Welcome to Sochi! (Travel Guide Included)

Having explored it myself, I highly recommend a 5-day, 4-night trip for the most relaxed experience 🏖️. After four busy days of sightseeing, you’ll appreciate spending the last day chilling at a seaside café with a coffee, just gazing at the Black Sea — I could watch it all day 😍! 📍 Where to Stay: It’s best to book your accommodation in Adler. From there, you can easily reach downtown Sochi via tourist shuttle buses or local trains 🚌🚆. I stayed in a double room for 4000 RUB/night, just 500m from the sea 🌊. There’s also a shopping street nearby where you can grab souvenirs 🛍️. The hotel is about 3 km from the train station — perfect for trying shared scooters via Yandex Go 🛴 (so much fun, highly recommend!). A bus stop is less than 50m away from the hotel, with buses going to all major attractions. While bus rides can be long, they’re cheap and great if you’re not in a hurry and want to enjoy the views 🚏. Hotel location: ул. Ленина, 219Г, Сочи. 📅 Day 1: Take it easy after arriving. Walk to the seaside, feed the seagulls 🕊️, and relax on a lounge chair or sofa with a coffee while soaking in the beautiful views of the Black Sea. Don’t forget to explore the souvenir shops — the locals are super friendly and welcoming 😊❤️! Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 📅 Day 2: Visit the Olympic Park and Sochi Park (amusement park) — they’re very close to each other. You can explore the Olympic Park first and then head to the amusement park, or enjoy the rides and return in the evening to see the park lit up 🌟. Olympic Park: Free entry 🆓! There’s a souvenir shop where I bought two Zabivaka mascots (only 60 RUB each 🧸). Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sochi Park: The ticket includes unlimited access to all rides except the Ferris wheel, which costs an extra 500 RUB. Adult ticket: 2300 RUB Student ticket: 1850 RUB (don’t forget your student ID! 🎓) Must-try: the two roller coasters 🎢 — the purple one is absolutely thrilling, and the yellow one is super fun too! There are also plenty of kid-friendly rides and a free dolphin show 🐬. Definitely worth visiting! Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ #Russia #Sochi #Travel #Guide
