Why You Want to Go to Russia for the World Cup

Russia isn’t the cold, dark country that Cold War era media would have you believe. In the summer, many of its cities experience light for up to 20 hours a day. The weather is sunny and warm, and the Russian people live for the outdoors: sunbathing in public parks, dining in sidewalk cafes, swimming in rivers, barbequeing at countryside homes, and hiking through the vast, green forests that are all over the country.

Because of Russia’s long history of revolution, visible markers of its fascinating past can be seen all over. Architecture, monuments, street names, and public places span centuries of styles and ideologies, making any sight-seeing in this country a true whirlwind through history. From ancient cathedrals to Lenin iconography to modern skyscrapers, Russian cityscapes are unlike anything in the western world.

Russia is also MASSIVE. Even with the host cities limited to just the western part of the country, traveling in Russia for the World Cup gives you the chance to see a huge variation in landscape and cities. Russia is an incredibly diverse country, with its many regions each offering its own unique culture, languages, and flavor.
