What preparations should I make for my trip to Russia+Eastern Europe?

First of all, you have to decide when to go. As a high-latitude country across Europe and Asia, Russia has places to play all year round, but combined with the landlord's "+Eastern Europe", it is tentatively scheduled to go from Eastern Europe to Russia and Europe. Personally, I suggest going in summer and autumn. You can go to the grasslands and mountains of Hungary. The Black Sea, the estuary of Russia, is also a good choice and a summer resort. In countries like Austria and Czech Republic, winter and spring are also beautiful (but winter is also beautiful. Going to Austria last winter was simply a petty bourgeoisie. In short, there are many choices. By the way, it is also a good route from St. Petersburg, Russia to the Baltic Sea in northern Europe. This is beside the point. 2. Self-help tour essential skills: ahem, don't mind poor travel. At least you need some money. When you are away from home, you must have money or the ability to make money. There must be an important meeting in Russian or English (many people in Eastern Europe don't know English, so it's strange to ask for popularizing English in China). You can ask domestic tour groups to plan their own routes. Then go and play by yourself (even if you have an accident or ask for help during your trip, you can find them. 3. Understand the local cultural background and some details and taboos (although I don't pay much attention to taboos). As for food and art, I strongly suggest that you check it first, don't look around and don't forget to do things and buy things. They are lazy and close early, especially in small places. (This is more painful. Therefore, I am very concerned about food and give a general suggestion at home and abroad. Delicious food is often in private shops. So is foreign food. ) 4. Security issues, well, I want to say that Eastern Europe is now in Russia and Europe, which happens to be a delicate area (Ukraine is crying, Romania is looking far away, Montenegro is speechless, and so on). So if you want to go, first look at the domestic judgment of the situation and the notice of the National Tourism Administration (if you apply for self-help tour to establish contact with the tour group mentioned in Article 2, you might as well ask the advice of the travel club. ) 5. In short, there are simply too many plans to go within the scope you mentioned, and the choices are rich. You can go all year round ~
