YeniseyskЕнисе́йск
Half-day stop if you are in Krasnoyarsk Region and want to see Siberian Baroque churches and a 400-year-old river town; not worth a dedicated trip from Moscow.
Yeniseysk is a small historic town on the Yenisey River, one of the first Russian settlements in Siberia. Its main draw is the Cathedral of the Assumption (Siberian Baroque) and the Monastery of the Transfiguration. Most visitors come from Krasnoyarsk (about 6 hours by bus) and spend a few hours walking the old streets. The town has a population around 3,000 and very limited accommodation.

- 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.
