MURMANSK - THE WINTER CAPITAL OF RUSSIA

07 November 2024

Murmansk is the world's largest city located above the Arctic Circle and one of the largest ports in Russia. Thanks to the warm current, Murmansk is a frost-free port.

Located on the hills, the city seems to descend from the peaks to the sea. In summer there is a polar day, and in winter there is a polar night and you can often see the northern lights. The world's first nuclear-powered icebreaker Lenin is moored in the port of Murmansk, where a museum is now open. Everyone can learn about the history of the icebreaker from the moment of its launching. The symbol of the city is the monument Alyosha, dedicated to the defenders of the Polar region. The monument is more than 40 metres high and is situated on the top of a hill and can be seen almost from any point of the city. Next to the monument there is a memorial lighthouse and the Church of the Saviour on Waters.

Fans of gastronomic tours Murmansk restaurants will please with fresh seafood. Natives of this region have been fishing since ancient times. It is worth coming here to taste freshly caught seafood which gets on your plate just a few minutes after it was taken out of the water. Here you can try sea urchin, crab, scallop and other sea delicacies.

MIR Travel Company will be happy to show you the hospitable Murmansk!
