USP of Russia

Ecological Tourism:

Laos strongly promotes ecological tourism with rich in mineral wealth and hydro-power potential.

Winter:

There is nothing quite like Russia in winter. Troika rides, ice-sculpture excursions and vatrushka (traditional Russian sleds) rentals can all be included in our tours.

Vodka:

The Mother nation of vodka, is known for its pure and smooth vodka production. Vodka is native to Russia, even though there are lots of countries on Earth that make vodka, so it should come as no surprise that Russia consumes more vodka than any other country on Earth.

Palaces, Theatre, Museums:

Astonishing Palaces with unparalleled refinement in the homes of the Tsar and the imperial court. Ballet, opera and classical music are to this day a coroner stone of Russian culture. Since Peter the Great’s campaign to modernise Russia, museums have been at the centre of public life.

The Russian metro stations are truly an art work. Renowned artists and architects were summoned to accomplish this bold project, which resulted in extremely sophisticated constructions. The metro in Moscow was opened in 1935, with 11km in extension and 13 stations. Currently, it has almost 350km and more than 200 stations, being the 5th largest in the world.
