Getting Around in Russia
Russia is a vast country. Covering long distances is part and parcel of visiting this place. The most convenient form of transport then is the railway, as it gets you from point A to point B in a jiffy. Other types include bicycles, buses, planes and boats.
Getting Around Russia By Air
Travelling by plane is also a good option, as the country is so large. Domestic Russian airlines are affordable as well. They include Aeroflot, S7 Airlines, Rossiya Airlines, UTair and Yakutia Airlines.
Getting Around Russia By Rail
This is the most convenient form of transport in Russia. Getting around becomes a whole lot faster. The Russian railway line connects almost every city and town to each other. Commuter trains cover short distances and are very comfortable.
