Where to go for the November holiday: the best routes in Russia

For anyone who is officially so tired (read: can’t tell if they woke up in the morning), there is good news – we have a weekend ahead of us, albeit a small one. We don’t know about you, but The Fashion Vibes editors are planning these three days to rest and regain strength before the December race so they can meet all the deadlines, buy gifts for their relatives, and still not go crazy.

At one of the dinners it turned out that all my colleagues were planning a trip to Russia this fall. Moreover, the routes are completely different – from the nearest Moscow region to the Altai Mountains. Therefore, if you are still wondering where to go during the November holiday, this material is for you.

We will tell you where to go for three days so that you have time to rest and start over. And don’t worry, you won’t have to spend too much time on the road. We chose routes suitable for short trips.

Saint Petersburg

If you don’t know where to go, St. Do not hesitate to buy tickets to St. Petersburg. You definitely can’t go wrong. However, remember that in November the winds are stronger than anywhere else. So, it is quite possible to implement your plan of spending the whole day at the hotel, lying on your bed in your white bathrobe. Well, if such a holiday is not for you, go to renew the cultural debt of all tourists to the Hermitage and the Mariinsky Theatre. Sure it’s corny, but it’s a staple.

Nizhny Novgorod

While some of my subscriptions on a banned social network fly to Thailand for the winter, the author of this text buys tickets to Nizhny Novgorod for the November holidays. And although I may be less lucky with the weather there, my feelings certainly won’t be any worse. Moreover, in recent years, so many gastronomic projects have appeared in Nizhny that, as you understand, it would be a shame if a food editor or just a food lover was not involved. The city is also ideal for traveling with close friends. Imagine: After long walks in the historical district, you go to the famous Copper Pipes bar to warm up, and in the morning you go to the British Embassy for breakfast. Here’s your weekend schedule.

Boiler

If you have been planning to go to Kazan for a long time, do not postpone the opportunity to do it during the November holidays. The good thing is that there are so few tourists there now that you will definitely be able to explore the entire city and not encounter constant human “traffic jams”. Believe me, pedestrian traffic in Kazan in the summer is no worse than Patriarch’s. If you are afraid of frost in general, explore the city according to its national cuisine. It is almost a crime to visit Kazan and not eat echpochmaks.

Sochi

Those who want to warm up should go to Sochi. But remember that you should not wait more than +15 degrees. Well, be prepared for the sea breeze on the set to give way to a cold wind. If you don’t want to freeze, go to the mountains. Moreover, if you are very lucky, you can even try snowboarding or skiing. And by the way, at a reasonable price – you can significantly save on ski lifts and equipment rental due to the beginning of the season in November. If active relaxation isn’t your thing, check out the Green Flow healing hotel and enjoy the mountain views between wellness treatments. What could be better before the ever-burning December?

Kaliningrad

There are three must-visit places in Kaliningrad: Curonian Spit, Dolce Vita restaurant and Nordic Spa. You can create your ideal weekend travel plan at these addresses. True, we still recommend planning a trip in the morning to the most Instagrammable* (banned in the Russian Federation) spa on the coast of the Baltic Sea – there will be fewer people and the water in the barrels will be cleaner. If you want a cultural program, we recommend you go to the Cathedral in Kaliningrad and listen to the organ concert. It costs only 450 rubles, and the impressions will remain until your next trip.
