Russia

Tsarist spires pierce snowy veils, June to August thaws the vast Eurasian soul

1 spots1 speciesJuly
The best time to visit Russia is between May and September, when Moscow’s Red Square and Siberia’s wilds bask in mild days. With 15°C to 25°C weather, it’s perfect for cruising the Volga, exploring St. Petersburg, or hiking Lake Baikal. For fewer crowds, try April or October.
