Vladivostok Insider Tip

The Russky Island Bridge โ€” completed 2012 for the APEC summit and briefly the world's longest cable-stayed bridge โ€” is free to cross by bus or car. The view of Golden Horn Bay from the bridge at golden hour is among the most spectacular urban panoramas in Russia.

Amsterdam Insider Tip

Cycling is the dominant mode of transport โ€” stay out of bike lanes. Almost everyone speaks English.

๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ Vladivostok Fun Fact

Vladivostok means 'Ruler of the East' in Russian.

The Trans-Siberian Railway terminates here, 9,289 km and 8 time zones from Moscow.

Amsterdam has more bicycles than residents and over 1,500 bridges crossing its famous canals.
