About Arkhangelsk
Located in northwestern Russia, the largest country in the world in terms of area, Arkhangelsk is one of the country’s most important trading ports. Due to its location the climate is cold year-round and barely gets warm during the summer. The city’s residents usually work in trade and education. Among the structures to see in the city, which you should visit during the summer for a more comfortable trip, are the Malye Korely Open-Air Museum, Lomonosov Drama Theater, Kenozersky National Park, and the St. Nicholas Church.
The city has large parks and lush gardens, which are great to explore especially if you visit during the spring or summer, and calm streets perfect for a day of shopping. By participating in photography trips or daily city tours of this vibrant city, surrounded by typical Russian structures, you can take a closer look at the city’s history and local peoples’ lives. Although there are no direct flights from New York or London, you can reach the city through a connection in Moscow or St. Petersburg.
