The Orthodox Church is the state religion of Russia and is inextricably linked to the traditional culture of Russia as well. As soon as you set foot on the land of Russia, you will find the Orthodox Churches everywhere. The unique onion shaped tombs at the top of the church point to the sky, as if passing the dialogue between God and the human. These Orthodox churches belong to the cross structure and the dome. Byzantine architecture, in the winters and snowy weather of the northern hemisphere with high latitudes, in order to avoid the snow from accumulating on the roof for a long time, Russian architects have created a form of church architecture. They retain the cross-shaped building structure, and the Byzantine. The large dome of the style was transformed into an onion shaped structure is full of fairy tales. There are many Orthodox churches in Vladivostok. These churches are not very large, but the tombs on the top are covered with a shiny gold or blue color. It shines in the sunshine, and for those who have no religious beliefs like me, these structures  are just a beautiful scenery.

Vladivostok
Vladivostok is a city in the Russian Far East. It gets really cold in winter so I recommend to plan your trip to Vladivostok from May till September. ✈️ Getting There - Vladivostok is located near Japan, China and Korea so pretty much the only way to get there is by plane. Vladivostok has an airport express train that will take you straight to Vladivostok’s city center, another perk is that the train passes by great sceneries. 🎠 Attractions - My favorite place to visit in Vladivostok is the aquarium on the Russian island, it has a lot of interesting fish and animals in there and the area outside the aquarium is just wonderful, it is right by the seaside. Another great place to visit is the Tokarevski Lighthouse. When the tide is low, the shallow path appears which you can use to walk to the lighthouse. You can walk along the seaside and the riverside, rent a longboard or a bicycle 🚲 at Naberezhnaya Tsesarevicha. You can visit Vladivostok’s surf camp and learn surfing or just rent a standup paddle. You can visit Russian theater and absorb local culture. 🥞 Food & Restaurants - Russian food is amazing, there are a lot of great restaurants with good service. Don’t forget it is in the culture to tip the waiter 15-20% in Russia. Start with having Russian pancakes for breakfast, they are called Blini, they are often served with condensed milk or they are stuffed with cottage cheese, potatoes, meat, cabbage. The next dish to try is Sirniki, it’s some sort of pancakes made of cottage cheese often served with sour cream. There are a lot of dinner dishes in Russia, it would take me dozens of pages to name them all, just prepare your stomach to eat a lot in Russia because it’s just so good 😍😍😍 Enjoy your trip to Russia and don’t freeze if you decide to go in Winter ❄️ #russia #vladivostok #travel #vacation #citytour #travelling #holidays #food #city #citycenter #island #passionpassport
