By far the best is the Mamayev Kurgan (The Motherland Calls Statue). It really is huge and by the sounds of reports it might fall over in the next few years. The next best is the museum and the buildings throughout the town that have history going back to the WWII Battle of Stalingrad. If you are going to Volgograd I would highly recommend you read up about those few months in WWII because it latterly changed the course of the war and the locals definitely haven’t forgotten even though it is over 70years later.

Hey Amanda. Volgograd is worth seeing but it is kindof in the middle of nowhere. Mamayev Kurgan statue is worth the trip though

I love it when a blog introduces me to an entirely new destination, and I have to say for me, Volgograd, is certainly one of those! I have yet to make it to Russia, but when I do I now have another spot to put on the list. And I know just what to do when I get there.

Thanks.There are some good cafe’s on Heroes Alley. This is a park walkway to the river. Kafe Nero near the river doesn’t look much from the outside but is quirky and very well done inside. Great selection of snacks and drinks also.

Great blog on really practical things in Volgograd. I wish more people blogged like this instead of getting carried away with purple prose! Any favourite cafes you can recommend?
