Perfect Yekaterinburg Weekend

Yekaterinburg is situated at land border between two continents – Europe and Asia and was founded in 1723. This is the fourth largest city in Russia. The family of the last Russian emperor was executed here and it is the birthplace of the first Russian president. Nowadays Yekaterinburg is a modern, rapidly growing megalopolis with many sights to see.

As a modern city with a long past, Yekaterinburg has so many elements to explore. Execution site to the last Russian royal family and birth place to the Russian Federation’s first president, the city has unique political importance. Its industrial roots are still evident in many of its constructivist buildings, replete with Brutalist charm and splendour. It also has a thriving art, culture and music scene, and as the major city for the Ural region, straddling both European and Asian Russia, it is a gastronomical delight. All this makes for a busy trip if you’re visiting for a short time, so don’t miss out on the best bits with our weekend guide.
