Livestream
Attending a launch in person
Paid guided tours are how foreigners access Russian cosmodromes, for example Russia Discovery or Star City Tours, at a cost of around 3000 USD. The most valuable service they'll provide is organizing your permits with the Russian or Kazakh authorities.
If you only plan on seeing one, Vostochny is the most modern and likely the heart of Russian spaceflight moving forward, while Baikonur is steeped in history as the launch place of the first human in space (Yuri Gagarin).
How to get there
The closest commercial airport is Kyzylorda Airport in Kyzylorda. If flying internationally you will likely need to change flights at a larger hub like Almaty International Airport.
From the airport you can take a 3-drive via rental car or a 4-hour train to Baikonur.
