Introducing the Russia
Russia is the world's largest country, spanning much of Eastern Europe and all of North Asia, with an area of more than 17 million square kilometers. Russia's sweeping landscapes, sometimes set in harsh climatic conditions, range from mountains to lakes and parks to rivers. In addition to its natural wonders, Russia draws visitors who come to experience cultural tours and the country’s iconic historical structures. Some of Russia’s natural and cultural riches include Lake Baikal, the world's deepest lake; and Moscow, home to the famous Red Square and the acclaimed Pushkin Museum. Popular activities for visitors to Russia include embarking on a canal tour in the city of St. Petersburg and savoring the city’s summer “white nights”; skiing at beautiful ski resorts; and touring the Kremlin, the country’s emblematic symbol. In addition, visitors from art and history buffs to nature lovers can enjoy the country’s luxurious shopping malls and vibrant street life.
Turkish Airlines operates Russia flights to three different destinations. Flights from Istanbul Airport to Moscow, St. Petersburg, and Kazan take four hours and 30 minutes on average.
