Cheap Flights To Russia From Australia - From $1568 Return

Ranging from the forests of Eastern Europe to the icy swells of the Bering Strait, the Arctic Circle to the crumpled summits of the Caucasus Mountains, Russia is the largest country on the planet. A trip here can be about wondering at priceless artworks in the Hermitage Museum or treading in the footsteps of Dostoyevsky through the lived-in alleys of Petersburg. But it can also be about endless train journeys through the wastelands of Siberia, spying gold-topped Orthodox cathedrals on the edge of the wiggling Volga River, and meeting nomadic tribes on the Kazakh steppe. Cheap flights to Russia from Australia will usually go into either Moscow or St Petersburg, but there are some good deals to other hubs further east to boot.

Red Square

Revolutions have played out on the vast plaza that's known as Red Square, and sights like the Kremlin and onion-domed Saint Basil's Cathedral loom high here.

The Trans-Siberian

A bucket-list odyssey that crosses the whole breadth of Russia, the Trans-Siberian Railway conquers the great ice lakes of Siberia and the rolling Mongol backcountry.
