The countries of Eastern Europe have traditions, cultures and customs long quarantined by politics and conflict. But today the remarkable medieval cities and charming people of Russia offer a fresh appeal. So if you are looking to go a little further afield, why not try a Russia holiday or short break 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 - vast stretches of frozen tundra in Siberia, the Black Sea resorts, the bears and volcanic hot springs of Kamchatka, and Lake Baikal, the world's deepest lake. The highlights have to be the two famous cities and short breaks to cultured and historic St Petersburg and iconic and dynamic Moscow will certainly deliver.

Guest Testimonial
Quite simply excellent. If I could say one thing it is that Egypt is the place to go right now, as there were virtually no tourists at some of the sights and that,I should think, is quite rare!
