What do you need to prepare for a trip to Russia?

Going to Russia is an outbound tour, so you need to bring your passport and visa. It is strongly recommended to prepare copies of the passport home page and visa page. If you lose your passport, you will have to rely on a copy to prove your identity when you go to the embassy to reissue it. Id card is useless. Because of the cold weather in Russia, you need to bring a thick coat and overcoat. You can bring a small amount of cash, mainly bank cards.

Matters needing attention in Russian tourism:

1, clothes: first of all, please refer to the weather forecast and be prepared for the weather forecast to deceive people. Because the weather in Russia sometimes surprises you suddenly. Buy a thicker and longer down jacket. Boots should be hairy and not soaked in water, otherwise you can't find your feet when you walk in the snow for a few minutes. It is best to have clear lines on the soles to increase friction and reduce the chance of close contact with the earth ~ hats, scarves, gloves and the like are necessary, and it is best to have a mask. The hat of the down jacket is not very tight, otherwise it will go down as soon as the wind blows. In a word, minimize the exposed part.

2. Transportation: If going to and from Russia, most people should fly. The direct flight time from Beijing to Moscow is 7-8 hours, and Russian airlines can generally take off late and arrive early. Hainan Airlines can check two boxes of luggage per person, each with 23Kg, while other airlines can only pack one box. At present, the time difference between Russian winter time and Beijing time is 5 hours.

3. Catering: There are many fast food restaurants in Russia, even KFC and McDonald's have Russian characteristics and unique flavors. You can try them, but there is no guarantee that you will like them. Blink, the cabbage soup and salad inside are still good. If you are not very confident about your stomach in the food sold in the street kiosks, please try something with meat carefully!

4. Accommodation: You can book online. It depends on the level of personal consumption. Regular hotels generally need passports and access cards, while family hotels usually only need to show their passports. Family hostels, similar to youth hostels, have multiple shops in one room, but in fact the conditions are many times better than those in domestic youth hostels. They are warm, clean and comfortable, but you should protect your belongings yourself. At most, one person has a small cupboard locked, which is not very reliable. If you arrive in the morning, you can check your luggage in the hotel first (because theoretically you can't check in until after 2 pm). According to my observation, Russian hotels generally don't have toiletries and shampoos, so remember to bring your own ~

5. Shopping: All kinds of souvenirs are sold in general tourist attractions, and the refrigerator stickers of landmark buildings in cities are also quite good. In short, no matter what you buy, as long as it is not a regular store, you can generally talk about a price of 20%~50%.
