Irbit
Spend a half‑day in Irbit to see the motorcycle museum and a quick walk to the State Museum of Fine Art; stay overnight only if you need a rest before the next leg.
Irbit is a small industrial town in Sverdlovsk Oblast, about 203 km by train from Yekaterinburg. Its main attractions are the State Motorcycle Museum, the State Museum of Fine Art and nearby ski‑hiking areas. With limited accommodation, a single day covers the highlights; an extra night is useful only for a relaxed schedule or onward travel.

- Europe ↗Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window, counted across all 29 Schengen states together — not per country; the Entry/Exit System now logs each crossing, so an overstay is detected automatically.
- Europe ↗On the first Schengen entry since EES began, non-EU travellers give four fingerprints and a face photo at the border instead of a passport stamp; there is nothing to apply for or pay in advance.
- Eastern Europe ↗Reach this subregion only from the EU side — Romania for Moldova — through crossings run by recognised authorities; no route through Ukraine, Belarus or Russia is planned here.
- Eastern Europe ↗Re-read your government's advice for Moldova (it covers Transnistria) in the week you travel; the situation next door changes fast.
- Eastern Europe ↗Carry euros in cash for Transnistria and village Moldova; cards stop working at the Dniester.
- Russia ↗Check your own government travel advice for Russia before any booking; advice depends on your passport and changes without notice.
- Russia ↗Direct flights from much of Europe and North America are suspended; no independent tourist route is documented here.
- Russia ↗Confirm that your travel insurance and medical evacuation cover apply to Russia before you rely on it.
