Russian Vladivostok travel guide

Vladivostok, Russia is located in Siberia, where the climate is pleasant. It is only because of its unique geographical location that it has such a good environment. As a large port in the Far East, its commerce is relatively developed. Here are some detailed strategies to share with you.

Tips:

1. Select "Primorsky Krai" in the column of "Entry of Russian Federation" and "Hotel" in the category of stopping places.

2. You need to buy local insurance to enter Vladivostok. Other raiders say that people will check when they enter the country. I haven't checked it, but I still recommend buying it. Be prepared.

In Russia, you can't go anywhere except Vladivostok with an electronic visa.

4. After the visa comes down, it will be sent to the mailbox. At that time, you need to print the paper version yourself, and the ordinary printer can print black and white.

How to withdraw money at the airport ATM?

Go straight after getting off the plane. After getting off the elevator, there are many ATMs under the escalator.

Some ATMs support UnionPay, while others do not. Please identify the machine shown below. This machine not only supports UnionPay, but also can choose Chinese pages.

ATMs can only accept whole numbers. I tried to withdraw 1 1000 rubles before, but I couldn't get it out. Finally, I tried to withdraw 10000 rubles. There is obviously 1000 rubles, but I don't know why it just won't work.

When withdrawing money, you can choose whole money, small change or zero+whole. It is recommended to choose integer+zero.

Airport traffic to and from downtown.

After you withdraw the money, you can follow the direction of the arrow marked on the ground: "ExpresstraintoVladivostok". Many drivers will come and ask if they want to take a taxi. If they are not going to take a polite refusal, that's all right.

When you see a safety machine, walk out of that door.

Then go upstairs and walk to a long corridor. This is a road that makes you wonder if you are going the wrong way, but don't worry, there is nothing wrong with it! Then you will see the waiting room behind a glass door, which is the waiting room of the airport express.

Airport express railway timetable

The earliest bus from the airport to downtown is 07: 45, which is about an hour's drive, and the next bus is 08: 30, so if the plane arrives at six or seven in the morning, come out as soon as possible to get the money, otherwise it will take a long time.

Airport to downtown timetable: 07: 45, 08: 30, 10: 45, 13: 15, 17: 40.

Timetable from downtown to airport: 07: 05, 09: 02, 1 1: 5 1, 16: 00, 18: 00.

If it is a return trip, the last bus from downtown to the airport is at 6 pm, so the plane needs to take a taxi to the airport at night. Y.taxi is cheaper than the scheduled pick-up, about 1000 rubles.

Airport Express Railway Price: 230 rubles for ordinary seats in Vladivostok Railway Station.

Put a photo of the fast track.

Don't throw fast-track tickets after the gate. Tickets will be checked on the train and needed when leaving the station.

There are not many people on the first bus, and there are many seats.

Distribution of scenic spots in Vladivostok

In addition to the lighthouse, glass beach, Far Eastern Federal University and Russian Island, other scenic spots and restaurants in Vladivostok are relatively concentrated, such as railway station, Victory Square, weekend market, undersea museum, ZUMA restaurant, supra restaurant, studiocafe restaurant and brother bar, which can be reached within walking distance. The observation deck of Mount Ying Chao is a little far, but not too far.

How to download and use taxi software Y.taxi

The full name is Yandextaxi. Just search this when downloading. It is very convenient to bind a credit card or pay in cash.

Refer to the price of calling a car at common scenic spots:

Taxi prices in urban areas are generally between 150 rubles and 200 rubles.

The price from downtown to the airport is about 1000 rubles.

The price from the city center to the glass beach is about 27 rubles.

The price from downtown to the lighthouse is about 230+ rubles.

The price from the city center to the Russian island is about 600 rubles.

How to buy bubble-free water in Vladivostok

It is hard to imagine that I will write this in the raiders, but it is really important! Because most of the water in Vladivostok is bubble water, not white water or pure water, I don't know much about the convenience store, because the shopping in these two days is mainly concentrated in the supermarket-Cloverhouse, and I really managed to find two kinds of pure water from a bubble water shelf! One big and one small, if you go to cloverhouse, it's right.

Shopping/gift recommendation

There are two places worth recommending for shopping. One is cloverhouse, which is the largest supermarket in this city. There is also a cosmetics store similar to Watson's upstairs, where snacks, fruits and gifts brought back can basically be made. The second is the department store opposite Shengli Square, which is the building below, where there are two cosmetics stores ~

Big head doll chocolate

Ten people go to Russia, and nine people will choose it as a gift. My impression of it is a little sweet. I bought his candy as a gift. As a result, my colleague refused, saying it was too sweet. hahaha.

Fruit-flavored 8% yogurt

There are 5% and 8%, and 8% is recommended. It tastes like ice cream. I don't like boxes of yogurt, especially blueberries! Push hard! ! !

33 rubles each, which is still very cheap ~ I brought back more than 10 boxes when I came back. It stands to reason that dairy products should not be brought back. Vladivostok is not responsible. I returned to China by sheer luck. I estimate the shelf life is about one week. I'll put it in the refrigerator as soon as I come back. Blueberries taste the best, followed by apples and peaches.

Russian sausage

A * * * ate three kinds of sausages. This boxed sausage is very good, and there is also a large sausage of the same brand. No photos, no vacuum packaging, short shelf life.

It's this brand ~ it's not expensive, but it's delicious, especially his long-rooted sausage, which is all meat in a down-to-earth way, unlike the domestic sausage with starch.

I also bought half of this vacuum-packed sausage, which is not recommended. Compared with the kind with short shelf life, the taste is much worse. This kind of sausage is not used to eating.

It is reasonable to say that sausages cannot be brought back to China, but it is also luck. I may come back in the middle of the night and no one will check it. When my friend flew back to Changchun, the person behind her was stopped. She was lucky to escape.

dill pickles

I wanted to take a few cans of pickled cucumbers back, but I didn't plan to check them in. If I buy them, I will check them. They are all glass bottles containing soup and water. I was worried that they would break during the shipment, so I finally decided to give up.

Later, I bought ready-made pickled cucumbers and pickled tomatoes in the supermarket. This pickled cucumber is not very delicious. Small tomatoes are really delicious. They have been soaked in onions and fennel. The flesh and skin of tomatoes are soaked in sour soup. I don't know how it's cooked, but it's really delicious.

Various cosmetics

There is a cosmetics store on the right before cloverhouse gets off the elevator. Perfume is complete, and there are many make-up brands, but skin care products are not so complete. The cosmetics store here has a 30% discount card. Perfume skin care except makeup can generally be discounted, but not everyone can get a discount, and it is even related to the clerk, which is also very confusing. ...

For example, when I asked in this store the day before, I could get a 30% discount. When my friend went the next day, another clerk said no. Then my friend went to another department store with the same brand, and she borrowed a 30% discount card from other China people for the second time. Another clerk kindly gave her a 30% discount card. Still suggest asking for a 30% discount.

Perfume is the cheapest, even cheaper than the Capital Airport. Estee Lauder skin care products are also cheaper, and there are special shelves, such as Chanel or Guerlain. Maybe the color number is not very popular, or even half price.

Hotel accommodation

We originally booked accommodation in Azmut, but in fact we lived in an Amur Bay by the sea. Because the platform has already made corresponding compensation, I won't go into details. Let's talk about this Amur Bay. The advantage is that you can see the sea from the balcony and the price is not high. The disadvantage is that the appearance and internal facilities are old and the traffic is not so convenient. If you travel, it doesn't matter if you call a taxi on Y.taxi, otherwise it is recommended to stay.

Pit prevention guide

In fact, we have never encountered a pit in the local area. But all the pits encountered were drivers from China or local China. If you book a local charter business, you must place an order on the big platform and don't trade it privately. This is not guaranteed. We just placed an order on the platform and met the pick-up driver. The next day's chartered car didn't go through the platform, so I booked it directly with him. As a result, I was pitted and had nowhere to defend my rights.
