Russian is official. There are more than 100 recognized regional languages (Tatar, Bashkir, Chechen, among others). English is rarely spoken outside the big cities.

Drive on the right. There are modern highways, many with tolls (paid in booths or electronic systems). The quality of the roads varies greatly between large cities and rural areas.

Wild camping is generally permitted in natural and remote areas, although caution is advised. There are also organized campsites.

Special Zones

Moscow and St. Petersburg have central pedestrian zones, paid parking and traffic restrictions in historic areas.
