Playing with the Sea: Vladivostok’s Top Five Places off the Beaten Track

The ‘Turn to the east’ announced earlier by the head of state, Vladimir Putin, is bearing fruit for the far east not only in socioeconomic terms, but also in tourism. Where as many travellers used to be put off by the long journey and jetlag, now they come here no matter what. At the height of the season, it’s almost impossible to find plane tickets without layovers. So what makes people come to the capital of the far east besides cable-stayed bridges, wild rocky beaches, crimson sunsets on the seashore, and affordable seafood? Let’s take a look.

Open To Anyone But Not For Everyone: Where To Discover The Real Vladivostok

What do Russians think of when they hear the word «Vladivostok»? Most likely, images of the city’s most famous land marks will come to mind, such as the bridges spanning the golden horn bay, the lighthouse on Tokarevskaya koshka cape, the sea terminal, and the legendary submarines — 56 monument, which has adorned Korabelnaya naberezhnaya for many decades. All these sights are really an important part of the Far Eastern capital. That is a must — see for every visitor. However, the soul of Russia’s capital city in the East, with its humid and salt — enriched air, is hidden elsewhere. And you can find it only peeking into an alleyway on the central street, taking a stroll along the city’s «unofficial» embankment, or exploring the edge of Russky island by car.
