Vladivostok
Vladivostok is well-known for being one of Russia's most beautiful port cities, situated on the Pacific Ocean's shores. It also happens to be one of the most beautiful destinations that serves as the terminus of the iconic Trans Siberian Railway.
Vladivostok, considered to be the best urban settlement in the heart of Siberia, is ironically closer to Japan, China, and Korea than its own Moscow, which is about 4000 miles away. Exploring Vladivostok, with its many notable attractions such as the Russky Bridge, Vladivostok Fortress, and Primorsky Oceanarium, has to be one of the best things to do in Russia in the New Year.
Nowadays, Vladivostok is a modern city that draws attention of travelers from all over the world by its one-of-a-kind nature, lovely sceneries, loose military-historical monuments and unique shade of sea romance. Vladivostok is truly a very special city. Grounded on the junction of land and sea, Europe and Asia, it is strikingly different from most Russian cities.
