MAGAZINE - JULY 2018

elonging to both Europe and Asia, the

world’s largest nation is synonymous with

onion-domed fairly-tale esque structures,

epic train journeys, vast expanses of wil-

derness, controversial politicians, long

harsh winters and vodka fuelled nights. It

has long held a fascination with many a cu-

rious traveller and for those who do visit will

find a country filled with culturally powerful

cities, idyllic countryside, artistic riches and

plenty of welcoming people. In such a huge

country its hard to know where to start.

Altai

Altai is perhaps the most beautiful region of Rus-

sia. This area is nearly untouched, and the natural

beauty is perfectly breathtaking. Altai is filled with

glaciers and glacial lakes, as well as therapeutic hot

springs. Both sightseers and health seekers love

this area for its undefiled natural offerings, this is a

wonderful unspoilt place for backpackers to explore.

Kamchatka

The adventurous will love gorgeous

Kamchatka, a large peninsular

landmass in the north of Russia.

Although Kamchatka is rather iso-

lated, it continues to draw travellers

because of its imposing volcanoes

and ethereal landscapes. Between

interesting buildings, strange geo-

logical formations, and numerous

natural wonders, there is always

something to discover in Kamchat-

ka and it’s easily one of the most

beautiful places to visit in Russia.

Kazan

Kazan is an eclectic city, with its

identity rooted in sports as well as

arts, religion, and sciences. It is

perhaps most famous for its ath-

letic events, and is often called the

“Sports Capital of Russia.” How-

ever, visitors to Kazan are more

likely to encounter its numerous

museums and religious centres.

Huge mosques exist side-by-side

with massive cathedrals, all equally

beautiful and masterfully designed.

It’s certainly an interesting and di-

verse city for the urban explorer to

discover.
