Several European countries have issued full bans on almost all tourist visas for Russian citizens. That hasn't stopped them traveling legally within the European Union.

Despite Western sanctions and travel restrictions imposed on Russia due to geopolitical tensions, many Russians continue to travel to Europe, as reported by CNN on April 23, 2025. The article highlights that while the sanctions have made travel more complicated and expensive, resourceful Russians are finding ways to circumvent these restrictions, such as using indirect flights through countries like Turkey and the UAE, or obtaining visas from European countries that still allow Russian tourists. The piece also notes a significant decrease in the number of Russian tourists compared to pre-sanction levels, but emphasizes that the desire to travel and experience European culture remains strong among Russians, with many expressing frustration over the political situation affecting their travel plans.
