Steps
- Organise your Russian visa. You may require a visa to visit Russia. Contact your Russian consulate or embassy in your country for more information and be sure to leave yourself some time for processing.
- Choose your international connection. You will need to chose an international hub to connect to your flight into Siberia. Travellers from America and Europe best use Moscow and St Petersburg as their hub. Flyers from Asia and Oceania should use Beijing or Bangkok as their connecting flight.
- Choose your Siberian destination. From your international hub you can chose your Siberian destination. There are several flights that operate, but Major cities that are a must see are Novosibirsk, Vladivostok, Khabarovsk, Krasnoyarsk, Ulan Ude, Irkutsk, Yakutsk and Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky.
