Flights are often used for longer distances, while trains - which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/en\/2013\/03\/resan-med-transsibiriska\/\">Trans-Siberian railway<\/a> - is a classic way to travel through the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Russia safe to travel to?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The safety situation is currently uncertain, and it is important to follow official recommendations and advice from authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the most famous travel destinations in Russia?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moscow and St Petersburg are the most visited cities, with history, architecture and culture.
