Yekaterinburg

The capital of the Urals — a city made for unconventional journeys.
Here you can swim in a rooftop infinity pool atop a skyscraper, visit the actual border of Europe and Asia, and marvel at giant factory flywheels — monuments of the industrial era.
In Yekaterinburg, you can walk through labyrinths of history: trace the last steps of Russia’s Emperor Nicholas II and dive into the legacy of Russia’s first president, Boris Yeltsin.
