Fetch your suitcase, exit the arrivals hall at Arkhangelsk Airport (ARH-Talagi), and collect your rental car. Which one you drive off in depends on where you’re going. If you’ll be spending a lot of time driving in downtown Arkhangelsk, around 5 miles from the terminal, consider something small. A compact car with good handling will be ideal for navigating those bustling city streets. But with almost endless things to see, like the picturesque sandy shores of the surrounding region, you may want to add some pit stops. A bigger vehicle, like a full-size car or an SUV, will make longer road trips a joy.
