Excursions in different Russian cities
Express to Russia can arrange the following individual guided excursions with translator/guide and driver. We only use professional, local guides who are extremely knowledgeable on the area that you will be visiting. Our guided excursions are the best way to get to know the following cities.
 | Ekaterinburg
Russia’s third largest city and the capital of the Urals. Sverdlovsk oblast
is one of the most developed and advanced regions in Russia. It is very rich
in minerals and raw materials and is a heavily industrialized area. The
city is also associated with the tragic death of the last Tsar and lies on
the border between Europe and Asia. There is plenty to see in Ekaterinburg,
therefore, we highly recommend a visit.

|  | Irkutsk
Irkutsk has over 600,000 people and is located on the Angara River. It is
the starting point for many who adventure to the Lake Baikal area because it
is a major point on the Trans-Siberian/Trans-Mongolian train route. Founded
by Russians in 1652 as a major fort beyond the Ural Mountains, it was
populated by exiled political prisoners sent by the tsars and communists.
Today, the city has become a college town with many young people attending
universities there.

|  | Khabarovsk
Khabarovsk is the industrial, transport, administrative and cultural center of the Khabarovsk region. Khabarovsk was founded in 1858 as a military outpost, and is 8532km east of Moscow. Its numerous parks, riverside paths and historic downtown area make Khabarovsk a favorite place with visitors to the region. Russian masterpieces, early Slavic icons and a collection of Western European art can be enjoyed in the beautifully restored Fine Arts Museum overlooking the Amur River. It is within 30km of the Chinese border, but still retains a strong European feel and influence, most notably in the form of distinctive 19th century brick buildings and broad tree-lined main streets.

|  | Krasnoyarsk
Krasnoyarsk is turning into one of the most attractive regions in Russia for
both Russian and foreign tourists. The region offers a unique combination of
beautiful rivers and mountains, clean air, hunting and fishing,
architectural sites and the ethnic culture of a unique northern nation.

|  | Novgorod
Novgorod was the first official capital of Russia. Located between St.
Petersburg and Moscow, this beautiful town is home to over 180 ancient
churches and the famous Novgorod Kremlin. Visiting Novgorod will transport
you back to medieval Russia – a land of old wooden houses and ancient
monasteries.

|  | Novosibirsk
The Siberia region’s largest city was founded in 1893. Novosibirsk is the
third main cultural and scientific center in Russia (after Moscow and St.
Petersburg) and also is home to the famous University of Novosibirsk. The
city is developing quite rapidly, and is considered to be the capital of
Siberia. The area around Novosibirsk and the Altai Mountains hold some
incredible nature for outdoorsmen.

|  | Ulan-Ude
Ulan-Ude, founded in 1666, is a capital of the Buryt Autonomous Republic,
which in the 13 - 17th centuries was a part of the vast Mongolian Empire.
This a classic example of the Eastern influence in Russia. - In Ulan-Ude,
the Trans-Siberian splits into two different directions: The first travels
South though Guisinoye Ozero, Djida, Naushki (Russia) to Ulan-Bataar
(Mongolia) to Beijing (China) – Trans Mongolian. The second travels East
through Chita to Vladivostok – Trans-Siberian.

|  | Vladivostok
Vladivisitok is the city where Trans-Siberian Route ends and Russia’s far Eastern
capital built on the Pacific Ocean. In 1860, an army squad landed on the
bank of the Zolotoy Rog (Golden Horn) bay and built barracks; it was the
first building in Vladivostok. Soon after that, Vladivostok became the main
Russian port on the Pacific Ocean. An interesting seaport to explore, but a
little risky as well.
