Russia holidays and breaks to st petersburg & moscow

The countries of Eastern Europe have traditions, cultures and customs long quarantined by politics or conflict, with remarkable medieval cities, charming and un-spoilt people and a fresh appeal.  If you are looking to go a little further afield, why not try a Russia holiday for breaks to St Petersburg and Moscow?

St Petersburg holidays and Moscow holidays with Abercrombie & Kent get you closer to the people and places that make these countries special.

It is impossible to encapsulate the vastness and diversity of Russia in just a few lines. A Russia holiday can offer a wealth of possibility, from the vast stretches of frozen tundra of Siberia to the Black Sea resorts, from the bears and volcanic hot springs of Kamchatka to Lake Baikal, the world's deepest lake, there is so much to see. The highlights have to be the two famous cities, breaks to St Petersburg and Moscow will deliver, the latter being iconic and dynamic and the former more cultured and historic.

Pricing
At A&K all of our journeys are individually tailored to suit your needs and timescale. However as a guide, 4 night holidays in St Petersburg or 4 night holidays in Moscow can be arranged from £875 per person including flights from the UK and subject to availability.
