Exchanging Money in Russia

Concerning currency exchange, USD and Euros are more commonly used. Money changers are available across the country, with signs hung up outside the store. But these money changers will not accept torn or damaged notes. ATMs and banks are very easily available and accessible, with Visa and Master Cards accepted widely. Sberbank is one bank that you will find in every Russian city, and there is always an ATM close to it, so there should not be any trouble regarding currency exchange.

Nightlife in Russia

Russian nightlife is considered to be quite lively. One can experience the best kind of nightlife at St.Petersburg and Moscow. Bars, dance clubs, theatre nights and other festive events are what you can expect here. Night clubs bring in a lot of DJs, many of them having an international reputation, so you can rest assured that entertainment here is always top-notch. There are also discotheques, casinos, and places offering musical nights and opera shows. If you're a theatre fan, make sure to visit Bolshoi theatre for some wonderful, romantic plays.

Shopping in Russia

Russia is home to a lot of malls, markets and streets selling everything from the latest fashions to the choicest produce. Shopping centers in the major cities will have a lot of well-known brands to shop from. A lot of old factories in Russia have been developed and turned into shopping complexes, so you can always ask the locals to point you to the best ones. But if you want authentically Russian commodities, you can visit the markets and shop for souvenirs, jewelry, cheaper clothes and more.

Festivals of Russia

Russians celebrate a lot of events. Visiting during the festival time is always a good idea, as the region comes to life with cheer, colour and sheer joy. Some of the important festivals of Russia are Maslenitsa or Pancake Week, Easter, Victory Day, Christmas, the White Nights Festival and Moscow Music Spring Festival.

Hygiene in Russia

When buying fruits and vegetables from outside, make sure to wash them well, as diseases have been known to spread out by consuming them without washing them. Public toilets are available, and they are clean. Hygiene facilities in Russia are well above average. Tourists do, however, tend to carry bottles of packaged water with them, as a safety precaution.

Customs of Russia

When conversing with the elderly, always talk with utmost respect, as that is the norm. Do not sit down on the ground or place your feet on someone's table, as these are considered crass and impolite. Do not dress very outlandishly, as dressing to attract attention is frowned upon. Concerning tipping, anywhere between 10 to 15% is typical, only if your bill does not mention service tax.

Tips for visiting Russia

Carry good shoes, especially when travelling during the colder months, as protection from the cold and for good traction. Be aware and alert while crossing the road, particularly in the busy crosswalks. Do not rely on ATMs, as they do not work several times, which means you should rely on hard cash. Make sure to dress well, especially while visiting Moscow.

Food of Russia

Russian food is very reflective of their traditions. One can trace the sources of its influence from the various regions within Russia. Pork, fish, poultry and wheat, barley, rice and millet are their staples. Soups are also an integral part of every meal and are divided into hot soups and cold soups. Ukha, shchi and solyanka are some of the more popular ones. Kasha or porridge is also consumed on a large scale here. Apart from that, pancakes and pies which contain different kinds of fillings are also essential elements of Russian cuisine. Regarding beverages, Medovukha, an alcoholic drink is very popular. Kvass is a non-alcoholic drink, prepared using bread.
