Vladivostok 3-Day Tour Itinerary for Low-Energy Workers Craving a Taste of the Far East

Vladivostok is probably the most accessible European destination for workers! This chill coastal city is perfect for exploring all the downtown attractions on foot. Even during holidays, it's not too crowded, which is great for us low-energy workers. Here's a breakdown of my expenses and itinerary – go for it! . 💴 Round-trip direct flight with Aeroflot from Shanghai → Vladivostok: 1,258/person Three nights at Zhemchuzhina Hotel: 1,200 I exchanged RUB in Shanghai (RUB 5,000 for RMB 466) and brought another 2,000 to exchange locally. You can't use Visa or UnionPay in Russia! . Day 1: Lighthouse (0.5h) → Cape (4h) → Glass Beach (0.5h) (chartered car) The trip takes about 7h. These three spots are far from the city center, and the temperature is a bit lower, so dress warmly. There are no restrooms along the way!!! Day 2: East Line Citywalk: Victory Square → Gun Shop Torgovy Dom Snayper → Triumphal Arch 📍Svetlanskaya Street, 37 → C-56 Submarine Museum 📍Submarine S-56 Korabelnaya → Russian Grand Circus → Eagle's Nest Hill observation deck sunset Орлиное гнездо Day 3: West Line Citywalk: Victory Square → Graffiti Street Old Town Сквер Городов-побратимов → Fountain Street (leading directly to the sea) → Vladivostok Fortress Museum Музей Владивостокская крепость (you can climb on tanks) → Sportivnaya Embankment Семь сопок (watch the sunset) → Lenin Square Памятник В.И.Ленину * This citywalk itinerary looks packed, but you can actually finish it in 4–5 hours! . Travel Tips Use Yandex Maps or Google Maps for local navigation. Just copy and paste the Russian names above. There are two ways to get Internet: international roaming or buying a local SIM card in advance. English and Chinese proficiency is low! You'll need a translation app to communicate. The locals are quite friendly, and it's safe to travel independently.
