What's a good itinerary to see Russia as a tourist if one has between 10-14 days. Also are there any reasonably priced hotels in St Petersburg and Moscow (around 175-225 USD a night). Most seem to be upwards of 500 USD. The city appears to be more expensive than Paris, at least hotel rates wise.

Solution: Don't go to those 2 cities. There are many other cities in Russia to stay at that are much cheaper. But even for Moscow I find it impossible to believe that there are no hotels cheaper than $500 per night, unless you are only considering 5 star hotels.

Meeting Kasparov would be bad ass. But seriously, when in mother russia i would rather meet Fedorov. Saw that guy flying down the ice with Ovechkin from the front row in Vancouver. What a savage...

Someday I would love to go and visit someday. I'd love to visit the monument outside Volgograd, see the remnants from the gulag in Siberia, visit the Hermitage, admire the Lubyanka from a far, far, distance, and take in a nice sauna followed by a roll in the snow!

1) Are the wimminz really as hot as they say?Originally Posted by dtmt
2) Is the food really as bad as they say?
3) Do they really drink as much vodka as people say?
1) I think they say so cause of the style women here prefer for dressing - high heels, dresses, make-up and so on )
2) No, you just need to know the right place to go
3) No, russians drink vodka not more then all the other people of the world

Wow. I didn't even know our hotels are that expencive!
As for me, i don't like hotels that much at all, so every time i travel, i stay in the apartments. The best way to feel the city is to live there like locals do

I should do Russia. I have a pretty good friend who just moved back to Moscow. Never been to Eastern Europe....can't see myself getting the time off before like February though (lunar new year) and I would have to be insane to go to Russia in Feb.
