If you decided to rent a car, in Russia the automobiles are
driven on the right side of the road and move forward on the
left side of the same.
You should be very careful with the speed because the police
can stop you, to get fines. Be careful not pass traffic lights
with yellow light and also much attention because Russia
practice zero tolerance for people who drives under the
influence of alcohol.

Places for parking a car in hotel and public areas are
usually expensive; it costs around 35 Euros per day.
If you need to go to a supermarket, please note that there
are expired products. Take this warning, because it is frequent
that they want to confuse the consumers with expiration date,
saying that is the date of production of the product.
Russians are generally kind and helpful except on rare
circumstances. If you wish to travel by metro (one of the most
extensive in the world and great style), tickets are purchased
upon entering to the station. To take a bus, a woman approaches
you to sale the ticket for the bus before boarding.
The electric plugs are usually round pin, and the electric
voltage is currently 220 volts.
Monuments and tourist areas
have different prices for the Russian people and for tourists.
If you want to go for shopping, for example in the city of Saint
Petersburg, next to the Cathedral of the Holy Blood spilled
there is a tourist market, with quite a few posts where to buy
the famous Matriuskas (which are not Russian, they are Eastern
origin), Russian icons, well know them polychromatic eggs, and
other souvenirs.
If you are shopping in Moscow near the St. Isaac's Cathedral
there are souvenirs stands. You can also find the Hostiar stores
that are close to the Church of our Lady of Kazan. In the Peter
and Paul Fortress, there are several shops selling typical
objects and skins, Fox scarves, necks, typical Russia caps and
others, but at reasonable prices. In the Centre, you will find
stores with Western products and cafeterias.
In Moscow is an ideal place for shopping; the old park in
Smailova, today converted into a closed place where tourists pay
to access and the local Russian people no. Everything can be
found for the tourist as well as cafes and folk music. In its
surroundings is the famous market of Asians, many jobs with sale
of clothing, shoes, toys, among others.As in other parts of the
world, you can also find products from china at incredible
prices.
