As a former Bay area resident, I can tell you the city is very much like San Francisco (hilly) minus the cable cars with similiar architecture, great turn of the century buildings. Keep in mind that pedestrians are fair game for drivers, regardless of the traffic lights. Great waterfront area and aquarium. I really enjoyed the time spent on the ...

Vlad is not pedestrian friendly, the autos are crazy! You must be able to read Russian to understand anything. It is hilly, similar to San Francisco. Not many souvenir shops, not may postcards to be found. Plenty of sidewalk snacks and coffee shops. Most young folks speak a little English. Why don't they fry their bacon until it's crispy?

Vladivostok is good sity for discovering deep soul of russian people :)

I'll start the peice on a positive note, the atmosphere was quite enjoyable and rather unique. I travel quite often and found the atmosphere in Vladivostok quite reccomendable. The hoteml now... well that gave me a bit of fodder to write about, the conveniance was poor and saddened after i read the reviews. It was safe and good value for money though. i've got to go my dog just bit my hand badly, i wrote the last paragraph with one hand.
