If you are fond of travelling by your own vehicles we offer you a fascinating car holiday in Northwest Russia. Visit beautiful cities. Saint Petersburg is also called "The Venice of the North". Visit the country side in Karelia and on the Kola Peninsula. Meet the cultures of the Pomor fishermen on the White Sea coast or the Saami in Russian Lapland.

Discover the difference between Scandinavia and the Russian North. Here you will not find everywhere nice red houses with saunas beside the rivers and lakes. Here the people live in cities and between the cities you will find nature; pure nature how it always was. On the Kola Peninsula every city has something special and we have prepared for you beautiful routes and have made reservations for your overnights.

Feel free travelling in Nortwest Russia. Car holidays in North Europe; Karelia and Kola Peninsula. Enjoy nature. Visit villages, museums, handicrafts and culture.

Don't worry about where to fuel. There are a lot of gasoline stations in NW-Russia with the good quality fuel. An additional benefit of including NW-Russia as your travel destination is that fuel prices are half of European prices!
