Russia’s scale makes local time and holiday planning useful starting points. Check the calendar for the places you will visit before building a tightly connected schedule.

Why go

A plan centred on Moscow still benefits from national context: Russia spans many time zones, and its holiday traditions include historical, religious and regional observances. Keeping the local calendar separate from assumptions about the whole country helps you ask the right questions about a particular journey or visit.

Useful to know

  • Check the time zone shown on each booking; do not assume that every Russian timetable uses Moscow time.
  • Check the current holiday calendar and each venue’s dated opening information before fixing a day’s plans.
