Want to travel to Russia? Let's find out when to visit Russia for the best experience!
The sun is slow to appear when Russia's spring starts in March. There is still snow and the weather is cold. It doesn't get warm until 1 May. Although 1 May is known as Labour Day in many countries, in Russia it is called Spring and Labour Day. If you visit in March and April, you can expect lower hotel prices and the chance to enjoy events like Women's Day. But May offers clearer skies and streets with fewer people, making it one of the best times to explore Russia.
Summer lasts from June to August and attracts the most tourists thanks to the warm weather. The beautiful gardens come to life and there are lots of cultural festivals held in the season. In Moscow, the temperature often rises into the 30s. Sometimes it can be chilly because of a sudden rain. During these months, you can follow the Russians who travel south to enjoy the beautiful Black Sea and Altai Mountains.
Autumn is a short but beautiful season. After a grey end to August, the sun often shines throughout September and even into October. This lovely weather is called "Indian summer". The forests turn beautiful colours, making the whole country look amazing. The warm weather is also good for outdoor activities.
Winter in Russia is not as cold as you might think. Outside of Siberia or the Arctic Circle, temperatures often stay around $-7°\mathrm{C}$ in January, the coldest month. The beautiful snow is perfect for all kinds of winter sports. Russian New Year celebrations last for two weeks, filled with music, dancing and feasts (盛宴), making early January a lively time.
So, when is the best time to visit Russia? That's for you to decide!
