The most popular time to come to Moscow is May or September. In these mouths, the weather is very pleasant. In may it’s very warm and you can walk a lot. Often you can see blooming parks. Every year on may 9, the victory parade takes place on red square. In September very warm too, but sometimes it may rain. Very nice the parks. Many tourists visit museums, theaters. New seasons start in autumn. There are no problems with hotels, shops and other entertainment. City days is also held in autumn, many tourists come to celebrate it.
ReplyDeleteKaterina, this is a lovely itorduction of Moscow. If I were a tourist there in the autumn, which month should I pick?
DeleteWow. I've been there, and I really liked your city. I will definitely go to Victory Park again when I arrive, take photos and share them.
DeleteI plan to move to Moscow. How expensive is it to live there? Hopefully I can find a well paid job there.
DeleteMy hometown is Belgorod. It is located in the southwest of Moscow. It is midle continental climate in my home region. This means we don't have a sharp change in weather, everything is going smoothly. My favorite season hear is spring. It is usually thunder and lightening in spring. It is not too cold. About 15 degrees. Nature begins to awaken from winter sleep. Let the first flowers and there is an incredible fragrance around the city! And the most amazing thing is singing birds. The day getting longer than night. In spring I am keen on riding bicycle. I really love feel the wind in my hair. In sunny days my family have a tradition to go to the field or to the forest and celebrate anything. And in pleasant evenings we often have dinner outside (with fire and marshmellows). My other favorite activities is riding scooter in the fields. I prefer fast riding. Unfortunately, I rarely ride because my brothers often break our scooter. I advise my readers to drive to Belgorod in April. It is the most abmirable weather in it.

Hi, incognito - Violetta!
DeleteThat is a great advice for traveling. I am sure it is amazing to see, see and smell the nature waking up. It is really beautiful and make syou wanna wake up from teh winter hybernation a well!
And you hometown lies more to the South than Moscow, so I bet it is much warmer!
Sounds delightful! I think that your family picnics are wonderful tradition.What could be the better than this?!
DeleteI want to ride a bike with you)) and after we will organize a picnic!
Are there interesting sights in Belgorod? Personally, I am interested in all sorts of historical monuments
DeleteFirstly, Mary, you are welcome)) We will have a good time in forests near my house🥰
DeleteSecondly, sorry for what, there are not many historical monuments in my city. We have got some interesting militarty museum, if you of coure interested in it. But there are also many beautiful parks, art museums and music cafe...
ReplyDeleteThe most popular time to come to Yakutsk is December(late winter).
So,the Winter air is cold,floor is cold,all is cold,but people travel in winter for snow, Northern lights and local nature. Temperature much below zero(about -35/-40,and it’s normal for local people’s)
I recommend you dress warmly,take camera and go for a walk. Most tourists are foreigners,few tourists of Russia. So at this time it is always quiet, not crowded and cold:)But you can go for a ski and deer ride, see the northern lights, eat horse meat and fresh fish. Hotels and local food are not expensive. Some problem:
1)it is some expensive to fly to Yakutsk even in winter:(
2)extremely cold.
I hope that helps.
Enjoy your winter trip!)
Wow, Zenia! What a fantastic and freezing trip could it be! I never know that you could see the Northern Lights in Yakutsks. Perhaps, I'll man up to the freezing travel!
DeleteIt’s amazing! I have never eaten horse meat and seen a Northern light. Now I wanted to come to Yakutsk! No wonder there are a lot of foreign tourists. Wait for me, Zenia!
DeleteThe Northern lights are insanely beautiful, I would like to see it live. I love animals very much, so I would be happy to meet the deer and spend time with them. I think they are just as cool as the horses. I don't like cold, but I love winter ( because I have hbd in winter). So I will necessarily come here in the winter and put on a lot of clothes, to keep warm.
DeleteYou are welcome anytime!!!( :
DeleteDear Zenia! I almost like Yakutsk😍 I prefer to spend my winter holidays in places, where I can feel the real winter, where is many snow and very cold! And deer ride! It is perfect for me! I only once see the nortern light but it was unforgettable, so I want to see it one more time.

Ksenia, I really want to go to Yakutsk, I think I can get from my hometown by train. What places in Yakutsk or the region can you recommend to visit? And when will you personally be in Yakutsk to conduct a tour in your free time? I also invite you to come to the great lake Baikal for surprisingly clear ice and fresh omul.
DeleteLove, Alina
the most best time to come to Alatyr is summer. This is our favorite season. In these months, the weather is very pleasant. It is not too hot or too rainy and the water on the river is warm. It is sparsely populated and quiet. In summer, you can walk in the woods, ride a bike, swim in the river. Alatyr has a Temperate climate.So i think the best time is July or August. Then you can have good weather and excellent mood.I usually spend time with my friends in my city.During the day, we walk in the forest, in the field and enjoy nature. In our city there are birds from the red book, as well as tarantulas. ))) In August, the Starfall begins. In the evening, we go for a walk in the Park in the city center. My hometown is a city for the soul and peace of mind.
ReplyDeleteOMG. Never in my life did I kow that there are tarantulas in Russia! As they say, live and learn. I would like to enjoy the beuty of nature and absolutely see the starfall! It must be a great spectale and it has been a while for me since I've witnessed any shooting star.
DeleteMy hometown is Chelyabinsk. I think that the best time to visit my hometown is summer. Because my region has a continental climate. Usually sunny and hot in summer. Rarely cloudy and humid. I consider that generally a pleasant climate to visit. However my favorite season in may hometown is winter. Because I really love snow, cold and frost. Ural winters are just the same. In the Ural always the temperature bellow zero, most days 30-40 degrees. I keen on skiing and snowboarding in winter. So I often climb to the mountains to roll down the mountain slope. There are also may activities in my hometown. For example various sports:basketball, swimming, karate and so on. Also we can go to the gym, do aerobics, play cards and chess. However I like to walk the Arbat and drink coffee. I advise readers to visit the Arbat, go to the museums and climb the Ural mountain.
DeleteI didn't know about Alatyr. I really liked the summer weather you described. How to get to Alatyr? I am ready to come already just for the hunting tarantulas🕷🕸😈(I hope you will keep me company). I call it Tirchik😂(in honor of Alatyr). Thank you for the information about this beautiful place, it was very interesting.
DeleteThe most popular time to come to Ryazan is August to October, but I prefer January. Warm, rainy and pleasent in autumn. Usually in January there are sunny, cold and snow (but there's no snow lately, it is so sad��).
ReplyDeleteIn this time tourists can to visit parks, temples or museums. But it is not the most of interesting. Ryazan is famous for its magnificent nature, not for nothing the great poet Sergei Yesenin often wrote about it. Our town must visit each to see this nature. There are many hotels, hostels and another housing for tourists. I recomend to visit a motherland of Great poet Sergey Esenin - Konstantinovo.
I hope that helps.
Katusha Lentyaeva
I was in Ryazan in the autumn and despite the rains it was beautiful, but I was not in Esenin motherland. Thank you, I'll go there next time.
DeleteThe best time to visit Magnitogorsk is summer. Because in my region has continental climate and in summer the weather is usually warm and pleasant. At this time people often go camping and I am not an exception. Usually in summer I go for a walk with my friends.But it should be noted that my city is not for a tourist.As for me this is a nice place to live if you don’t like the hustle and bustle.
ReplyDeleteSome people come to us because of the ski resorts but this is already talking about our region and not about our city. Anyway guests are welcome in my city.
Hizbullin Alexandr
I've never been to Magnitogorsk. I would very much like to go there on a hike, it seems that the summer will be a good time. I hope that you are safe and there is no crime.
DeleteI never thought about Magnitogorsk, but after such an advertisement I wanted to visit it)
DeleteMy hometown is Angarsk. Tourists do not often stop here because of the criminal situation in the city. However, it is the starting point for many tourists traveling to the shores of the great Baikal. The most popular place on lake Baikal is the village of Listvyanka. The climate of lake Baikal and its coast has features of a marine climate and differs significantly from the climate of the surrounding area. Winters on lake Baikal are milder and summers are cooler than in the rest of Siberia. Therefore, it is better to go on a trip in mid-January or early February. However, at this time there are a lot of tourists, which significantly affects the prices in hotels, cafes and shops. Usually the weather at this time of year is Sunny and warm, very snowy, but the most amazing thing is the crystal clear ice, which takes fancy shapes. Among the amenities there are markets with Souvenirs and Baikal fish, for example, you can buy the famous omul and grayling only in the markets. If you want to come here in the summer, the best time is the end of August and the beginning of September. At this time, the warmest water of the lake, and you can often see the seal on the surface. There are not so many tourists here, and prices are becoming acceptable. In summer, you can also go swimming, water skiing, and Hiking in the surrounding nature reserves. In winter, most people go sledding and take photos.

DeleteWatching the film “Ice”, I really wanted to go to lake Baikal to see all the beauty with my eyes. After your story, I wanted to visit this beautiful place even more. I am like a cat very much like heat, so a mild winter makes me happy. First I hear about fish grayling, because it is very interesting to see what it is.
DeleteWow. I'd like to go there. Take a walk near lake Baikal and see a seal:)
DeleteIt is my big bream to go to Baikal! After you story I want it much more. I am very attracted by the nature of Siberia too. I have never been in this region, but I like travel very much, so I absolutely will do it. Actually I am rather scared about your criminal city, but I hope you will defend me))
DeleteKorsakova Violetta
My lovely girls, be sure to come to us on lake Baikal, we will hide you from the local mafia on the beautiful shore of the Small Sea, which offers a fascinating view of the largest island of the lake - Olkhon. In fact, I haven't visited many places of the lake, so I would be happy to have a company with which I can continue to explore this beautiful and amazing place, which is considered the pearl of Siberia
DeleteBest regards, Alina
Dear Alinochka, If I come, can you arrange an excursion for me?
DeleteThank you for your answer💕
My hometown is Bugulma. It has a temperate climate.In winter it is cold and very snowy, and in summer the sun pleases only one month. Most of all, I love the heatest, hottest month - July. Since this is the hottest month, in the evening I like going walk in the forest, climb a mountain, ride a bike there and arrange small picnics with friends. Also in the end of July, you can go to the loch, which is a 30-minute drive from the city
ReplyDeleteBugulma has changed a lot in the last two years. Thus, I advise you to come here in August, so that you can walk around the city (not to cooked during from the heat afternoon) and see it from all sides.
Zarina,WOW this is cool! I love mountains and nature and will be happy to come to Bugulma. Lake Lox I already liked the name😂. I think it was created for me)) I too love summer and I think August is the perfect time. I hope that when I come to visit your hometown you will feed me local food😋.
DeleteZenia, I am glad that you a interesting for my city and I will glad to see you in my hometown. I necessarily will feed ‘баурсаком’ and delicious, hot mother’s foods.
DeleteI will come in August and we will celebrate my birthday by eating your mom's food😂😋
Deletemaybe.....😂😂😂
DeleteHi.
ReplyDeleteI live in the town of Zheleznovodsk. My town has a subtropical climate.
Climate of Zheleznovodsk: summers are hot and winters are mild. The air is moderately dry, due to the proximity of forests and mountains, it is always saturated with oxygen (in summer, you can faint from the heat: ) )
I love spring, because you can see how beautiful the flowers open: ). Late April, early May is the best time in spring.
I love going to the Playground, playing basketball with friends (and breaking my fingers: ). the best time to visit my city is spring. You can visit the Park in a beautiful way, go to the Museum, climb the mountain (I go to Beshtau on may 9 every year).
This is my town.
Tatyana
DeleteTanya, I've heard a lot about your city and would like to visit it, but I don't really like the heat. What can you say about your winter? What sports do you do in winter with your friends? Or maybe you have an interesting build small towns of ice? I have an amazing ice jungle built in my city every winter.
DeleteI look forward to hearing from you, Alina
