Are you planning to travel to Russia or the Caucasus by land and looking for up-to-date information on the different border crossings? You are in the right place!

On this page you will find guides to crossing Russia and the Caucasus’ land borders, from Europe (Poland and Estonia), the South Caucasus (Azerbaijan, Georgia and Turkey), and Abkhazia. I have personally crossed all of these borders, so my guides are based on my own experiences and observations on the ground.

These guides are up-to-date for 2026 and include practical information on public transport to the border, border procedures, required documents and what to expect during border controls, as well as my own travel experiences.
