Vladivostok is a great city in general. It's one of the best in the East part of Russia. I visited it several times during my business trips and I found a way to enjoy the city. The best season there is summer as the weather is not so disgusting as in other seasons. There're a lot of accommodation options to choose, I stayed at Lotte and Azimut, they're pretty acceptable. There’re also a lot of good restaurants like Zuma and Korea House. If you happen to visit this region, I'd recommend trying seafood, the region is famous for it. The prices in the city are generally reasonable.
