4 Russia is BIG Adventure Travel Guides

1. Russia - Kaliningrad Region (PDF) Lonely Planet

For all of its chaotic history and cultural foibles – or perhaps because of them – ‘Little Russia’ is a fascinating place to visit. The city of Kaliningrad teems with interesting sights and surprisingly sophisticated accommodation and dining options; seaside towns, pine forests and tranquil villages make for a serene sojourn.

2. Russia - Volga Region (PDF) Lonely Planet

The Volga, one of Europe’s great rivers, winds for some 3530km through Russia’s heartland and has been a part of the continent’s longest ‘highway’ since time immemorial. The stretch of the Volga between Nizhny Novgorod and the Caspian Sea forms a rich and fascinating cultural region.

3. Russia - Russian Caucasus (PDF) Lonely Planet

For most Russians, the word Caucasus summons up images of fiery mountain folk, the high-tempo lezginka dance and the troubled history of volatile regions such as Chechnya. But there’s more to this ethnically rich region than the stereotypes and the horror stories.

4. Russia - The Urals (PDF) Lonely Planet

Marking the border between Europe and Asia, the Ural Mountains stretch from the Kara Sea in the north to Kazakhstan in the south. When Russia stumbled onto this Aladdin’s cave full of lustrous treasures many centuries ago, the mineral riches allowed Russia to expand into Siberia beyond.

You can pick and choose from complete guides and individual chapters, and download them to any device you like.
