Itinerary

  • Day 1 - Arrival in Murmansk. Getting to know the capital of the Arctic

    Our exciting summer adventure begins in Murmansk.

    Hospitable hosts feed their guests first, and we are no exception. We'll start with a delicious lunch of Arctic cuisine, and only then we'll go explore the city.

    The hero city of Murmansk is the heart of the Russian Arctic. The city has many epithets with the word "the most" — let's tell you what makes it so special.

    You will learn what the city has been through over the past hundred years, and see how the port life has shaped the special culture of Murmansk. Murmansk is located partly on the mainland, partly on the Kola Peninsula. You will visit both places.

    Among our locations is the monument to the Defenders of the Soviet Arctic "Alyosha" on the Green Cape hill. By the way, the city is in full view from here, you will definitely find a couple of atmospheric camera angles for your photos.

    Within 5-6 hours, visit the most interesting locations with picturesque panoramas of the city and natural landscapes.

    In the final part of the walk, we will head to the opposite shore of the Kola Peninsula, along the way you will learn a lot of interesting things and admire the city from the observation deck.

    After an eventful walk, we will go to a welcome dinner at a local restaurant.

    After dinner, we go to rest and gain strength before the next eventful day!

    I’m absolutely delighted with “Big Country” and its team. True professionals work there. Thanks to your help, I’ve already visited Altai, Lake Baikal, North Ossetia, and the Russian North! Thank you for your amazing work. Working with people is never easy, but you always manage to find common ground with your clients and help resolve any issue that comes up. Keep up the great work!!!

    It was a very interesting and eventful tour with plenty of great food experiences along the way. Unfortunately, the weather didn’t cooperate, so we weren’t able to see the Northern Lights or fully experience Teriberka, but the trip to Kirovsk turned out to be absolutely wonderful and full of memorable impressions. Our guide Olga was energetic, enthusiastic, and truly passionate about showing and telling us as much as possible! Overall, we definitely did not regret taking this trip.
