Yekaterinburg is the capital of the Urals and the Sverdlovsk region. Founded in 1723, the city was named after Catherine II. In Soviet times, Yekaterinburg has renamed Sverdlovsk. After the collapse of the USSR, the original name was returned only to the city, not to the region. Even during the reign of the Empress became an important transport hub due to the location on the bank of the Iset and at the foot of the Ural Mountains. Today it is a cultural and industrial center and the fourth largest population by population in Russia.

Yekaterinburg is divided into 7 districts: Verkh-Isetsky, Zheleznodorozhny, Kirovsky, Leninsky, Oktyabrsky, Ordzhonikidzevsky, Chkalovsky.

Popular among tourists is Vainer Street, the so-called local Arbat, and Chapaeva Street. Earlier, merchants and wealthy people lived in the manors that survived here. Historical buildings have survived on the streets of the October Revolution, but the buildings of the Literary Quarter have been reconstructed. A noteworthy place here is the monument to A.S. To Pushkin. To immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the old city, go to the Rastorguev-Kharitonov Manor and the garden with the same name. Tourists must go to the Shartash stone tents. Granite rocks number more than 300 million years. According to legends, pagans performed sacrifices here.
