Russia

Atlas World essential guide

The Atlas Lume view

The world largest country spans eleven time zones, from the Kremlin and Saint Petersburg to the Siberian taiga and Lake Baikal. Atlas Lume suggests reading Russia through its landscapes, neighbourhoods, transport and living culture, with the context needed to plan with judgement rather than collect places.

Moscú works as a practical reference point, but every route should adapt to distances and season. The main language is Russian, the currency is Rublo ruso and the generally recommended time to go is May to September. Always confirm entry requirements, conditions and services with official sources before travelling.

Always confirm visas, health requirements, timetables and transport conditions with official sources before travelling.
