Volgograd

Frame 386.png Volgograd - one of the largest cities in the South of Russia, has changed its name and appearance more than once during the history: the pre-revolutionary Tsaritsyn developed from a border military town to a large industrial center; Soviet Stalingrad went down in history as an indestructible stronghold of the human spirit; modern Volgograd remains an important industrial and scientific center of Russia. It is also called the port of the five seas, because the Volga-Don Canal connects the warm southern seas - the Black, Azov, Caspian - with the cold Baltic and the North Sea.

 

In Volgograd the tourist infrastructure flourish every year. Tourists are attracted by the rich history of Volgograd and its picturesque location. In the historical part of the city, green and comfortable area, the pompous Soviet Empire style coexists with cozy modern cafes and restaurants.
