About Trinidad and Tobago

Trinidad and Tobago is a relatively small island nation spread out in the Caribbean, off the coast of Venezuela. This country is remarkable for the fact that it has made tourism its main activity and the main branch of the economy.

Here for tourists, nature itself has created literally paradisiacal conditions – clean sandy beaches, a favourable climate, in which there are no sharp temperature changes and seasons, lush tropical greenery, a lot of rare animals. People have also tried their best, having built comfortable hotels and offering travellers an excellent level of service, having organised lush carnivals.

Russian tourists travelling to one of the islands of Trinidad and Tobago do not need visas, but they will have to fly through Europe, for example, London or Amsterdam.
