Russia

Airline tickets to Russia reveal the world's largest country: from the frozen Siberian Tundra to the fertile Volga Valley. Flights to Russia touch down in Moscow, where all roads lead to Red Square; seek out Lenin's Mausoleum, the fortified Kremlin and St Basil's Cathedral's wildly coloured onion domes. Take a flight to Russia to travel around the towns and monasteries on the Golden Ring, where culture is served neat - like the vodka. Head north to Tsar's showcase St Petersburg to shop for Fabergé eggs and dip into the world-class Hermitage Museum for Picassos and Raphaels. Russia flights take travellers skiing and swimming in the Black Sea resort of Sochi. Ride the Trans-Siberian to Irkutsk to spot freshwater seals at Lake Baikal.

Take a flight to Russia to savour blini (buckwheat pancakes) with caviar at stalls in Moscow and St Petersburg. Pelmeni (meat dumplings) are eaten in Siberia and omul (whitefish) on Lake Baikal's shores. Vodka-laced cocktails dominate Moscow's fashionable clubs and Russian ballet St Petersburg's Mariinsky Theatre. KLM and partners have frequent flights to Russia. Book airline tickets to catch top events; from June's star-studded Moscow Film Festival to New Year's Eve fireworks on Red Square.
