Weekend has been shifted to Thursday and Friday.
Woohoo! Long Weekends Galore in Russia 2025
Gear up, Russians! 2025 is knocking on our doors, and it's bringing an ocean of leisure with it! To start off, May's got a short workweek (5th to 7th) and a four-day victory celebration bash to mark the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War. That's already 18 working days in May, leaving plenty of time for kick-back and relaxation! The party doesn't end there, though. June will gift us another long weekend to appreciate Russia Day, from the 12th to the 15th.
Now, we all know what that means – the dacha season, adventures, family time, personal growth, or simply lazing around at home. The choices are endless! For the adrenaline junkies, explore nature, historical sites, or pick up a new sport. If peace and tranquility is more up your alley, use the May holidays to lose yourself in a good book, catch up on movies, or focus on your personal growth.
June's long weekend, perfectly timed for Russia Day, is perfect for a short trip, a gathering with mates, or a serene escape in nature. The key is to plan ahead, budget-wise and schedule-wise, to make the most of your time off. Safety measures are a must, particularly when planning a trip.
Here's a tasty morsel of information: aside from these, there are more surprises in the form of long weekends, including New Year’s holidays (January 1-8), Defender of the Fatherland Day (February 23), International Women’s Day (March 8), Spring and Labor Day (May 1-4), and Unity Day (November 4). Start scribbling down your travel and adventure plans!
Want more deets? Check out the historic cities like Moscow or St. Petersburg, hit the slopes at Sochi or Altai, explore festive markets, or immerse yourself in cultural events. Plan regional city trips to attend local festivities, and remember to book accommodations early during the May holidays due to high demand. Happy adventuring!
