The sun is slow to come out when Russia's spring starts in March. There is still snow and the weather is cold. It doesn't get warm until May 1st. It is known as Labour Day around the world, but May 1st is also called Spring Day in Russia. If you visit it in March and April, you can expect lower hotel prices and the chance to enjoy events like Women's Day. But May offers clearer skies and streets with fewer people, making it one of the best times to visit Russia.
Summer lasts from June to August and attracts the most tourists for the warm weather. The beautiful gardens come to life and there are lots of cultural festivals in the season. In Moscow, temperatures sometimes rise to 30℃. Sometimes it can be chilly (阴冷的) because of the sudden rain. During these months, you can follow the Russians who travel south to enjoy the beautiful Black Sea and Altai Mountains.
Autumn is a short but beautiful season. After a grey end to August, the sun often shines in September and even into October. This lovely weather is called Indian summer. The forests turn into beautiful colours, making the whole country look amazing. The warm weather is also good for outdoor activities. Also, if you want to enjoy famous ballet (芭蕾) shows, it's a good time.
Winter in Russia is not as cold as you might think. Outside of Siberia or the Arctic Circle, temperatures usually stay around —7℃ in January, the coldest month. The beautiful snow is perfect for all kinds of winter sports. Russian New Year celebrations last for two weeks, filled with music, dancing, and feasts (盛宴), making early January a lively time to visit.

当俄罗斯的春天在三月开始时，太阳迟迟不出来。仍然有雪，天气也很冷。直到5月1日才会变暖。5月1日在世界各地被称为劳动节，但在俄罗斯，5月1日也被称为春天日。如果你在三月和四月去俄罗斯旅游，你会发现酒店价格更低，还有机会享受像妇女节这样的活动。但五月天空更晴朗，街道上的人更少，是游览俄罗斯的最佳时间之一。
夏天从六月持续到八月，温暖的天气吸引了最多的游客。美丽的花园焕发生机，这个季节有很多文化节日。在莫斯科，气温有时会升到30℃。有时因为突然下雨会很阴冷。在这几个月里，你可以跟着俄罗斯人南下，欣赏美丽的黑海和阿尔泰山脉。
秋天是一个短暂但美丽的季节。在八月灰暗的结尾之后，九月甚至十月太阳经常照耀。这种宜人的天气被称为小阳春。森林变成美丽的颜色，让整个国家看起来令人惊叹。温暖的天气也适合户外活动。而且，如果你想欣赏著名的芭蕾舞表演，这也是一个好时机。
俄罗斯的冬天并不像你想象的那么冷。在西伯利亚或北极圈以外，一月（最冷的月份）的气温通常保持在-7℃左右。美丽的雪非常适合各种冬季运动。俄罗斯的新年庆祝活动持续两周，充满了音乐、舞蹈和盛宴，使得一月初成为游览的热闹时期。
那么，什么时候是游览俄罗斯的最佳时间呢？这由你决定！
