For some reason, some believe that October is far from the most favorable time for a vacation. Despite the fact that the summer is already behind us, there are more than enough opportunities to have a great rest and gain strength. In addition, pleasant places to relax in the velvet season on the territory of Russia are found everywhere, at different latitudes.
To get a lot of positive emotions and a charge of vivacity for the coming working year, it is not at all necessary to leave the country and take a vacation in the summer.
Southern regions
While in central Russia in October the rainy season begins and a cold snap sets in, the sun continues to shine tenderly in the south of the country. So in October it is not too late to visit the Black Sea coast. Such resorts as Adler, Anapa, Sochi, Gelendzhik and many others receive guests until the end of October.
Do not forget about the Crimea. In Saki, the season of treatment with hot mud and brine continues. And in Yalta or Evpatoria, even if you cannot swim in the sea, breathe in the sea air and experience the sun and air baths, it is also very useful.
Center of Russia
Many of those who go on vacation in October prefer a wellness holiday and make a choice in favor of one of the many domestic boarding houses or sanatoriums.
The sanatoriums and dispensaries of the Moscow region are especially in high demand. In October, the weather in the Moscow region is usually wonderful, and therefore you probably cannot find a better option for a family vacation. In addition to passing certain health procedures, everyone can go on excursions that interest them, rent sports equipment and take part in all sorts of entertainment. In sanatoriums and boarding houses in October you can not only relax and enjoy the beauty of the golden autumn, but also save a lot.
Northern latitudes
Karelia is also an excellent place to relax in the autumn. Despite the fact that this region is located on the territory of Russia, it can be called the most real exotic without any stretch. This is just the perfect place for hunting, fishing and hiking. However, the most widespread type of recreation in Karelia is rafting (rafting on a mountain river). Despite the danger, this type of active recreation attracts a huge number of tourists from all over the country.
If active rest is not suitable, you can simply buy a sightseeing tour to St. Petersburg. In this amazing city, every street and every building deserves special attention. Kazan Cathedral, Savior on Spilled Blood, Nevsky Prospect, Hermitage, St. Isaac's Cathedral - all these sights look especially monumental and majestic in the gloomy Russian autumn.
In general, wherever you go on vacation in Russia in October, you are unlikely to be disappointed. Russia is an amazing country, beautiful no matter what time of year it is outside the window.
