Moscow and Petersburg were able to lead the top of the most attractive cities in Russia according to the travel service Tutu.

The third place is the Nizhny Novgorod region. And one of the reasons is the same - modern high-speed trains to both capitals.
The remaining two places in the top five are resort destinations in the Krasnodar Territory and the Rostov Region.
