and the northernmost metropolis. This is a city where people come to feel the full power and scope of the country. Moscow will surprise you with its impressive size, wide streets, the contrast of modern skyscrapers, and ancient churches. It will whirl you in the maelstrom of the fast pace of city life.

St. Petersburg is the cultural capital and the largest northern city. This is a port city on the shores of the Baltic Sea, where the winds blow tirelessly, couples in love walk leisurely and everything is steeped in romance. Its neat streets with granite embankments along the countless canals will lead you to a magnificent palace-museum. Cult works of art are carefully kept behind their doors.

Murmansk is a large city beyond the Arctic Circle. This kingdom of the Russian North is washed by two seas. Here, tundra and lakes give way to mountains and plateaus. This is a nature reserve with picturesque and virgin nature, where bears and deer live, where you can ride a dog sled with a breeze. But the main reason

by which travelers come here from all over the world is the Northern Lights. One of the most elusive, incredible, and truly beautiful phenomena of northern nature.
