Vladivostok Travel Safety Guide — Russia

Safety Score: 6.5/10 · Value: 7.5/10 · Beauty: 7.8/10

Vladivostok is one of the world's most dramatically sited cities, a San Francisco-esque port built on steep hills overlooking the Pacific, 9,288 km from Moscow at the end of the Trans-Siberian Railway. The city has a frontier energy: Pacific seafood (king crab, sea urchin, scallops) is remarkably fresh and affordable, the architecture mixes pre-revolutionary grandeur with Soviet brutalism, and the Russky Island suspension bridge (one of the world's longest cable-stayed spans) connects the mainland to a remarkably undeveloped island. Being in the same time zone as Tokyo, it's a popular short break for South Korean and Japanese visitors.
