Vladivostok Introduction Walking Tour, Vladivostok

Vladivostok Introduction Walking Tour (Self Guided), Vladivostok

There's something special about Vladivostok – some say it's the way the city is surrounded by sea and mountains; others say that it's the many hills, which are responsible for the city’s nickname, “The San Francisco of Russia.” More than 50 years old, the public funicular should be tried at least once for the beautiful scenery it offers, but one can otherwise do everything on foot, since the downtown area is not that big after all. Follow this self-guided walk to explore some of Validivostok's key sights and take a ride for some great panoramic views as added treat!
