RUSSIA FIFA CUP 2018 - BIKE RENT/FOOTBALL MOTORCYCLE TOUR ACROSS RUSSIA FOR ENGLAND FANS

England plays in FIFA Cup 2018 with Tunis, Panama and Belgium. Games will be in Volgograd, Nizhny Novgorod and Kaliningrad.

Here is the schedule:

18th of June in Volgograd with Tunis

24th of June in Nizhny Novgorod with Panama

28th of June in Kaliningrad with Belgium

From our point of view, it’s reasonable to make Moscow – Volgograd – Samara – Nizhny Novgorod – Moscow ride and visit Kaliningrad by plane. With few days in Moscow in the beginning it comes up to be almost 3000 km and 14-day motorcycle trip. Here is the route - https://goo.gl/maps/3esEARNfdLB2

 

 

Moscow deserves several days in the beginning of the trip. Journey to Volgograd takes 2-3 days and few more days in the region to explore city and places around. Because of location right near the Kazahstan there are interesting steppe areas around the city, salted lakes, unusual small mountains. And definitely its worth spending a day in the city visiting World War II museums and memorials. Around this city was so far the most cruel battle in the human history, and it was a turning point of the Second World War.  

After Volgograd ride along the Volga river to Saratov, Samara and finally Nizhny Novgorod. Enjoy smoked and salted river fish, interesting roads, local beer. In Samara located the oldest beer factory which is still producing beer right from the USSR times.

Nizhny Novgorod is a city on the banks of Volga and Oka river. It has long and interesting history and steep hills. Be ready to climb a lot of take taxi...)))

From Nizhny Novgorod you will return in one day, its approx. 500 km distance over there (400 km by highway).
