Vladivostok-Moscow: a trip through all of Russia in 6 days

Vladivostok is the capital of Primorsky Krai with a huge trading port. It was founded in 1860 as a Russian Far Eastern outpost on the Pacific coast and still carries out this mission.

Vladivostok - the pearl of Primorye

The city with a population of more than 600 thousand people is located on a peninsula that is very prominent in the Sea of ​​Japan and washed from the west by the Amur Bay, and from the east by Ussuri.

Vladivostok and Sochi are on the same latitude; watermelons with apricots also ripen here, but the climate in Primorye is harsher. January is considered the coldest winter month, its average temperature is minus 13 ° C, but with a frantic burning wind it seems that all 30 ° C is frost. Spring is quite cold, lingering, until June. In summer, most of the annual precipitation falls. The warmest month is August, its average temperature is above 20 ° C. Autumn is passing quickly. Citizens are accustomed to frequent typhoons and strong winds from the west, then from the east.

• Observation decks from where you can endlessly admire the superb views of the embankments, bridges across the Golden Horn and the ocean.
• A funicular built in the 70s of the last century. He slowly, step by step, leaves the Old Town and approaches modern extravagant high-rise buildings, bringing tourists to the top of the hill, where a magnificent panorama of Vladivostok opens.
• Vladivostok Arbat - Admiral Fokin Street, which leads to the embankment and has become one of the city’s favorite places.
• A rope park where you can imagine yourself Tarzan, cleverly flying from one tree to another.
• Oceanarium, where in one place you can see all the Pacific fauna and flora.
• The only dolphinarium in the Far East.
• Japanese rock garden, which makes you stop and think about the eternal.
• Monument to Vladimir Vysotsky.
