Best Time To Visit Russia

The main holiday season for a Russian trip is July and August as they are the warmest months.  It also happens to coincide with the wettest time of the year when rains come down one day in every three. To avoid the crowds and the rain, May-June or September-October are the other options.   he early autumn season finds the leaves beginning to change colour into fall hues, one may pick mushrooms and berries or picnic along the riverbanks with just the slightest nip in the air. Winter is bitter but beautiful. Russia wears another look altogether, white Russia at its pretty post card best. Winter months also are theatre season with many new shows premiering, sleigh rides and snowballs, Yuletide and New Year and perfect for those slugs of vodka  that send the blood gushing as Russia lies covered in a blanket of snow. Spring on the other hand is slushy, muddy and generally depressing, not quite the time for a visit to Russia.
