If you're thinking of taking a trip to Russia, make sure you enjoy the most fabulous offerings and making it the ultimate holiday experience.

Moscow is of course home to some of Russia's most iconic and exciting experiences. A trip to see stunning landmarks such as the ornate St Basil's cathedral - which is also a museum on the inside - is sure to be unforgettable, while many travellers make sure to pay a visit to the Red Square once they arrive in the capital. The Kremlin is another extremely popular destination and jewel lovers will be particularly enthralled with the diamond collection in the Armory.

Art lovers visiting the capital will find incomparable experiences at the Tretyakov Gallery and Pushkin Museum and those searching for the ultimate night out will find everything they hoped for at Moscow clubs such as Fabrique, the Gogol Bar and Propaganda.

One Russian experience that is sure to have a lasting effect on travellers is a ride on the Trans-Siberian Railway. It's the longest railway in the world, and Russian holidaymakers can jump on or off in Moscow to enjoy an unforgettable trip on its scenic and historic route between the capital and Vladivostok. It also offers a great way for travellers to take a trip to Lake Baikal to witness the planet's oldest and deepest lake for themselves, the views are gorgeous and you'll have the option of booking boat rides on arrival.

History buffs will find that Saint Petersburg is the ideal destination for them to absorb some of Russia's most enthralling sights. The city is home to the Hermitage, a world-class museum loved by many, as well as a huge number of gorgeous buildings and relics that make it a not to be missed example of Russia's past.
