Russia is one of the most fascinating countries that you’ll visit today. Years of closed protection of the country by the government has done well for Russia as the structures centuries ago are still in perfect condition. The food, the language and even the religion has a different take in Russia. It’s always intriguing and enjoyable to be in Russia.
But Russia has become one of the most expensive countries in the world especially for tourists. The popularity of Russia as a tourist destination has practically increased everything for the tourists.
There are however, ways on how to save in your next Russian adventure:
Avoid packaged offers – the easiest way to get in Russia is to have a packaged tour of Russia. But this is a very bad idea unless you want to be constricted by the schedule and would have to pay a higher fee in almost everything. Your travel agent should only be providing you airline tickets. You’re better off doing all the reservations.
Book your hotel when you get there – this is a little bit risky since you may not know if there’s any available hotel when you get there. But anything that you can book online is a very expensive hotel. Research a little bit before you arrive there to get the hotels you want without the expensive middle men.
Get a visa three months before you travel – avoid the difficulty of having to rush on a Visa by applying for one three months before your travel date. The less rush you need the more savings you’ll enjoy. There are Visa services companies that you can tap and will help you get your Visa without too much effort in your end.
