We believe Russia is one of the world's greatest destinations, and one of its least explored. A thousand years of culture, art, history, and faith, open to anyone willing to come and see.

VisitRussia.online is the platform you are reading right now. We educate, inspire, and invite the international visitor on an adventure to Russia. Through stories, city guides, and practical travel advice, we help you imagine the trip and plan it. Our companion web app, VisitRussia.app, handles the booking side.

VisitRussia.app is our web app for planning and booking a trip to Russia in one place. Through the app you can compare and book flights, hotels, and insurance through our trusted partners, and arrange our own services for airport transfers, personal driver hire, and bespoke multi city trips put together by our concierge team.

Yes. VisitRussia.app and our partner network accept international cards, which keeps the booking experience accessible to travellers from any country regardless of the payment restrictions that often apply when booking directly with Russian businesses. This is one of the core problems VisitRussia.app was built to solve.

Foreign cards from outside the country do not work at most points of sale, while Russian issued cards and the Mir payment system does. We cover the practical details on the Travel Guidance page of this site, including which currency to bring, where to exchange it, and how to manage daily spending.

Visa requirements for Russia depend on your country of citizenship and the purpose of your trip. We do not provide visa support, and we strongly recommend checking the most recent guidance from the Russian embassy or consulate in your country, or the official Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs website, before booking any travel. Visa policies have changed several times since 2022 and the most accurate, up to date information will always come from an official source.
