Putin arrived in the eastern Russian city of Magadan on his way to his summit with Trump, stopping for what appeared to be a series of unimportant meetings with local officials.
State media said he discussed the city's urban planning and inspected a fish oil processing and refining plant.
Such deliberately low-profile stops are a familiar prelude for the Russian leader before big events, a staged performance, observers say, intended to project confidence and control ahead of a meeting with the US president.
But there was also a pointed gesture clearly intended to charm Trump, as Putin laid flowers at a memorial commemorating US-USSR cooperation in World War II.
Trump has in the past praised Russia's military record, and Moscow has said the American leader was "deeply impressed" by the Soviet Union's losses during the war.
