Russia still has far to go to become a developed tourist country, but deserves to become so because of its natural beauty and diversity and its historical and cultural traditions. To assist you in making your travel to Russia convenient and memorable, Reisebuero WELT is pleased to provide you with some practical information to familiarise you with this country, its language, travel matters and what the company can offer you. Russian is a Slavic language related to Polish, Czech, Slovak, Bulgarian and some others. The Cyrillic alphabet has much in common with the Greek alphabet. Foreigners who try to speak Russian will delight their Russian listeners, many of whom speak a little helpful English.
Russian people are friendly and hospitable, and happy to help if assistance is needed.
When you arrive in Russia, you will first proceed to Passport Control. There, your passport and VISA will be examined, and after stamping your visa, the officer will return your passport and visa to you. After retrieving your luggage from the baggage carousel, you will pass through customs. There are two lanes. If you have nothing to declare, you may proceed through the Green Channel.
