Astrakhan, the administrative center of Astrakhan Oblast with a huge number of attractions, was founded in 1558. The city is located on 11 islands of the Caspian lowlands, in the upper part of the Volga delta. The main part of the city is located on the left bank of the Volga, while the right bank is home to about 20% of the inhabitants of the city. Both parts of the city are connected by two bridges over the Volga, with a total of about 30 bridges in Astrakhan.
It is here, in a city where Europe meets Asia and the cultures of many peoples are closely intertwined, that the unity of the Russian nation is fully felt. Representatives of various religious confessions live peacefully here: Christians and Muslims, Buddhists and Jews, and many others.
Astrakhan is famous for its amazing history, pristine and inviting nature, clean air and endless water surface, and its wonderful open and hospitable people.
Astrakhan is among the Russian cities with many historically valuable monuments of culture. This makes it a popular holiday destination for tourists from all over Russia and from near and far abroad, for whom the city cordially opens the doors of all its hotels.
The outskirts of Astrakhan is a place where you can relax, make a difference in the monotonous everyday life, forget about the problems and worries, and just have a good time. But most importantly, of course, it is a paradise for hunters and fishermen from all over the country.
