Russia spans Europe and Asia, and most Indian travellers begin with its two western cities, Moscow and Saint Petersburg. Moscow is the capital, with the Kremlin, Red Square, historic churches, museums and an extensive Metro. Saint Petersburg, the former imperial capital, is known for the Hermitage Museum, canals, palaces and historic avenues. Direct flights may operate from Delhi and Mumbai to Moscow, depending on the schedule, while Bengaluru commonly needs a connection.
A first trip works best as six to seven nights in these two cities. Five days covers Moscow and Saint Petersburg at a steady pace, and seven days adds Peterhof and the Catherine Palace area. Ten days allows a Golden Ring trip to the historic towns of Vladimir and Suzdal, or a visit to Kazan and its UNESCO-listed Kremlin. Sochi and Lake Baikal suit longer trips, as they need extra planning.
Our packages include six nights in 3- to 4-star hotels on twin sharing, daily breakfast, local transfers and sightseeing as per the itinerary, and visa assistance. Choose Moscow St Petersburg 6N for a complete two-city plan, or ask us to customise one. Flights, the e-visa processing fee, insurance and extras are separate. For planning, read the Russia travel guide and the Russia visa guide for Indians.

Our verdict
May to September is the best time to visit Moscow and Saint Petersburg, with the mildest weather and the longest daylight. June to August is busier, and July is the warmest month in Moscow, with highs near 32°C. Winter from December to February brings snow, sub-zero temperatures and very short days, which suits snow-focused travel. See the full best time to visit Russia guide for each month.
Day by day
Sample 7-day Russia itinerary
Based on our Moscow St Petersburg 6N package. Your trip expert can stretch or shorten any day.
- Day1
Arrival in Moscow
Arrive at Sheremetyevo International Airport (SVO), the nearest airport to Moscow, and transfer to your hotel. Check in and rest after the journey. Keep the first evening light, with a short walk around central Moscow to get your bearings. Confirm that your e-visa dates match your entry date before you fly, and carry the approval with your passport.
- Day2
Red Square, the Kremlin and GUM
Spend the day at Red Square and the Kremlin area, the historic centre of Moscow. Visit the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour, then browse GUM, the historic arcade on Red Square. The centre is walkable, but distances are long, so use the Metro between sights. Keep the afternoon flexible, and rest during the hottest hours in summer.
- Day3
Moscow Metro and a major museum
Explore the Moscow Metro, whose stations are noted for their architecture, and then visit one major museum. Choose a single museum rather than several, and check opening days before you go. In the evening, walk the Arbat area for its streets and cafes. Pack layers, because temperatures change quickly between seasons.
- Day4
Transfer to Saint Petersburg and an evening walk
Travel from Moscow to Saint Petersburg by train, as set in your itinerary, and allow time for check-out and station travel. Check in at your hotel in central Saint Petersburg. Spend the evening walking the canals and the historic avenues, such as Nevsky Prospekt. Tell your planner if you prefer an early or a late train.
- Day5
Hermitage Museum and Palace Square
Spend the morning at the Hermitage Museum, one of Saint Petersburg's major attractions. The museum is large, so choose the galleries you most want to see. Book popular entry slots in advance during summer. In the afternoon, walk to Palace Square and rest before an evening along the canal districts.
- Day6
Peterhof palace and gardens
Travel to Peterhof, the imperial palace and garden complex near Saint Petersburg, known for its fountains and formal grounds. Check the fountain operating dates before the visit, because the main display is seasonal. Plan about one day for the visit, including travel. Return to the city for a relaxed evening and an early night.
- Day7
Canals, Nevsky Prospekt and departure
Enjoy breakfast and check out. Use the morning for a relaxed walk along a canal or on Nevsky Prospekt. Your transfer takes you to the airport for your onward flight, which is booked separately, with enough time for check-in. Keep your visa, passport and insurance documents to hand for departure.

How much does a Russia trip cost?

Flights, the e-visa processing fee and insurance are always separate. Read more in Russia trip cost.

FAQs
Russia tour package FAQs
Quick answers to what travellers ask before booking a Russia trip. Ask your trip expert anything else.
How many days do I need for Russia?
Five days covers Moscow and Saint Petersburg at a steady pace, including the Kremlin, the Hermitage and Peterhof. Seven to ten days gives a more comfortable pace, with time for a Golden Ring trip or Kazan. Three days is possible only for a tight Moscow-only visit.
What is the best time to visit Russia?
May to September has the mildest weather and longest daylight in Moscow and Saint Petersburg. June to August is busier. Winter suits travellers who want snow, but it brings sub-zero temperatures and very short days, so plan warm layers.
Do Indians need a visa for Russia?
Yes. Indian ordinary-passport holders need a valid visa or the approved Russian unified e-visa. The e-visa allows one entry and a stay of up to 16 days. Check the official Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs e-visa portal before you apply, because conditions can change.
Do your Russia packages include flights?
No. Our packages are land-only, so international flights are booked separately. Our planners can suggest arrival and departure timings from your city, and direct flights may operate from Delhi and Mumbai, depending on the schedule.
What is included in the Moscow St Petersburg package?
Six nights in 3- to 4-star hotels on twin sharing, daily breakfast, local transfers and sightseeing as per the itinerary, the transfer from Moscow to Saint Petersburg and visa assistance. Flights, the e-visa processing fee, insurance and unlisted meals or entry fees are extra.
Is Russia suitable for families and senior travellers?
Yes, when the itinerary uses central accommodation, planned transfers and rest periods. Winter ice, uneven pavements and a lot of walking may need extra precautions, so choose a plan with fewer changes of hotel and shorter walking days.
Can I add Kazan, Sochi or the Golden Ring to my trip?
Yes. Kazan and the Golden Ring towns suit a trip of about ten days, while Sochi and a nature region suit about two weeks. Each needs extra domestic travel. Tell your planner your dates, and we will add the extra stops to a written quote.
Can I use cards and mobile payments in Russia?
Foreign-issued bank cards may not work reliably because of financial restrictions. Carry a legally obtained payment alternative and some Russian rubles, and confirm the current arrangements with your bank or planner before departure.
What food can Indian travellers eat in Russia?
Common dishes include soups, dumplings, grilled meats, potatoes, breads and salads. Vegetarian and Indian restaurants are found mainly in Moscow and Saint Petersburg. Confirm ingredients with the restaurant, because dietary suitability varies from dish to dish.
Is Russia safe for Indian tourists?
Safety conditions vary by region and can change quickly. Check current Indian government travel advisories, avoid demonstrations and restricted areas, carry your identification and follow local instructions. Winter ice and uneven pavements need extra care.
