List of the most interesting places to go in Russia by car.
Russia is a big country, and there are many places where you can go on a fascinating journey. It all depends only on your current location. No matter how beautiful and interesting it may be in the Far East or even on Lake Baikal and in Transbaikalia, for example, from Moscow, not everyone dares to go so far. And vice versa: are there many people willing to go to the Crimea or the Caucasus by car from Vladivostok, Irkutsk, Krasnoyarsk?
What way can you find a way out if you really want to visit some place and go for a drive there, but you don't want to spend a week on the way? You can also rent a car there. This saves time, money, effort, and you can choose a car for every taste: even an SUV, even a convertible, even a minivan. It is convenient to search and select a car rental on the Skyscanner Car Hire service.
So, where would I go on a trip by car in Russia myself and recommend to others?

North Caucasus
Went here in the fall of 2016. Stunning beauty, unthinkable variety of natural, historical and cultural attractions. The Bermamyt plateau, the Elbrus region, the vicinity of Arkhyz, Lago-Naki - you can't list everything! The region is quite densely populated, there are many large and medium-sized cities, so civilization, if necessary, is always at hand. By the way, a car trip across the North Caucasus can be successfully combined with - people who have been there leave rave reviews.
