My Russian visa is my most prized visa because it was the hardest to get. You need a visa
to get into Russia regardless of how long you are staying, and it is a much more
complicated process than getting a visa for any other European country. The first step
is to find out what...

Since transit visas imply that you won't be staying long, they are fairly inexpensive and
easy to get. However, you don't want to get this visa just because of convenience if
you'll be staying long or visiting sights as a tourist. For all its simplicity, you'll be
kicking yourself...

These are the most common type of visas and generally last up to 14 days (although
occasionally they can be as long as 30 days). The cost is roughly $50 USD and will take a
week or so to process. As long as you are entering Russia only once and visiting no more
than five cities...

There are three kinds of business visas: the business single entry visa, the business
double entry visa, and the business multiple entry visa. The first two are exactly as
they sound: a single entry visa will get you in one time for either 30 or 90 days, and a
double entry visa will...

This is the most difficult visa to get. Be prepared for getting in line, waiting, getting
turned down, and coming back the next day to queue, wait, and repeat the process again.
Hopefully not too often. You can get this visa only if you have friends or family in
Russia that can get...

Don't let the poorly designed website fool you; Gregoire is a rather chic restaurant
that's easy on the eyes if not on the wallet. With locations in both Oakland and
Berkeley, you also have options in case one is booked up. However, my advice with
Gregoire is to go for lunch....

There is a lot of buzz about the Slow Food movement going on right now, particularly in
the States and especially in the San Francisco Bay area. If you're a foodie looking for a
truly authentic experience on the West Coast, run--don't walk--to Northern California and
bring your...

Chez Panisse is not only one of the most famous restaurants in the Slow Foods movement, it
is also one of the most famous restaurants in California and the United States. Alice
Water's flagship restaurant for what has become a dynasty opened in the late 1970s in
Berkeley and is a...

Part of the Visa process is getting an invitation for the type of Russian visa you want.
Unless you're opting for the private visa, the best way to do this is to work with a
Russian travel agency. They will help you with visa support; however it's critical that
you choose an agency...

This is a slightly more complex letter of invitation to get than can be provided by a
tourist organization (although they can point you in the right direction as to where to go
and who to speak with). Getting a business letter of invitation requires going to your
local department of...

Again, you really need someone on the inside (friends or family members) to help you with
a Private Visa, and that includes securing an Izveschenye/Private Visa Invitation. Like
the Business Visas, you'll need to go through a Passport and Visa Service (PVU). This
will take longer,...

I worked with Infinity Travel (now named UniFest Travel) to get my invitation and they
couldn't be more pleasant, helpful, and efficient. With outposts in Moscow and St.
Pete's, they got me my invitation and assisted with the rest of the visa process
(including registration) faster...

Now that you've done all that work in choosing your visa type and securing a letter of
invitation, you need to actually apply for the visa. If you have the time, patience, and
tenacity, you can apply in-person at the Russian consulate of your current city of
residence. You can also...

Obviously, you need your letter of invitation. Apart from that, you need several other
forms and documents to apply for your visa. Make sure you have all of these and that they
are correctly filled out so that you don't get turned down the first time. You'll need an
application...

When you get your visa, check it once and check it twice in the consulate. Make sure that
your name is spelled correctly, that the correct number of entries is listed, that your
entry and departure dates are correct along with the visa type, as well as your passport
number and date...

One last stop! When you arrive in Russia, you must register your visa. The easiest way
to do this is through the travel agency that has helped you to set up your visa. They
will guide you to the correct bureau to see on your first day in Russia and this is a
fairly quick and...

When it comes to Cafe Rouge, eat at the bar. A mainstay at 1782 4th Street, Cafe Rouge
has amazing food and amazing atmosphere (think one of those French bistros that does all
of its shopping at local farmer's markets or in Les Halles), however it often takes the
French attitude too...

Eccolo is like a Tuscan estate nestled on Berkeley's bustling Fourth Street (1820 Fourth,
to be exact, just down the street from Cafe Rouge). Its warm ochre/yellow interior with
light pouring in and white-washed terrazzo with dining al fresco underneath the shade of
an umbrella is a...

The similarities between Rivoli (1539 Solano Ave) and Eccolo (1820 Fourth Street) are
pretty striking: both feature light, warm yellows, garden settings, Italian cuisine, and
high prices. Were their menus not vastly different, I would even venture a guess that
they at one point...

If you’re looking for museums in Berlin, your best starting point is Museumsinsel
(Museums Island). Museumsinsel is the name for the northern half of Spreeinsel, which is
an island in--you guessed it--the Spree river. Several of these buildings were destroyed
in World War II,...
