Russia is the largest country on Earth, spanning eleven time zones from the Baltic to the Pacific. Moscow is known for the Kremlin and its metro, St Petersburg for the Hermitage and the drawbridges. Beyond them lie the Golden Ring, the clear water of Lake Baikal, the volcanoes of Kamchatka and the mountains of the Caucasus and Altai. Climates vary enormously by region.
