Saint Petersburg, Sochi, Moscow, Anapa, Kazan, Yaroslavl, Velikiy Novgorod, Kostroma, and Pskov were also on this rating. The rating was based on the hotel bookings made by family travelers in 2014.

Moscow Region proved the most expensive place to stay for families with children: a hotel stay was 4,500 RUR per night on average; the Crimea proved the cheapest place (2,300 RUR per night). The longest trips were made to Anapa (eight days on average).
