It is made up of multiple regions that have their own unique culture, customs, history, and attractions. Russia travel guides provide a good introduction to the country, but since Russia is so large and diverse; travelers will need more than one travel book to plan their trip and navigate through the country. There are many Russia travel guides available, some standing out more than others in usefulness.
Lonely Planet is known for making some of the best travel guides available and their Russia guide is no exception. The guide consists of over 750 pages and is packed with useful information on 40 plus places. There are over 100 different maps and nearly 130 pages of color pictures. Since they cover so many places in Russia by providing a good introduction to the country, travelers can decide which regions and places they want to visit. There is in-depth information about major cities, but since there is so much to see and do in Moscow and St. Petersburg, travelers will need a separate city guide for them. Most travelers to Russia will arrive in Moscow visiting the many cultural and historical attractions that the city has to offer, not to mention the restaurants, shopping, and dining experiences. Many of these travelers will also visit the second largest city in Russia, St. Petersburg that also boasts an impressive list of attractions and things to do. There are a lot of great travel guides specifically for Moscow and St. Petersburg.
If you don't feel like buying separate travel guides for each city, then you can pick up Frommer's Moscow and St. Petersburg travel guide. It has in-depth information about how to get to the cities, traveling within the cities, culture monuments, museums, restaurants, hotels, and much more. There are detailed maps of the different areas of the cities. The guide is updated every year by locals and is very easy to use. When traveling to a foreign country, it isimportant to have a basic understanding of cultural norms, traditions, and taboos. Russia - Culture Smart gives readers a good introduction to all of these matters. Travelers will learn things like whether they should tip at bars, how a guest in someone's home, and why Russians don't smile when they are walking down the street. Russia has such an incredibly long, complicated history that it can be overwhelming for people to grasp. In his book Russia: A Short History, Abraham Ascher does a good job of condensing this long history into a short, (about 250 pages) yet insightful guide.
Travelers will have a better understanding of the current state of Russian politics and economics as they relate to the rest of the world. Travelers probably won't want to learn the entire Russian language just for their trip so a Russian phrase book comes in very handy. There are numerous Russian phrase books available,but Berlitz is especially good. It has a two-way dictionary and over 8000 useful phrases that travelers will need for situations like ordering meals, making reservations, and asking directions. The color-coded sections make it especially easy to use. Russians use the Cyrillic alphabet instead of the Latin alphabet that is used in most western countries sotravelers will find it very helpful to learn Cyrillic before going to Russia. Otherwise, they may not be able to read basic things like street names or train schedules. This book takes readers through the entire Russian Cyrillic alphabet and has many examples that can be used to practice reading. The Trans-Siberian railway is one of the most famous rail routes in the world, going from the Sea of Japan all the way to Moscow.
Travelers in Russia who plan on taking this journey will want to pick up this guidebook from Lonely Planet. Travels in Siberia is more of a travel memoir than a travel guide, but it provides incredible insight into the vast region of Russia called Siberia. The award-winning writer, Ian Frazier, tells stories about his experiences in Siberia, weaving aspects of Russian culture, history, and politics into stories that provide an interesting, humorous depiction of Siberia. There are many travel guides for Russia available. Regardless of what travel guide you buy, there are some things to keep in mind: ● Only Buy Up-to-Date Travel Guides - Russia is a rapidly changing and evolving country andthis is especially true of major Russian cities. If you buy onethat is just a couple years old, it may be outdated so it is important that you always check the publishing date before you buy them. Do not buy any that is more than a couple years old. ● Only Buy Travel Guides from Reputable Publishers - Avoid buying travel guides from small publishing companies without an established reputation assome of these publishers just copy information from other guides so end up having outdated or flat-out wrong information.
It is better to buy guides from reputable publishers who send their writers to Russia to collect information directly. The most respected travel guide publishers are Lonely Planet, Frommer, Bradt, Rough Guide, and Fodor. ● Buy Travel Guides in Advance- It is generally best to buy your travel guides well before your trip so you can read all the information and plan your trip accordingly. You can copy just the important and pertinent information to bring with you instead of lugging around several heavy travel guides on your trip. ● Consider an Electronic Book -Travel books are usually very hefty so you probably won't want to bring them all with you on your trip. Instead, consider buying an iBook version of the travel guide. It is possible to buy travel guides at stores. However, for the best prices and selection, it is usually best to buy travel guides online. One of the best places to do so is eBay. To find Russia travel guides on eBay, shoppers can search for terms like "Russia travel guide" or search for specific titles.
