I’m so glad to see you’re interested in Russia. But I don’t think that Moscow and Saint Petersburg are the real Russia. I’d like to invite you to visit Saratov and experience life here.
Chances are that this destination isn’t on your list. You’ve heard about Russia from the media (it’s all positive, right!), so why not come and find out for yourself?
It’s my mission to make sure you have a good time and a memorable experience in Saratov.
Saratov is a safe, authentic city that’s easily reachable from Moscow. It’s a typical example of Russian life and culture, unlike the two largest cities in Russia that you’ve heard about.
Although modern western culture has penetrated the region, bringing global restaurant chains and big brand names to its streets, the local identity hasn’t been completely obscured.
