Vladivostok Guide

What is there to do in Vladivostok?

Gradually becoming one of Russia’s most prominent and pivotal commercial ports, Vladivostok is a massive city in terms of importance to its country’s economy. As the city grew in both population and relevance, the aesthetics improved drastically; Golden Horn Bay symbolises the architectural advancing, decorated by Golden Bridge, which stands proud against the striking landscape. The Bridge to Russky Island is another example of an incredible structure that has improved the environment, as well as proving to be a crucial transport link. Alongside the suspension bridges, several landmarks are scattered around the city; the Monument to Vladimir Vysotsky and Memorial to the Fighters in the Soviet Union are impressive statues lining the city centre. For a more serene experience, head to the lighthouse sitting near the harbour, and whilst in the vicinity, enjoy some classic Russian food at one of the fine restaurants.

How do you get around Vladivostok?

In terms of public transport, streetcars and a railway system are an efficient and affordable way to travel around the city. Alternatively, many choose to hire a car at one of the rental companies, or hop in a taxi for quick and convenient transport.
