City
Yekaterinburg romanized Ekaterinburg, is the fourth-largest city in Russia and the administrative centre of Sverdlovsk Oblast, located on the Iset River east of the Ural Mountains, in the middle of the Eurasian continent, on the Asian side of the boundary between Asia and Europe. It is the main cultural and industrial centre of the oblast. In 2018, it had an estimated population of 1,501,652. Yekaterinburg has been dubbed the “third capital of Russia”, as it is ranked third by the size of economy, culture, transportation and tourism. It is located about 1,420 kilometres (880 mi) to the east of Moscow.
Unique architectural environment
According to the Institute of Clod Nicole Ledu, Yekaterinburg’s planning and architectural development puts it among the world’s “12 ideal cities”. The unofficial capital of the Urals seems to have it all: over 600 historical and cultural monuments, 18th- and 19th century stone and wooden buildings, iconic pieces of constructivist architecture and the world’s most Northern skyscrapers. Admire the intricate ornaments of the Sevastyanov house, marvel at the fascinating geometry of the Chekist Town and look at the city from the observation deck, located at the 198 meter ( 649 ft) high Vysotsky, the tallest building in the Ural-Siberian and Central Asian Regions.
Glorious music scene
No matter how odd it may seem, the Beatles memorial in the centre of Yekaterinburg is probably the most symbolic place in the city: the Liverpool band (banned in the USSR) inspired the country’s most influential rock-club. Today Yekaterinburg’s music legacy is as powerful as ever: the aforementioned rock-club produced the legendary bands you can still find on teenagers’ playlists: Nautilus Pompilius, Chaif, Agatha Christie and Smyslovye Gallyutsinatsii, there are younger culty bands like Kurara and Sansara along with emerging players like Sage and Daniel Shake. Visit one of the city’s music festivals like Ural Music Night, stop by EverJazz club for an evening of high quality entertainment or dance the night away at the hip Dom Pechati.
Industrial heritage
Russia’s best city for business and investment, Yekaterinburg is often referred to as the unofficial capital of the Urals – the region, where Russia’s largest metallurgical enterprises are concentrated. Metal produced by Yekaterinburg plants was used to build some of the world’s most illustrious landmarks: New York’s Statue of Liberty, the Eiffel Tower in Paris and the Houses of Parliament in London. You can learn about the city’s industrial past (and present as well) on one of many city tours and hear about Yekaterinburg’s first metallurgical plant, built in 1704, and see the legendary Uralmash with your own eyes.
