Where to go to November holidays in Russia

Three days off at the beginning of November is a good reason to make sure that you don't have to fly far away for miracles. Find yourself in oriental tale, you can feel like a European or admire the breathtaking mountain landscapes in your home country.

A couple of weeks before the Day of National Unity, air tickets within Russia are slightly more expensive. Even if you buy tickets for November to Kazan, St. Petersburg or Altai the day before departure, overpay no more than 1200 rubles per person. And if you book flights in Russia in advance, you will generally save up to a third of their average annual cost.

Kazan

Short daylight hours in November Kazan is enough to have time to see the Kazan Kremlin with a temple and a mosque, the falling Syuyumbike tower and the spectacular Palace of Farmers. After sunset, it's great to walk along the Kazan Arbat: Bauman Street is especially good in the evening lights. If you get cold, it doesn't matter - the hearty tutyrma, manti and echpochmaks in the House of Tatar Culinary will quickly warm you up.

In November, Kazan is good to admire from the window of a warm bus. A local doubledecker with cozy blankets and an audio guide will take you for a ride through the smart streets of the capital of Tatarstan. The ticket is valid for two days: you can book a hotel somewhere along the route and save on a taxi.

One of the days in Kazan should be devoted to museums. At the Museum of Illusions, take a photo with zombies and swim on the Titanic. At the Museum of Happy Childhood, knock on a pioneer drum, and at a music workshop in the interactive Bibars Sarai, learn how the kurai differs from the kubyz. Be sure to drive your car to the island city of Sviyazhsk and admire wooden church XVI century, built without a single nail. Milk fogs, which are not uncommon here in November, add even more mystery to this place.

Saint Petersburg

In November, Peter is unlikely to please sunny weather but a warm cultural welcome is guaranteed. Be impressed by the grandeur of the Kazan Cathedral, visit the Kandinsky exhibition at the Russian Museum for free, and spend at least 4 hours exploring the Hermitage. In the afternoon, climb to Isaac to admire the Neva and drawbridges, and in the evening go to the Mariinsky Theater to enjoy the ballet The Fountain of Bakhchisarai or the mastery of the great conductor Valery Gergiev in Turandot. Watch the second coming of Tsiolkovsky on New Holland Island, stroke a sphinx in the Republic of Cats, take a walk through the street art museum at the Laminated Plastics Plant, and finally stain your nose with powdered sugar from the legendary donuts on Bolshaya Konyushennaya.

In the center of St. Petersburg, there are a lot of beautiful hostels and inexpensive apart-hotels - you can stay a block from Chizhik-Pyzhik and pay less than 1000 rubles for 2 nights. It is especially great to spend the night in an apartment with an exit from the front door to the roof and admire the views of the Venice of the North, wrapped in a blanket.

Altai

In November, it will be snowy and frosty in Altai with an average air temperature of -8.5 ° C. Dress warmly, rent a car and go explore Altai reserves and meet shamans.

In 157 km from Gorno-Altaysk you will find the tranquil landscapes of Altai nature reserve and Lake Teletskoye with amazing winter fishing in the northern part. Try to lure grayling, burbot, or pike. But the Teletsky whitefish, which is found only here, you can catch without much difficulty. While walking around the reserve, you can easily come across a sable, Siberian ibex or even a reindeer. If you are ready to walk 10 kilometers in one direction, you will see the 160-meter cascade waterfall Uchar of unearthly beauty.

In the Katunsky biosphere reserve, 450 km from Gorno-Altaysk, it is interesting to look at the drawings in the pagan temple of the Kuylu grotto and Krasnaya Gora with volcanic lakes. The 60-meter waterfall Tekelu, one kilometer from the hiking trail, and the fabulous Akkem Lake belong to the adjacent natural park Belukha. If there is no time and skill to climb highest point Altai mountains, at least just admire the majestic Belukha - it was not for nothing that they called her the Altai Kailash. And to fully immerse yourself in the magic of Altai, book a meeting with a shaman and find out your future.

Which neighboring countries to fly to for November

In November, you can still find warmth in neighboring countries, and tickets are inexpensive right up to the very departure. For example, if you buy tickets to Minsk on November 4 a week before departure, overpay no more than 450 rubles. And by booking tickets to Azerbaijan or Estonia on the eve of National Unity Day, you can even save from one to seven thousand rubles on the ticket.

Minsk, Belarus

It will be chilly anyway on the Pirita embankment, but if you dress warmly, it is good to walk in the Old Town.

In Tallinn, it is interesting to see medieval buildings, running into small cafes for a cup of coffee and Vana Tallinn liqueur.

Celebrating National Unity Day in Baku - great idea: in early November in Azerbaijan it is usually warm and dry. Some daredevils even swim in the Caspian Sea, although the water temperature does not exceed + 17 ° C.

Then take a look at the Maiden Tower and see how Azerbaijan lived in the Middle Ages.
