Saratov

About Saratov

Everybody knows about the major Russian cities, but there are many genuine undiscovered places like Saratov that sample the culture of the people who live there. It’s a city of friendly and open-minded people caught up in living their lives. It’s absolutely safe and authentic place with easy reach from Europe (total 6hrs flight time with change in Moscow). Being not a small city (its population is compared to Birmingham and San Francisco) and having long-long history (it’s older than New York), it represents real Russian life and culture and provides a wide range of indoor and outdoor activities. Located alongshore the biggest river of Europe(imagine!!!) and surrounded with picturesque forests it’s a must have spot of your travelling experience. Although globalization penetrated Saratov and the Volga region and there are no more bears walking on the streets =))), it hasn’t completely obscured local culture and lifestyle yet. It’s just the time to visit!
