About City
Volgograd is one of Russia’s oldest cities and an important industrial center with just over a million inhabitants. It has a strategic location to the South of Moscow and is often known as the window to Russia, due to it being a short distance away from Georgia, Ukraine, and Kazakhstan. It has remained an important commercial hub from the Soviet era and remains so in the present day. To most Europeans, Volgograd is perhaps better known under its Soviet name, Stalingrad, and for the famous resistance against the invading German troops during the Second World War.
Volgograd today is the site of The Motherland Calls, an 85-meter high statue dedicated to the heroes of the Battle of Stalingrad, which is the tallest statue in Europe, as well as the tallest statue of a woman in the world. One of the most popular attractions is the Mamayev Kurgan memorial complex, a hill overlooking Volgograd that is a must-see in any Volgograd tour. The city is full of universities, cafes, restaurants, picturesque sightseeing, libraries, theatres, cinemas, and other attractions that are worth visiting for everybody.
The most beautiful one is the light and music fountain, located in front of the Opera and Ballet Theater. The city is full of attractions for young people and international students such as modern museums, Indian restaurants, Asian restaurants, Russian restaurants, food stores, art galleries, cinemas, and recreation areas.
