Russia Overview
In Eastern Europe and Northern Asia, Russia is the world's largest country, spanning 11 time zones. Its capital, Moscow, is a vibrant hub of culture and history. Though Russia is a year-round destination, summer (June to August), the dry season, is the peak time. The temperatures sway in 50-85°F. September to November (fall) is moderate, but tourism gains momentum in winter. Despite the bone-chilling cold, snow-clad terrain in winter pulls the winter sports enthusiasts.
Sheremetyevo International Airport (SVO) and Vnukovo International Airport (VKO)are the primary international airports in Moscow. American Airlines, Emirates, Etihad, Turkish Airlines, and Uzbekistan Airlines are the popular airlines from the USA to Russia.
