Is russia a safe country to visit as an australian?

Question

I plan to travel there next year by myself. I am 20 years old, and have never left Australia yet. I am very nervous but excited at the same time. No one else is keen to go with me unfortuantly. It has been a dream of mine for a long time.

Answer 1

The Communist Capital of the world. (even if they try to deny it)

Should be safe, just don't talk to any skinheads wearing tuxedos.

Heard the cities were beautiful though.

Answer 2

its definately safer than redfern!

Answer 3

russia is a pretty safe counntry i dont understnad why it wouldnt be:s

it is also very beautiful.  :) i hope you have a great time (and safe)

Answer 4

I'm living in Moscow. big pretty city, safe if you won't walk at night on small streets - elementary safety measures - as in any other country.

by the way, we have no anything  communistic here... i can tell, New York is not worse than Moscow  :)

Answer 5

The aussies are like the friendliest people... But i don't know ???

Answer 6

I think it is fairly safe. Russia does have over 70,000 skin heads. I am traveling to Russia next year as well, but I'm afraid I might have a harder time of it, being American. I'm currently in love with most things Russian.

Anyway. To stay safe in Russia, it's said to just use your common sense. Stay out of the Caucus mountains, it's quite unstable up there. But don't go down dark alleys, don't start fights, don't get into trucks that say "Free Candy." Authorities there may expect bribes. They may come up and check your papers in the street, and claim something is wrong. You can go ahead and give in, or if you are confident in Russian, firmly explain that  you know everything is EXACTLY in order with your papers. Be patient.

I think you will be quite safe and will have a lot of fun. Check out wiki travel, if you want to know more.

Good luck,
