📝Travel checklist: Essential items for your Russia trip
First and foremost, your important documents are essential. Bring your passport, visa, ID card, and driver's license (if you plan to rent a car). Russia requires a visa, so prepare in advance.
📱Second, due to the language barrier, bringing an international SIM card or activating international roaming is crucial. You should also install some translation apps in case of any communication difficulties.
🔌Electronic devices are indispensable, so bring a multi-port charger and adapter. The voltage in Russia is 220V, and the plugs are two round pins, so check if your charger is compatible.
🧥Since March in Russia is still cold, packing warm clothes is essential. A down jacket, scarf, hat, and gloves will provide much-needed warmth.
💊Minor issues such as discomfort or allergies can occur during the trip, so it's crucial to have common medications on hand. For example, painkillers, cold medicine, band-aids, etc.
🎒Finally, depending on your itinerary and activities, you may need to bring additional equipment. For example, if you plan to ski, you'll need to bring ski equipment; if you enjoy photography, you might want to bring a good camera.
