What should you pay attention to when traveling to Russia?

The business hours of local banks in Russia are: Monday to Friday 9:30 am to 5:30 pm. In some restaurants in Russia, before eating the tea and snacks that the waiter will bring, ask if there are any charges. When visiting local Russian temples, churches, palaces or high-end entertainment venues, please pay attention to the appropriate clothing. Don’t take photos in Russia without strangers’ permission; if a tourist attraction stipulates that photography is not allowed, don’t break the rules secretly. The best time to travel to Russia is from May to October, when Russia is suitable for summer vacation. For shopping in major Russian cities, places you can go include GUM Department Store, Chum Department Store, IZMAILOVO Market, etc. There are both luxury brands and local folk products here, which are worth shopping. Russians are very particular about their diet, and their specialties include caviar, borscht, traditional pancakes, sausages, etc. It is highly recommended that you try the most famous local "goulash". Chinese tourists traveling to Russia by train can choose the "Beijing-Moscow" international direct train. Regular taxis in Russia have a "T" logo and are generally yellow in color.

It is best to buy tickets in advance when taking a bus at a Russian bus station. If you buy it after getting on the bus, it will be more expensive. The local security in Russia is not very good. It is best not to give your camera to strangers to take pictures when traveling. When traveling to Russia in winter, please bring a windproof and warm jacket and do not wear multiple layers of clothing, because most Russian public places have heating. In Russia, the cheapest accommodation option is a private hotel near the train station, but you must be careful about the valuables you bring with you when staying here. In addition, it is best to book a room in advance during the white night period in late June in St. Petersburg, because there will be more tourists coming during this period.
