2025 Vladivostok Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in March)

|Real men use real guns! ✨ In Russia, it's not illegal to carry a gun with a license, so why not give it a try? 👍 There are many types of guns available here, whether you want to experience real combat or try blank bullets, you can be satisfied. You can shoot single shots accurately, or enjoy the thrill of continuous shooting 😎 However, it is recommended that you wear earmuffs when shooting, as the sound is no joke. While waiting, do not stand to the right of the shooter to avoid being hit by the shell. The recoil is also quite strong, so be prepared. 📍 Location: Search on Yandex Maps (Near Blue Beach) 🕒 Opening hours: 10:00–18:00 💰 Price: 8,000 rubles/20 bullets.

#citystroll A city stroll through the center of Vladivostok offers a wonderful mix of rich history, unique architecture, and breathtaking seaside views. Start your walk at Svetlanskaya Street, the city's main avenue, where you'll encounter an array of 19th-century buildings, cafes, and shops. Head towards Central Square (Ploshchad Bortsov za Vlast Sovetov), which is the heart of the city, and a great place to take in some of Vladivostok's vibrant urban life. For a mix of history and intrigue, visit the Millionka District, once a bustling area filled with Chinese immigrants in the early 20th century, known for its winding alleys and hidden courtyards. Today, Millionka has transformed into a trendy spot with cafes and small shops while still holding onto its historical charm. End your walk at Arbat Vladivostok, a pedestrian street full of local shops, street performers, and a lively atmosphere, perfect for some shopping or grabbing a coffee to wrap up your exploration. ‼️Don’t miss to visit the Vladivostok Railway Station, a symbol of the Trans-Siberian Railway's eastern terminus. The station’s architecture is beautiful, with ornate details and a sense of history that marks the end of the world's longest railway line.. #100waysoftravel #fareastrussia #vladivostok #travelrussia

#churches Spaso-Preobrazhensky Cathedral is an Orthodox church under construction in Vladivostok and is set to become the future cathedral of the Vladivostok Diocese of the Russian Orthodox Church. Once completed, the cathedral will be the largest in Primorye, with a capacity to hold around 2,000 worshippers. The temple is currently under construction, with the site having been consecrated in 2000 by Patriarch Alexy II at the location where a wooden chapel once stood. There is no exact completion date, as the work progresses based on the availability of funds. #vladivostok #fareastrussia #russia

After visiting Vladivostok, my friends strongly recommended leaving two days to check out this route🗺, it was really fulfilling! And it’s absolutely effortless and effortless🍻, very suitable for lazy people🥳. [Steam Locomotive]➡[Dry Port Railway Station]➡[Commanding Point]➡[Glass Beach]➡[Tobyzina Cape]➡[Tokanev Lighthouse] — 📍【Lukang Railway Station🪷】 The only dry port railway station in the world, it is the terminus of the Trans-Siberian Railway and the starting point of the Far East Railway, crossing 87 cities and 16 rivers. 📍【Commanding High Point🚠】 From the commanding heights, you can not only see the entire city of Vladivostok, but also overlook the seaport. Standing on the Eagle's Nest Mountain and looking down, you can not only see the panoramic view of the Golden Horn Bay, but also the landmark building of Vladivostok - the Golden Horn Cable-stayed Bridge, which spans the Golden Horn Bay. It is very spectacular. 📍【Glass Beach🌉】 On the beach, glass stones of various colors are colorful under the sunlight on the beach. 📍【Tobyzina Cape 🏖】 This is the end of Vladivostok, located on Russky Island, a great place for outdoor hiking. Here, you will always encounter fascinating scenery. 📍【Tokanev Lighthouse 🪨】 The lighthouse was built in 1910. It is made of stone. The lower part of the tower is octagonal and the upper part is cylindrical. The lighthouse is painted white and the lantern dome is painted red. Tokanev Lighthouse is a very famous lighthouse. Note: ❶When traveling, clothes should be light and multi-purpose. ❷Enable international roaming before departure to ensure that your mobile phone can be used abroad. ❸Public toilets charge a fee, usually 20-30 rubles. ❹The customs clearance speed is relatively slow. ❺The local use of cylindrical two-prong plug

🏰1. Lenin statue, train station, Victory Square, cathedral, and submarine museum are all together, you can see them all in one go. The real appearance of the Glass Beach is quite different from the filtered images online. 🔤2. The prevalence of English is very low, so be prepared with translation software or body language. 🕰️3. Overall, the pace of life in Vladivostok feels slow. There is a 2-hour time difference with China, but it is not very noticeable. Local shops and banks open at 8 AM, but there are usually very few people in the morning. Restaurants open around noon and can stay open until 1-2 AM, which is very normal. 🦀4. The king crabs in Vladivostok are very fat and fresh, costing 1250 rubles per jin, which is about 99 RMB, less than 100 RMB. It's cheap, so I recommend eating a lot. 🔫5. There are gun shops to visit locally. We went for live ammunition shooting, which was very exciting. There are also forests where you can hunt. 🥖6. Local desserts are very sweet. Their diet mainly consists of bread, milk, potatoes, vegetables, and pork. The food at white people's restaurants is not tasty, so be mentally prepared. 🚗7. We drove into the country, and the road conditions were very poor. There is no signal when passing through uninhabited areas. The city roads are not bumpy, but parking is difficult. 🚘8. Drivers here drive very fast but also follow traffic rules strictly. Cars will usually stop for pedestrians to cross the road. 💰9. The living standard of residents is not high. The average local salary is about 5000 RMB. They are not competitive and do not like to work overtime, regardless of the pay. 🍺10. The fighting nation loves to drink. During the day, you can see people carrying bottles and drinking on the street. 🛍️11. Svetlanskaya Street is the first street in Vladivostok and a must-visit for tourists and architecture enthusiasts. There are many shops, and the buildings on both sides of the street have a historical feel, with vintage buildings retaining traces of history. 🚂12. The easternmost station of the Trans-Siberian Railway. It feels like the railway was extended eastward mainly for this place. The railway and trains are very prominent in this port city. The platform has an old-fashioned style from the last century, semi-open. Some platforms are like museums with antique trains on display. Also, the train platforms in Vladivostok can be freely accessed without a ticket. 🚢13. There are huge ships docked on the sea.

The closest Europe to our country. When traveling to Vladivostok, Primorsky Krai in the Far East, 👇 Reference 1️⃣ The city of Vladivostok is small, so there are quite a few places to visit, but here are 3 places you must visit 2️⃣Arbat Street There are many restaurants, shopping malls, etc. gathered here. There are many things to see, and the streets are very clean and pretty. Every corner is a photo spot🌟 3️⃣Revolution Square (Central Square) and nearby It is located in the middle of Vladivostok and is close to the train station, so it is easily accessible. There is a monument to soldiers who fought for the former Soviet Union in the Russian Far East from 1917 to 1922, and it is said that it is a place where national holiday events are held, but it seems that there are many people who come out for a walk on a regular basis. 4️⃣Train station It is said to be a train station built in the 17th century Russian style. It is also the starting point of the Trans-Siberian Railway. Why go see the train station? I had a question, but after I went there, I realized why. Aha!💡 #TouristReview #EuropeanTravel #EuropeTravel #RussiaTravel

#Overseas travel I always really wanted to travel to Europe But I couldn't ignore the time and cost issues So I left for Vladivostok, a nearby Eastern Europe! I didn't know it would be this long, but it only took about two and a half hours? It had a strong European feel ㅠㅠ It was so nice. The weather wasn't too cold And it's smaller than I thought, so 4-5 days is enough to see the famous spots! I think 2-3 days would be enough ^^

We had an excellent day excursion from our cruise in Vladivostok. Our guide Pauline did a great job. She was open and flexible. Her love of her city warts and all was obvious. She put as much as possible in our time while getting us back with time to spare. From a walk to a lighthouse, to the terminus of the Trans-Siberian Railway, to a long walk through the downtown, to an interesting lunch, to drives over both bridges, to scenic lookouts and a final submarine visit, we had a great day. If you go there. Lots of public transportation there to go. Such as trams, taxis, buses. I recommend taking the occasional bus there. Because it is affordable and impressive. You can enjoy a lot of Russian specialties there. And some typical souvenirs from there for you to buy. Like chocolate, wow, there are so many variations of chocolate there. I hope I can visit there. Vladivostok is a major Pacific port city in Russia overlooking Golden Horn Bay, near the borders with China and North Korea. It's known as a terminus of the Trans-Siberian Railway, which links the city to Moscow in a 7-day journey. In the city center is Central Square, where a towering memorial pays tribute to local soldiers who fought Japanese forces in the early 20th century. #passionpassport #vladivostok #gooutside #awesomepic #urbanexplorer #bucketlistreboot #staycation #urbanexplorer

Vladivostok is a city in the Russian Far East. It gets really cold in winter so I recommend to plan your trip to Vladivostok from May till September. ✈️ Getting There - Vladivostok is located near Japan, China and Korea so pretty much the only way to get there is by plane. Vladivostok has an airport express train that will take you straight to Vladivostok’s city center, another perk is that the train passes by great sceneries. 🎠 Attractions - My favorite place to visit in Vladivostok is the aquarium on the Russian island, it has a lot of interesting fish and animals in there and the area outside the aquarium is just wonderful, it is right by the seaside. Another great place to visit is the Tokarevski Lighthouse. When the tide is low, the shallow path appears which you can use to walk to the lighthouse. You can walk along the seaside and the riverside, rent a longboard or a bicycle 🚲 at Naberezhnaya Tsesarevicha. You can visit Vladivostok’s surf camp and learn surfing or just rent a standup paddle. You can visit Russian theater and absorb local culture. 🥞 Food & Restaurants - Russian food is amazing, there are a lot of great restaurants with good service. Don’t forget it is in the culture to tip the waiter 15-20% in Russia. Start with having Russian pancakes for breakfast, they are called Blini, they are often served with condensed milk or they are stuffed with cottage cheese, potatoes, meat, cabbage. The next dish to try is Sirniki, it’s some sort of pancakes made of cottage cheese often served with sour cream. There are a lot of dinner dishes in Russia, it would take me dozens of pages to name them all, just prepare your stomach to eat a lot in Russia because it’s just so good 😍😍😍 Enjoy your trip to Russia and don’t freeze if you decide to go in Winter ❄️ #russia #vladivostok #travel #vacation #citytour #travelling #holidays #food #city #citycenter #island #passionpassport

Vladimir K. Arseniev Museum of Far East History was founded in 1884 and opened to visitors in 1890 as a museum of the Society for the Study of the Amur Territory. Today, the museum stores documentary and material evidence from different eras: these are archaeological artifacts, collections of the natural and cultural heritage of our region, and ethnographic collections that reveal the secrets of the life of small peoples of the Far East, and exhibits dedicated to military, social, political events, as well as paintings, sculptures and more. The museum building is located in the very center of the city and is a monument of urban architecture of the early 20th century. #vladivostok #russia #russianFederation #museum

S-56 (Russian С-56) - Soviet submarine from World War II and the post-war period, belonging to the S series IX-bis. For his war services, he was awarded the Order of the Red Banner and was awarded the title of a guard ship.

In the evening, the street from the fountain to the seaside is bustling with locals and tourists. The sunset shining on the buildings and stairs is very beautiful and fantastic. There is also a small amusement park for children on the seaside. It is a compact city, so you can explore on foot and enjoy it until night without worrying about time. #Vladivostok #sunset #seaside scenery #sea #sunset #breathtaking view

You can get here by taking bus number 59 or 60 from Vladivostok Station and getting off at the last stop. It's another 30 minutes' walk from the bus stop, but if you keep going down a deserted road, you'll see this view. As the waves crash on the shore, I headed for the lighthouse. The splashes of the waves on both sides were quite stimulating. After staring at the lighthouse, I tried to go home, but I was worried because the tide was already high on the way back. This Angel Road only appears at low tide. It takes some effort to check the time in advance, but it's worth it when you see it. #AngelRoad #Vladivostok #SeasideScenery #Sea #BreathtakingView

I ordered the Georgian dish Khachapuri, and the waiter asked me if I knew how to eat it! Pippi knows how, so she mixed the cheese and egg inside with her chopsticks and tore it with the bread, eating it slightly greasy but delicious! #RestaurantExploration

Go to Vladivostok to see the sea and walk to the end of the lighthouse. Vladivostok in the Far East is the natural non-freezing port at the southernmost tip of the Amur Peninsula in Russia. It is also the European style that we can most easily experience. It has another name, Vladivostok, which means a small fishing village by the sea in Manchu. The sea cucumbers that are surrounded by the sea on three sides, the most indispensable is the sea view, which is suitable for me to watch the heavy sea lovers. In addition to the beach, there are several special attractions. 1 [Tokanev Lighthouse] is one of the locations for the Golden Horse Awards film "July and Ansheng". The world's most lonely lighthouse is suitable for a person to visit, and is also suitable to arrive with the person who saved you from loneliness. 2 Cape is located on the Grand Russian Island, a certain distance from the city, but the scenery is beautiful, it is the corner of Russia, where you can go hiking and hang gliding Umbrellas can be dived or blown up. It is a natural attraction that is very small. Cliffs, rocky beaches, ancient lighthouses, few foreign tourists will come here, and an hour of hiking is worth it.

Vladivostok Railway Station is located in the heart of the most prosperous downtown area of Vladivostok, adjacent to the harbour. From the flyover in front of the harbour, you can go directly to the dark locomotive model. This part is not a real platform, but a place that is opened for visitors to visit. There is a yea-type 3306 steam locomotive, a physical monument built to commemorate the heroic railway workers of World War II. The monument in front of the locomotive was dedicated to the heroic Far East Railway workers during the Great Patriotic War from 1941 to 1945. Many railway workers have died in the air strikes of the war. Opposite the locomotive there is a unique sculpture, his top is decorated with the Russian national emblem - double-headed eagle, with the number 9288 in the middle. Needless to say, you must know that this is the starting point of the famous eastern railway that runs through Russia, and the 9288-kilometer side is the capital of Russia, Moscow. More than 100 meters next to is the real train station. It is the most Russian architectural style of the land of Vladivostok, which is reminiscent of the representative works of Russian architectural art in the 17th century. The Vladivostok train station is in sync with the construction of the Russian Far East Railway. The railway station building has undergone several renovations. The Russian railway station building was now built in 1912 according to the plan of the Fonovarov. The appearance is exquisite and simple, full of aristocratic atmosphere. The main entrance is in the form of a triple arch, and the inside is a skate-shaped roof. There are some beautiful paintings on the ceiling and walls in the train station.

A very cozy and stylish restaurant in Vladivostok. For those who, like us, love early breakfast - here they serve them from 8 am! For those who are interested in wines, they have a special bar area separate from the restaurant. The design of the restaurant is really nice, especially the hidden wardrobe beside the books shelves 😃 🥘: GRANI restaurant 📍Address: Pogranichnaya Ulitsa, 10, Vladivostok, Primorsky Krai, 690091 #celebrateit

Spornivnaya Gavan is one the most visited areas for walking in Vladivostok in any season. During winter it becomes even more interesting and unique: you can walk not wonky along special designated areas but also on the sea, I mean the ice. Be careful, if it’s already the end of the season it’s dangerous to do so because the ice starts to break and melt. But once it’s frozen enough, it’s is a highly recommended experience 😃 #celebrateit
