Emily Williams, dnata Travel’s resident globetrotter,<br />
reveals the best places to hop on a plane to this month<br />
Sochi<br />
Situated between the Black Sea and the Caucasus Mountains, this seaside city lures travellers with its subtropical<br />
climate and sunny weather (it enjoys around 300 days of guaranteed rays each year). In <strong>March</strong>, the palm-filled<br />
Arboretum Botanical Gardens is the perfect setting for a stroll, the sprawling Black Sea beaches are yours to unwind<br />
on, and the streets brim with vibrant markets. Out of town, Krasnaya Polyana offers smooth slopes to whizz down.<br />
Highlights 1 Check out the vibrant street art that punctuates the urban areas, including the cheeky Albert Einstein portrait near<br />
Sochi railway station. 2 Delve into the city's rich past at the Museum of Sochi History, which also displays the Soyuz<br />
9 spacecraft that broke records with its near 18-day flight in 1970. 3. As the only place in Russia that produces tea, it would be<br />
remiss not to taste Sochi's own brew. You can sip a cuppa in a traditional log house at Dagomys Tea Plantation.<br />
