The Balalaika and Vodka Tour

Go to Russia VISA FREE and experience St Petersburg, one of the must see cities of Europe! On this tour you also get the opportunity to explore Stockholm and Helsinki; two capital cities with different character but all well worth a visit. With optional extras ranging from visits to the Russian Vodka museum (including shots) to visiting world famous palaces, you know you’re in for a good time. We travel with big overnight ferries between the cities so while travelling you can have a drink in the bar, go to the sauna or show your moves on the dance floor! The next morning you wake up in a new city ready to explore the next destination!

You can start or end your trip in Helsinki instead of Stockholm. You can save up to 40 EUR. Contact Scanbalt for more information!
