It combines features of large industrial city with provincial Russian countryside. Visit Pechersky Ascension Monastery, All-Russia Exhibition 1896, or take a day cruise on Volga River. Our next stop is Kazan city. It is one of the largest industrial and financial centers of Russia. Since 2000, the city has been undergoing a total renovation. The historical center, including its Kazan Kremlin, has been rebuilt. Yekaterinburg city is one of the largest cities in Russia.

Novosibirsk city is a great stop for folks interested in science, music, and archeology. The city stands on the banks of the Ob River. Visit Alexander Nevsky Cathedral and Novosibirsk Opera and Ballet Theatre. Feel like taking a hike after long train rides, Krasnoyarsk city is the one. Take a day tour to Stolby Nature Reserve for a nice hike, or a tour to see mighty Krasnoyarsk Dam on Yenisei River. The stop in Irkutsk will show you that Siberia is not just about cold and exile. Irkutsk city is the gateway to Lake Baikal. It is one of the charming cities in Russia with beautiful wooden architecture. We recommend staying at least 1 nights in the city and 1 night on the lake. The stop in Ulan-Ude will introduce you to the largest Buddhist community in modern Russia. Make sure to visit the The Ivolginsky Datsan (Temple). If time allows, take a day trip to visit the Old
Believers. The stop in Khabarovsk city will introduce you to one of the largest cities of the Russian Far East. It is located on the banks of Amur River near Chinese border. During the Soviet period the city was never closed to foreign visitors. This allowed Khabarovsk to save the architecture and develop a friendly culture with many museums, theaters, and strong educational base. Khabarovsk's streets are clean, green, colorful, and full of life. Take a river cruise on Amur river, day tour to see Petroglyphs of Sikachi-Alyan or trip to Troitskoe village to learn about life of native people, the Nanai.
