Travel to Russia via Hotel Berlin

The journey from Berlin to Russia can either be long and treacherous or short and sweet, depending on the method of travel used, and the time and resources available to the traveller.  Russia is a massive nation which extends over much of northern Eurasia, and takes up over one eighth of the land mass of the planet.  Because Russia is so large and expansive, there are many possible travel destinations within it, however, some parts of the country are very isolated and not visited often.  When planning any trips to Berlin or Russia it is important to make reservations early, as hotels can get booked quickly at certain times of year.

Russia shares a number of land borders with other countries, including Norway, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Belarus, Ukraine, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, China, Mongolia and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.  The huge size of the nation - 17,075,400 square kilometres - makes Russia is the largest country in the world, and means that travel there can come from a number of different directions.  Anyone coming to Russia from Berlin in Germany has a number of land routes available to them, and also a number of opportunities to fly directly from Berlin to Moscow or St.Petersburg on a regular basis. For anyone staying at a hotel in Berlin and travelling to Russia over land, it is a good idea to organise an itenerary and make any bookings before you go.  It usually takes between 35 and 40 hours of travel time to get from a Western European destination such as Berlin to Moscow or St.Petersburg via road.  There are a number of bus companies making this journey, and hiring a car is always an option.  Tourists are often advised to avoid the nations of Belorussia and Ukraine, because transit visas are required to travel through these countries.    

Travel via the air will be a lot faster and easier than any land route will ever be, although you will miss out on many sights and a lot of fantastic landscapes on the way.  There are three major airport centres in Berlin, including Berlin-Tegel Airport - the current main airport of Berlin, Berlin-Schönefeld Airport - founded in 1934, and the Berlin-Brandenburg International Airport.  Flights leave for Moscow and St.Petersburg on a regular basis from these airports, although it is always important to check flight availability before you make any concrete plans. It is also important to make bookings within Berlin for hotels and transportation, especially at some busy times of the year.  When wanting to book into a specialised hotel, like a wellness Berlin hotel - it is even more important to think ahead and make any appropriate reservations early.  Berlin is a great transportation hub and a fantastic city destination in its own right.  By using Berlin as the centre for a European and Russian holiday, it is easy to get practically anywhere within Europe and western Asia - whether you choose to go by plane, train, or road.
