What to visit in Russia? Sights and Russia are, above all, wonderful St. Petersburg and Moscow. These two cities lead the way, attracting the most tourists. However, if you are looking for something beyond them, I recommend you take a look at Veliky Novgorod , Kazan and Nizhny Novgorod. Most of these cities have their own kremlin, i.e. a fortified city characteristic of Ruthenian cities. And, of course, the golden and blue domes that adorn the onion domes of churches and monasteries. What to visit in Russia? What are the greatest monuments of Russia?
