The Incredible Wooden Buildings of Kizhi Island, Russia

Travelling along Russia’s historic waterways from glitzy Moscow to imperial St Petersburg is the ideal way to discover the real Russia. I traveled aboard the MS Lavrinenkov where my highlight was the incredible island of Kizhi, home to one of Russia’s largest open-air museums which boasts almost ninety historic wooden buildings.
