Visit Northwest


The Northwest of Russia is a region steeped in history and culture. It is home to numerous cities, such as St. Petersburg and the ancient port city of Novgorod. The region is known for its beautiful white nights during the summer, allowing visitors more time outdoors to explore the countryside and take in stunning views of Lake Ladoga and the Gulf of Finland.

Stunning architecture and cultural attractions abound, with St. Petersburg being one of Russia's most popular tourist destinations due to its many palaces, museums, churches, monuments and art galleries as well as its vibrant nightlife. The city also boasts several World Heritage Sites to explore such as Catherine Palace or Peterhof Palace & Park.

Novgorod offers an equally unique experience with its many ancient churches including Yaroslav's Court; one of the oldest Russian Orthodox cathedrals which dates back to 1044 AD! For those looking for something off-the-beaten path there are plenty of small villages located along rivers or lakes where visitors can enjoy traditional activities like fishing or kayaking on a peaceful day away from it all.
