Ever thought of visiting far-east Russia? Situated in Russia's maritime region, Vladivostok was a closed city for many years and only as recently as 1992 have visitors from other countries been allowed in. Sitting by the shores of the Pacific Ocean, Vladivostok is far from Moscow and is close to the Chinese border. Unlike Moscow and St Petersburg, Vladivostok can offer you a real taste of Russia!
City Walking Tour: See our beautiful decorated Russian churches as well as our Catholic Cathedral which is currently being re-built.
Yul Brynner, famous Hollywood film star was born here and his parents' house still stands on Aleutskaya Street.
Vladivostok boasts the only working funicular railway in the whole of Russia. Take a ride up to the Eagle's Nest - the highest point where you can see a panoramic view of Golden Horn Bay and the busy city port.
Our railway station lies at the end of the Trans-Siberian rail route - the longest railway in the world!
The newly created embankment promenade offers a leisurely walk by the Sport Harbour. Here you find a beach and lots of bars and cafes.
Shopping is a must and Vladivostok has many western-style stores where you can browse and maybe part with your roubles. Don't forget to pick-up some souvenirs of your visit. If you prefer a little less walking, a visit to the aquarium or the cinema coffee-shop with its fantastic view over the beach is a great way to relax.
