Since it became known that the 2014 Winter Olympics will be held in Sochi, this southern resort has become a center of attention. And before this event Sochi was popular with Russian tourists, but now it can compete for the title of the most visited city of Russia.

It's nice to learn that there is no time difference between Moscow and Sochi. Both these cities are in the time zone of UTC + 4. In the same time zone are the cities of Kislovodsk, Murom, Taganrog and many others. Here the visitor from Vladivostok will have to translate the clock 7 hours ahead, and the guest from Kamchatka to all 8.

In Sochi, life boils even in winter, when the main season is already closed. But to walk around this city with a mild climate and developed infrastructure people come all year round. In winter, tourists are also attracted by the famous ski resort Krasnaya Polyana.

From the Moscow airport you can get to the warm Black Sea by plane only 2-2.5 hours, from St. Petersburg - for 3.
