Russia

Rostov on Don

Our parents packed their stuff into the car and happily rushed to the new cities of the big country and we usually complain there is nowhere to go. And there is a city on the south of Russia where gastronomic pleasures, numerous cultural events, festivals and art places can be found. Rostov is in tune with the times – changing, corresponding all the trends and becoming a decent option for a weekend visit.

Sochi

Everybody knows that the nights are dark in Sochi. As well as the Olympic games were held there. But not everyone is aware that the city which was a top of vacation dreams of our grandparents, is now turning into a trendy, modern holiday resort where all can find leisure activities for themselves: surf spots for active tourists, beaches and bowery parks – for those who enjoy lazy relax, pine forests, waterfalls, nature reserves and even relic yew and boxwood groves for nature beauty lovers. Moreover, it will take you not more than an hour to reach the mountains and change beach flip-flops to snowboard. Green, vivid, amazingly various - Sochi fascinates with slightly felt Caucasian character and light touch of soviet romance.

Kaliningrad

Kaliningrad is the city with special identity and it has gone through many changes during its history. It was thought to be the most beautiful city of Europe: with its castle, opening bridges, low houses from red bricks and with dozens of medieval churches. During the war the city had been almost razed to the ground and Soviet architects later built it on their taste. Now the city is gradually involving into the new rhythm of life as the main European city of Russia and is searching for its new identity. This route will take you through young Kaliningrad, that is full of fresh ideas and projects.

Imagine the best what Russia has: vast expanses, various nature, generous soul, girls of amazing beauty, banya (bathhouse) after all. Add to it everything that attracts in Moscow: gastronomic restaurants, rampant parties, TV and Instagram celebrities all around. Shake but do not stir and you will get Rosa Khutor 2017 – the correct balance of healthy lifestyle and luxury. Krasnaya Polyana also attracts by its availability: the flight takes only two hours and a half, no need to make visa, taxi can be ordered via the known app for 1400 Russian rubles, and the time from the airport to the hotel is less than an hour! Where else can you find the same? Local infrastructure is at all not worse than in the Alps, it even anticipates the expectations: here it is tastier, cozier and merrier. And I haven’t yet said about the astonishing temperature contrasts – it’s winter on the top and summer at the foot! Moreover, despite the spring coming, you still have time to experience it all by yourself – record amount of snow promises to prolong the ski season for whole April, and the resort meanwhile offers very attractive price for this period!

Rosa Khutor: Russia you want to live in

Sochi is like mosaic, in both geographic and conceptual senses. The territory of the resort consists of three parts – Sochi, Adler and Krasnaya polyana, and as for the cultural heritage, it is now a mix of empire heritage of Soviet Union left in the form of pompous sanatoriums, sprawling railway stations and ports, interspersing of Khrushev’s times, Russia of 90’s and the new wave of Olympic construction, from which modern resort industry is now trying to shape.
