Russia Travel and Vacation – Good to know
Yes, you need a visa to enter Russia. This cannot be obtained upon arrival, but only in advance at the Russian embassy or online. Prepare all necessary documents, including an invitation. Note that processing may take some time, so plan ahead!
Sheremetyevo Airport (SVO) in Moscow is the largest and best equipped. Alternatively, Pulkovo Airport in St. Petersburg and the airports in Yekaterinburg and Kazan are also good options. Be sure to check the connections to the capitals early to plan your motorcycle trips.
The local currency is the Ruble (RUB). Credit cards are accepted in large cities, but it is advisable to carry enough cash for rural areas. ATMs are widely available, but make sure your card is internationally usable. A little cash for small purchases is always helpful.
Recommended vaccinations are hepatitis A/B and tetanus. In some cases, an anti-rabies vaccination may be necessary, especially if you visit rural areas. A sufficient travel insurance is essential to be covered in case of emergency. Don't forget to carry a copy of your insurance.
For driving in Russia you need a national driver's license and often an international driver's license. Check carefully whether the motorcycle category is covered. Make sure to always carry all relevant documents with you to avoid potential issues with the authorities.
SIM cards are easily available in Russia. They can be purchased at stores of mobile network providers or even in supermarkets. Choose a provider with good network coverage like MTS, Megafon, or Beeline. Make sure to have your passport ready during registration to activate the card.
