Vladivostok In Pictures

Vladivostok, "Ruler-of-the-east" was founded in 1860. With its natural harbour, Golden Horn Bay, it is the home to the Russian Pacific Fleet and as a trading port, and has brought prosperity to the city.

It was off limit to foreigners during the Soviet times and was opened again only in 1992.

Vladivostok is a small but lively and attractive city with a pleasant climate. It is more cosmopolitan in character because it is close to China, Korea and Japan.

But, travelers beware! It is a travel cul-de-sac without any international airlines except one route to Seoul by KE!
