Gostika Hotel. “The breakfast is correct buffet type but without too many things to choose from. For example there was no fruit. The location is quite good.

A visa is a permit or authorization for entry, stay or transit in the Russian Federation that citizens of other nationalities must obtain. However, not all countries are required to have a visa to visit Russia. Some, such as those that belonged to the former Soviet Union, are exempt. If your country appears on this list of the Russian Visa Central, you should not apply for a visa.
