Russia Tourism
One of the most beautiful places in the world, Russia is home to 23 UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
The world's largest country is a tourist heaven for travelers with historic monuments, museums, scenic countryside and epic train rides.
However Russia lies eerily isolated this year, courtesy the COVID-19  pandemic.
Moscow
The bustling streets of Moscow before Coronavirus.
Moscow's landmark Red Square lies vacant amid Covid.
The Lenin's Mausoleum
Before Coronavirus
The Lenin Mausoleum
During the Covid Era
The most frequented tourist spots of Kazan lies vacant.
And so do the streets.
Omsk
The most picturesque place in Russia ...
... lies isolated.
Volgograd
Situated on the banks of the Volga river, this city is home to the Second World War.
Volgograd's famous stadium has no spectators since March 2020.
Well-known for The Motherland Calls statue, the tourist place lies vacant.
A magnificent front view of The Motherland Calls statue.
Novgorod
The red-brick fortress walls of Kremlin, which is a famous tourist attraction lies untouched by any tourist activity .
It is also famous for its Millennium of Russia Monument, which sadly lies un-visited in 2020.
Nizhny
It has the medieval fortress and now is home to a famous museum.
Ckalov Stairs in Nizhny lie devoid of any tourist activity.
Novosibirsk
Novosibirsk's Nikolai Chapel has no takers this year.
The famous Opera and Ballet Theater in Novosibirsk saw less audience.
Russia borders the European and the Asian Countries and has one of the most unique cultures and a thriving tourism industry.
Russian Tourism Industry
  • The tourism industry has suffered a loss.
  • There will be revised visa requirements once the strong wave of Coronavirus eases.
