Preparing for Russia
- Children under 12 receive a new friend, Renata, who comes with a story book telling what her life is like in Russia
- The whole family will receive recipes, books and movies preparing them for their trip to Russia.
- Russia is suitable for travelers of all ages.
- The best time to visit Moscow is April and May, when the temperature is in the 50s and 60s. The golden period is summer, when the city is warm and bustling. The shoulder seasons in the spring and early fall are good times to avoid the crowds. Fall experiences more rainfall and less sunlight. Winters are brutally cold, but this is when you'll get a true glimpse into the Moscow experience. Russian winters are not for the faint-hearted. "Long" is the best adjective for them. Some days the sun will be out for less than an hour. Also, snow will continue to fall well into March. Few people, aside from the residents, are able to cope with the freezing conditions.
- A visa and a valid passport and visa are required for entry into Russia.
