The Russky Island Bridge — completed 2012 for the APEC summit and briefly the world's longest cable-stayed bridge — is free to cross by bus or car. The view of Golden Horn Bay from the bridge at golden hour is among the most spectacular urban panoramas in Russia.
Locals dine late — restaurants fill up after 9pm. Pickpockets are common on Las Ramblas.
🇷🇺 Vladivostok Fun Fact
Vladivostok means 'Ruler of the East' in Russian. The city is closer to San Francisco than to Moscow, and was completely closed to all foreigners — and most Soviet citizens — until 1992, classified as a top-secret Pacific naval base. The Trans-Siberian Railway terminates here, 9,289 km and 8 time zones from Moscow.
🇪🇸 Barcelona Fun Fact
Gaudí's Sagrada Família has been under construction since 1882 and is still not finished.
