Few cities can rival the number of art galleries and museums, palaces and monuments.

What to see

Hermitage Museum. To walk through all the halls of the museum, stopping at each exhibit for at least one minute, will take at least 11 years. Therefore, we advise you to choose several of the most interesting exhibitions.
Peterhof. The museum and park complex located in the outskirts of the city is a great place for a walk. There is a lot to see: fountains, gardens, palaces, sculptures. With a leisurely stroll, you can walk around the entire territory in 5 hours.
Drawbridges. Check the wiring schedule and head to the bridge. For example, to Dvortsovoy, which connects the city center and Vasilyevsky Island.

Budget for two

Round-trip tickets for the Sapsan train cost 20,032 rubles.
425 rubles.
Tickets to the Hermitage - 1,660 rubles.

1. Yaroslavl. The most vibrant city of the Golden Ring

What to do: Walk along the Volga embankment and from one old church to another. After ten the most beautiful temples in the center, don’t be too lazy to walk to the more distant St. John the Baptist in Tolchkovo, St. John Chrysostom in Korovniki and St. Nicholas Mokrogo - unwhitewashed, unrestored, but decorated with characteristic Yaroslavl tiles. If there seem to be a lot of temples, devote the rest of the time to less beneficial institutions like bars "Pint" and Dudki. If, on the contrary, you want more antiquities, go to Tutaev or Rostov the Great. On the way to Moscow, devote half a day to Pereslavl-Zalessky, if you are traveling by car, or to Aleksandrov, if by train.

Tickets: From 1100 rub. by express train.

Alternative: There are even more beautiful churches and monasteries in Suzdal, but there are also considerable tourist crowds there. If you want to be further away from Moscow, you can choose the pair Novgorod - Pskov or Vologda with the Kirillo-Belozersky Monastery.

2. Petersburg. Explore new food service

What to do: Inspect new restaurants and bars. Straight off the train, go to the Piggy gastrobar, have a gala dinner at Tse Fung or Duo (it’s better to reserve a table a week in advance from Moscow), and before the evening bar shopping, eat falafel at Bekitser. You can also start drinking there - or go to the secret El Copitas. You should catch the fashion for beer establishments in Redrum and Farsha & Barrel. If you were not in St. Petersburg last year, you should not miss Do Immigration and “Chronicles”; The good old “Clean Plate Society”, “King Pong” and “Products”, fortunately, have not gone away either. The breaks between meals can be filled with trips to museums. For those who do not want to once again visit barge haulers and Italian Madonnas, they will exhibit, for example, Serov, “Ball at the Moulin de la Galette” by Renoir and the Futurists. A fasting day can be spent on the shore Gulf of Finland or in Kronstadt.

Tickets: From 4200 rub. by plane, from 4700 rub. by train "Sapsan", from 2800 rub. in a reserved seat.

Where to live: The best expensive option is the designer W Hotel, and the cheapest option is the Soul Kitchen hostel.

Where there is: We have already said, but if that’s not enough, the St. Petersburg restaurant section afisha.ru is at your service.

What to bring: A couple of bottles of local craft beer.

Alternative: What alternative is there?

3. Sochi. Olympic ghost town and the Black Sea

What to do: First things first - go to Olympic Park. Wandering between the stadiums and along the empty streets of the Olympic Village, you will feel like one of the last inhabitants of the Earth. In the city itself on the May holidays it is also not too crowded (it’s still a little cold to swim) - in the absence of crowds it can be pleasant on the beaches, and in the park-arboretum, and in relict grove in Khosta, and at the Zmeykovsky waterfalls.

Tickets: From 7400 rub. by plane, from 5100 rub. by train

Where to live: For complete immersion, it is better to stay near the coastal cluster itself - there are enough hotels there from Olympic times.

Where there is: Expensive Moscow-style restaurants remain in Krasnaya Polyana - but there is nothing special to do there except during the ski season. The coast is full of shish kebab and khinkal shops; White Nights is especially appreciated by visitors.

What to bring: You can try to find good southern Russian wine that does not reach Moscow, or you can go to the market in the village of Kazachiy Brod for chestnut or cone honey - and at the same time visit a trout nursery.

Alternative: The Olympic Park and Krasnaya Polyana have no analogues, but ordinary Black Sea entertainment can be found in Anapa, Gelendzhik and other coastal cities. You can, of course, go to Crimea - after all, it’s not his fault that it’s ours.

4. Rostov. Russia's bountiful southern underbelly

What to do: Eat often and plentifully. Rostov-Papa is a masculine city, people here are serious (you can see it by walking past rich graves) - so they eat meat here first of all. Previously, the main entertainment was considered to be feasts at the kebab houses of Levberdon, but last years Several decent steakhouses have opened in the center, and now it makes sense to go across the river, rather, for the sake of sociocultural observations. An almost more important thing is to walk through the markets where meat for steaks and kebabs is purchased; The fish rows also make a strong impression - it’s just a pity that the crayfish season starts later.

Tickets: From 7000 rub. by plane, from 4200 rub. by train

Where to live: Not far from the station there is a good small hotel “House of Artist”.

Where there is: The downtown food trail should include Eat and Drink and the Cow Bar and Restaurant. A proven kebab shop on the left bank of the Don - “Cossack Farm”.

What to bring: You can buy jam, honey and pickles at the same Central Market.

Alternative: Another southern city, not devoid of harsh romance, is Krasnodar. True, lately even the name of the ZIP (Measuring Instruments Plant) district has been associated not with the search for heady adventures, but with modern art.

5. Kazan. Emirate on the Volga

What to do: Confused about whether you ended up in Russia. Doubts may appear even at the sight of the mosque decorating the center of the Kremlin, or the eclectic Palace of Farmers, and if you get out to the Staro-Tatarskaya Sloboda and the openwork sky-blue Asimov Mosque, it’s easy to get completely confused. You need to consolidate your impression by eating belyashi, echpochmak, homemade noodles and horse meat sausage, and you can unwind in the old quarters around the university (the most beautiful mansion is occupied by National Library Tatarstan) or sailing to the Orthodox monastery on the island of Sviyazhsk.

Tickets: From 5800 rub. by plane, from 3000 rub. by train.

Where to live: A surprisingly decent hotel is called Art.

Where there is: Soviet in spirit, a cheap canteen with excellent Tatar pastries - “House of Tea”.

What to bring: A beautiful skullcap, as well as chak-chak and other honey sweets.

Alternative: National character you can search in Cheboksary, and the Kremlin on the banks of the Volga is in Nizhny Novgorod(perhaps it is even more beautiful than the Kazan one).

6. Petrozavodsk. The beauty of the Russian north without the summer mosquitoes

What to do: Rent a house in the suburbs, on the shores of Lake Onega. Agree with some boatman or just rent a motorboat and sail along the lakes and channels, admiring the views, looking at the villages and chapels along the banks, or trying to find Kikimora, like the postman Tryapitsyn. They don’t promise to open navigation to Kizhi before mid-May, but if you’re lucky, you definitely have to sail. If you are unlucky, you can somehow console yourself by reaching the Assumption Church in Kondopoga.

Tickets: From 11300 rub. by plane, from 3600 rub. by train

Where to live: It’s easy to find cottages and village huts available for weekend rentals on the Internet.

Where there is: The Karelian Gornitsa restaurant is taking the revival of national cuisine seriously. In addition, you should try pies, kalitki and shangi in bakeries and stalls scattered around the city.

What to bring: A bottle of Karelian balsam or rowan tincture.

Alternative: If the landscapes of Zvyagintsev are closer to you than the landscapes of Konchalovsky, you need to go even further north: you can go to Teriberka itself through Murmansk, or you can go to Solovki - if you want at least some kind of cultural program.

7. Kaliningrad. Baltic resorts, German quarters and Köngsberg marzipan

What to do: Having examined Kant Island on the first day with Gothic cathedral and a new embankment with the Museum of the World Ocean (allowed on several ships and a submarine), continue to adhere to a strict schedule. For the next walks around the city, leave the evenings (in the northern areas - for example, along Telman, Kutuzov and Krasnaya streets - many German mansions have been preserved), and every morning choose a new direction for a trip to the region: the resort Zelenogradsk and Svetlogorsk with German churches, houses, train stations , Curonian Spit with its alien landscapes, Baltiysk with the ruins of fortresses and a ship cemetery, and Yantarny with its quarry, where 80% of the world's amber is mined (you can arrange a tour).

Tickets: From 8600 rub. by plane, from 4300 rub. by train

Where to live: The main success of the project to renovate the embankment is the Shkiperskaya and Kaiserhof hotels.

Where there is: To the north of the center, on the shores of Lake Superior, there is a good Uzbek restaurant Shark, and bakeries of the Königsbäcker chain are scattered throughout the city.

What to bring: Something not vulgar made of amber (although you'll have to look for it) or some German relic from an antique store.

Alternative: If a lively city and decent cafes and restaurants are not mandatory conditions for you, then you can live right in Svetlogorsk or Zelenogradsk - with a view of the sea.

8. Voronezh. Cultural capital of the Black Earth Region

What to do: Make friends with one of the locals (it’s best to do this at the BKWSK bar) and entrust them with further cultural program: exhibitions at the Center for Contemporary Art.

Where there is: Nice cafes in the center -

If you take 3 days off in this period, then you get such a great vacation, and you can go somewhere to the sea and the sun.

Greece for May holidays 2019

Greece is the most inexpensive option go on vacation for the May holidays at sea in 2019. Now there is a protracted crisis in the country, so the prices for trips there are very attractive, because... Greece wants to improve its financial situation and is actively inviting tourists. However, there are refugee camps in Greece that discourage tourists. Whether or not to go to Greece for the May holidays is up to you.

As for me, I also succumbed to the wave of popularity of Greece and visited there last May holidays. I can say about the weather that in May it is already quite warm in Greece, 20-25 degrees, but the sea is still cold, both the Mediterranean and the Aegean. In general, the Mediterranean Sea warms up unevenly, and in some places you can already swim in May, but in Greece - well, no. However, it is still worth a visit. Because the cuisine in Greece is simply magical, and the prices - now you will see for yourself.

I found the most inexpensive tour to Greece for the May holidays at a price of 30,375 rubles for two. This is the 2* Margaret Studios hotel.
