Planning Russia

St. Petersburg & Moscow

Transiberian & Siberia

No need to tell you that Russia is the largest country in the world. A whole year wouldn't even be enough to see everything... So we'll stick in fact to two of the most famous cities in the country, St. Petersburg and Moscow, and to some of the towns and highlights that the famous Trans-Siberian railway crosses (ie.  Rostov, Sergei Posad, Yaroslavl, Perm, Yekaterinaburg, Krasnoyarsk, Irkutsk and the Baikal Lake, and Ulan Ude...).

Cornelia can finally start practicing her Russian that she learned during one whole year.
