The longest trips for an average of six days were made to Prague, with the shortest ones to Poland’s Krakow (one day).

The most popular beach holiday destinations during the May break were Cyprus, Greece, and Tunisia.

Saint Petersburg, Moscow and Kazan were the top three domestic tourism destinations.
