Do's
- Always carry your passport, visa, and registration/migration card with you; police may ask for ID without warning.
- Keep your Russian immigration card (arrival/departure slip) safe and carry it with your passport.
- Carry warm clothes suitable for the weather.
- Show respect for local customs — in Russian Orthodox churches, women should cover their heads and men should remove hats.
- Carry hard cash in USD or Euro while traveling; international credit/debit cards generally do not work in Russia.
- Use pedestrian underpasses and be careful at zebra crossings.
- Carry universal chargers for your gadgets and activate international roaming on your number.
- Check the weather forecast at meteoinfo.ru.
- Download the Yandex Taxi app before your trip.
Don'ts
- Do not overstay your visa or fail to register your stay, as this can lead to fines or deportation.
- Photographing government or military sites is prohibited.
- Avoid speaking negatively about the government or politics.
- Don't expect everyone to smile or be openly friendly — this is a cultural norm, not rudeness.
- Public consumption of alcohol is illegal and can result in fines.
- Don't rely solely on Indian cuisine; make sure to try local Russian food too.
- Avoid walking alone late at night, especially in unknown or border areas.
- Do not misbehave with your guide or driver.
The best time to visit Russia is May through October. Around this time, the days are long, and the weather is pleasant in St. Petersburg and Moscow. The average temperature in these months is around 20°C, going up to 30°C from June to August.
The sunny days are ideal for sightseeing in the cities during these months, and it is also the most popular and lively time to explore Russia.
Winter is always a magical choice for traveling in Russia. Snowfall can start as early as October in the northern regions, continuing until April, blanketing landmarks in a stunning white layer.
Visiting Russia in these months offers fascinating views of snow-covered cities, peaceful exploration, and the best opportunity to witness the Northern Lights in Murmansk.
