Overview
Ten days across three Russian cities. Two nights in Moscow for the Kremlin and metro stations, three nights in Murmansk hunting northern lights and visiting the oldest Saami village, then two nights in St Petersburg for Peterhof Palace and St Isaac's Cathedral. Domestic flights included.
Highlights
Why you'll love this trip
- Three nights above the Arctic Circle in Murmansk, where the Northern Lights show up unannounced and the group just watches from the hotel parking lot.
- Teriberka sits where the Barents Sea meets frozen tundra. The water doesn't freeze, the wind cuts through every layer, and you're at the edge of the world.
- The Saami village serves reindeer stew in a centuries-old wooden hut. No menu, no options, just what they've been cooking since long before Russia existed.
- St. Basil's Cathedral looks like a fever dream in Red Square. Inside, the narrow spiral staircases connect nine chapels, each one smaller and stranger than the last.
- Two domestic flights handle the 1,500 km between Moscow and Murmansk. No 30-hour train, no overland gamble, just wake up in the Arctic.
