VLADIVOSTOK

The Far East Russian city of Vladivostok -- "Lord of the East" -- remains the base for the nation's Pacific Fleet, the presence of which, during the Soviet era, closed the city to the outside world in 1958. It was reopened to visitors in 1992. Today, with a population of around 800,000, Vlad (as it is often shortened), has a worldly outlook.

Adventurous rail riders know Vladivostok as the eastern terminus of the world-famous Trans-Siberian Railway, which starts in Moscow, seven time zones to the west. Those who take to the streets once they get off the train are in for another adventure: The city's infamously steep avenues have been compared with those of San Francisco. These highpoints offer often spectacular views of Golden Horn Bay and the Pacific Ocean.
