Best time to visit Russia

While Russia is a popular destination to visit all year round, April-June is the ideal time to go due to a number of factors such as the climate, cost of travel and accommodation, as well as avoiding peak holiday periods.

In summer, temperatures can reach as high 32℃ (89℉) in the middle of the day in Moscow. The temperature at night in the winter can drop to as low as -20℃ (-3℉), although this can differ at other destinations across Russia depending on the geography.

If you’re keen to see the sights of Russia during the day, the sun stays up the longest around June. May sees the most amount of rain in a month if you’re ok with chancing getting drenched, so if you’re looking to stay dry, visit in February instead.
