Olkhon Island
For a step back in time,
Olkhon Island is a won-
derful place to visit. The
culture of the local ab-
originals is remarkably
well-preserved, so you
can experience a unique
corner of Russia in an
authentic way. This large
island is in the middle
of Lake Baikal, and its
isolated location makes
it both uncrowded and
naturally breathtaking. If
you’ve done metropol-
itan Russia and you’re
looking for more, this is
the place to go.
The Golden Ring
The Golden Ring is a series
of cities that are considered
the foundation of Russia’s
formation and culture. For
travellers especially interest-
ed in Russian history, a trip
through some of these cities
is a must. A few good ones,
to begin with, are Yaroslavl,
Vladimir, and Suzdal. Many
of the sites within these cit-
ies are UNESCO protected
because of their value not
only to Russian history but to
world history in general. Many
of the structures date back to
medieval times and beyond,
so visitors to the area can
get an experience of what life
was like long ago. If you visit
any cities in the Golden Ring,
be sure to tour a few muse-
ums and monasteries.
