Excursions and tours
in Volgograd

Mamayev Kurgan

1.5-2 hours

Two hundred granite steps, one for each day of the Battle of Stalingrad, lead up to The Motherland Calls.

The Eternal Flame burns in the Hall of Military Glory, watched over by the honour guard.

No special way of looking is needed. The place speaks for itself, quietening even the liveliest groups.

• The Motherland Calls
• Hall of Military Glory and Eternal Flame
• Changing of the guard (daytime)
• Square of Sorrow and Stand to the Death Square

from 6 500 ₽ per group

Metrotram

30-40 minutes

An ordinary-looking tram crosses the city, then suddenly dives into a tunnel with proper underground stations.

The only system of its kind in Russia.

Half an hour underground can tell you more about Volgograd than an hour on a bus.

• Metro-style stations beneath the city centre
• Ride the working Metrotram
• The story of the city's transport

3 500 ₽

Volgograd from the Water

1-2 hours

Volgograd stretches almost 80 kilometres along the Volga, and nowhere shows that better than the river.

A one or two-hour guided motorboat ride, or a private yacht with a buffet table for your group.

Sunset is the loveliest time.

• Guided motorboat trip - 1 or 2 hours
• Private yacht with a buffet table for your group
• Riverboat cruise - a leisurely option
• Sunset over the Volga from the water

Living History and a Tank Ride

Sarepta

A living-history museum at Old Sarepta, with wartime uniforms, vehicles and objects you can handle.

The highlight is a real tank ride: the engine's roar, clattering tracks and dust rising behind you.

An experience no display behind glass can recreate.

• Handle military equipment and objects
• Ride a real tank
• At Old Sarepta - easy to combine visits

1 500 ₽ per person

Maslyaev Tower

Exclusive · up to 15 guests

The historic tower of architect Maslyaev's building, right in the city centre.

Enter through an ordinary residential stairwell, rather than from the street. Guests say it feels like a treasure hunt.

Visit for the views alone, or add a buffet of local wines and cheeses.

• An unexpected entrance through a residential doorway
• Five levels of a historic tower, with a lift

Pavlov's House and Gerhardt's Mill

30 minutes

An apartment building that became a fortress for 58 days.

Nearby, Gerhardt's Mill remains untouched since the battle, its ruins showing what war truly meant.

One of the city's most moving stops, and one of its shortest: half an hour that stays with you.

• Ruins of Gerhardt's Mill
• The story of 58 days of defence

3 500 ₽

Alexandrovsky Graben

Full day

The flat steppe suddenly drops away, revealing a canyon with layered walls above the water.

Geologists come for the layers of time; other visitors come for open space and quiet.

You can stop at Gusev Winery along the way.

• A canyon in the steppe
• Volgograd's regional landscapes
• Optional visit to Gusev Winery

from 11 000 ₽

Soldiers' Field

Out of town

A field outside Volgograd where so much metal remained after the war that it could not be ploughed for years.

Rossoshki

Out of town

Two memorials face each other: Soviet and German.

Rows of headstones topped with soldiers' helmets, and the wind of the steppe.

You leave less with photographs than with thoughts.

Usually combined with Soldiers' Field and Lyudnikov's Island for a day with a historian guide.

• Soviet and German memorials facing each other

Military history

A narrow stretch of the Volga bank behind the Barrikady factory, held by Lyudnikov's 138th Division while cut off from its own forces.

The command post ruins have stood here since 1942.

Few visitors make it this far, which makes these places all the more moving.
