Russia
Russia stretches across Eastern Europe and Northern Asia, but the majority of the population is located on the European side.

Many tourists travel to Russia to experience its rich culture and view its unique architecture. Moscow, the capital city, and St Petersburg, home to the Winter Palace of the Romanov Dynasty, are top destinations in Russia.
