Krasnodar is located on the Kuban River about 150km north east of the Black Sea. It was founded in 1794 under the original name of Yekaterinador, however after the October Revolution its name was changed to Krasnodar. During WWII the city was occupied by the Germans and after the Russians defeated them there were trials held in Krasnodar to remove anyone who had aided the Germans.

Krasnodar is a beautiful cultural city full of parks, museums and theatres. The main street, Krasnaya Street, has many interesting sites to behold. The Park of the 30th Anniversary of the Victory is a wonderful space to relax during the spring and summer. Other notable places to visit are the Premier Music Theatre, the Hyperboloid Tower, St. Catherine�s Cathedral and Theatre Square, which is home to the largest splash fountain in Europe. For the kids (and big kids at heart amongst you!) there are 2 water parks located nearby.

There are daily flights from Moscow and St. Petersburg and also from abroad including Istanbul and Vienna.
