The city of Volgograd was established more than 400 years ago primarily because of its location at the crossroads of both land and waterways.
It has experienced three changes of its name during that time, first it was Tsaritsyn, then it was Stalingrad, and currently it is referred to as Volgograd.
Volgograd was the site of one of the most significant and decisive battles of World War II.
The Volgograd region boasts a rich cultural and historical heritage which is celebrated by the city's cultural foundations.
There are enough theaters and museums to keep almost any visitor to Volgograd busy for quite some time. The circus and the planetarium are also popular with visitors.
Volgograd is a city of sports fans. It is the home of the ROTOR football (soccer) team which counts itself among the most elite clubs in Russia and Europe.
