The high season for traveling to Russia is May through October. This is the best time to tour Russia and admire its masterpieces like fountains of Peterhof, parks of Pushkin and quaint countryside of the Golden Ring. However, during summers main tourist routes are crowded and sometimes even impossible to access.
