Murmansk Travel Guide

Don t buy the cheap cigarettes&caviar which are offered to you in the city by the locals all-fakes!!!
don t change any money if you don tknow how the actuall ruble looks like:))).If you don t have the chance for a needle test or at least for a salt water test  don t buy amber!!!The fake ones are sometimes more nicer than the real ones(esp. the one with insects inside!!) Be clever : Even the best copies are only copies!

There is no night for nearly 2 summer months due to the Polar day when the sun doesn't go down :). There is no day for nearly 1.5 winter months due to the Polar night when the sun doesn't rise :). From time to time you can be tempted away by the polar lights that you can see in the sky :)

Always have a new tire in your car while traveling in northern Russia's outback! Some roads can be very bad... A 4x4 could be a good idea, in a matter of fact, especially if you intend to cross rivers.
