Matters needing attention in traveling to Russia

Dear friends, before going to Russia, I want to explain to you the matters that should be paid attention to during the trip:

1, Moscow and Petersburg are moderately cool in summer, and the weather begins to get cold after September. In most cases, the temperature in winter is about five to fifteen degrees below zero. St Petersburg is rainy in summer and autumn, so you must take an umbrella. Please add or subtract clothes according to different seasons.

Average temperature table in Moscow: (for reference only)

65438+ 10 month:-9/-kloc-0/June:-5/-March:-8/0 April:10/May:19/August June:

July: 23/13 August: 22/12 September:16/710/0 October: 9/31/kloc-0.

2. The national currency of Russia is ruble, and other foreign currencies cannot be used directly. For the convenience of shopping and spending abroad, and for the sake of safety, please exchange rubles before leaving the country. Please consult your team leader for details. The tour guide will prepare rubles for you. Please take RMB with you and exchange it at the airport!

3. According to the regulations of China Customs, every citizen carries less than RMB 10000; Russian Customs stipulates that every citizen is allowed to carry less than 50,000 rubles when entering and leaving the customs, and other currencies should be truthfully declared. Ordinary cameras, digital cameras, video cameras and notebook computers do not need to be declared. Please explain the special equipment or valuables to the customs in advance. For drugs taken by individuals, it is necessary to carry a small amount, and Russian customs prohibit cold medicines and psychotropic drugs such as Tylenol from entering Russia. In addition, once the contraband prohibited by international law is found out, the consequences will be borne by the carrier himself.

4. It is forbidden to carry sharp tools such as knives when flying. Money, certificates, gold and silver jewelry, cameras and other valuables must be carried with you, not in checked baggage. Please don't throw waste paper and sundries into the toilet when using it on the plane. There is a special dustbin under or beside the sink. The food delivery procedure on the Russian Airlines plane is cold first and then hot, followed by cold drinks, cold lunch boxes, hot lunch boxes, hot tea and coffee, so there is no boiled water and hot tea when delivering drinks.

5. Tourists should follow the arrangement of the tour leader when entering and leaving the border port, and queue up for customs clearance according to the group's list number. The work efficiency in Russia may make you feel uncomfortable, so be patient with the slow customs clearance, because work habits can't be changed in a day, so please don't get upset.

Due to different living habits, Russian hotels do not provide toiletries and slippers, nor do they provide boiled water for drinking. Tourists must buy bottled water to drink. The room voltage is 220 volts, and the socket is a cylindrical plug, which does not match the domestic flat plug. If you need to charge, please prepare the adapter plug in advance. In the peak season, St. Petersburg is the place where tourists are most concentrated all over the world, but the number of local tourist hotels is insufficient. Generally, teams arrive in the morning, but they have to travel for a while before they can check into the hotel after lunch. The main reason is that the rooms are full. The hotel has to wait for the last batch of guests to check out and clean and replace spare parts before it can receive the next batch of guests. This is the local situation for many years. Please forgive the inconvenience.

7. Overseas team meals are mainly Chinese food, and the plans are all set in advance. The meals cannot be exchanged or returned. Tourists with different ethnic eating habits should explain to your tour leader to get your attention. According to personal habits, tourists may wish to bring a small amount of food as a supplement, such as instant noodles, sausages, snacks and so on.

8. European buses are used for overseas travel, and the first row in front of the front door is the working position of the tour guide. Please take your seats from the second row. Environmental sanitation needs everyone to maintain. Please don't smoke in the bus, eat melon seeds and ice cream. Please put the garbage and waste paper into the garbage bag. Please take the empty mineral water bottle out of the car and throw it into the dustbin in the street.

9. Russia is a country with unique customs and cultural charm. In addition to visiting the scenic spots specified in the travel itinerary, you will also have the opportunity to participate in distinctive self-funded projects, so that you can understand the essence of this country from a deeper level. Popular self-funded projects include: 1) watching Russian circus in Moscow; 2) Moscow Steel Pipe Style Dance Club; 3) Cruise on the Neva River in St. Petersburg (drinking champagne and vodka and gathering with folk singers and dancers is a cheerful and unforgettable project); 4) Watch the wonderful performance of the Royal Russian Ballet; 5) Watch Russian folk songs and dances in Nikolai Palace; 6) Authentic and elegant Russian aristocratic meal. A tour group is like a happy family. With a wonderful spiritual harvest, tourism will be icing on the cake.

10. Dress neatly when entering entertainment places. Slippers, vests, shorts, etc. Is forbidden. Please note that smoking in Russia depends on the environment. The general principle is to smoke outdoors. Smoking is not allowed in airports, hotels, shops, museums, railway stations, train boxes and political attractions around Red Square. Russia has a small number of toilets and a large number of tourist teams. For convenience, please line up in turn. Don't urinate outside the toilet, or you will be fined for smoking or uncivilized behavior. Tourists should protect the image of China people abroad. Please don't spit, litter and make noise.

1 1. Overseas tour groups work and rest according to local time. Moscow time = Beijing time -4 hours; Please say hello to your team leader if you need anything. Don't go out alone, especially at night. Russian police have strict control over foreigners' documents, especially when going out in Moscow. Please bring your passport and room card. Please take care of your passport. If your passport is lost, the responsibility for the time delay and related expenses arising therefrom shall be borne by the lost person.

12. According to the traditional customs left over from the former Soviet Union, all the goods sold in Russian shops are not negotiable. Products that can be bought are: Russian telescope, Russian purple and gold jewelry, Soviet officer watches, dolls, crystal wine sets, amber products, French perfume, Italian leather goods and stockings, black caviar, chocolate, vodka, Russian cigarettes, etc.
