The city of Ufa is the capital of the Republic of Bashkortostan. It is located on the banks of the Belaya River in the place where the rivers Dema and Ufa flow into it. Ufa hotels are always ready to receive guests of the city.
History of the city
Many years ago, or rather, in the XIV century, on the banks of the Belaya River, the city was not discussed at all. There was one fortress, something like the residence of one of the governors of the Nogai Horde. The year 1557 completely changed the circumstances. This year, in order to get protection from Russia from raids, Bashkiria voluntarily wished to enter its structure and thereby protect its people. More than 20 years passed before Ivan the Terrible came up with the idea to build a village on the site of the fortress, and after another 12 years, the built village received the status of the city now known as Ufa. It became the capital of Bashkiria - a huge city with a population of one and a half million people. Moreover, more than a dozen different nationalities.
There is something to see here
According to statistics, Ufa is considered one of the greenest cities in Russia. Ufa monuments have become the hallmark of the capital of Bashkortostan.
The most famous of them are the monument to Salavat Yulaev, the Friendship Monument, the monument to V.I. Lenin in the park M. Gafuri, Devil's hillfort, the Church of the Nativity of the Virgin.
In addition to these well-known and favorite tourist attractions, the city has 20 museums, 8 parks, more than 40 monuments, the Botanical Garden, the Akbuzat Hippodrome, and, of course, the unforgettable, incomparable nature of the surroundings: endless rivers, forests, fields .
How to get to Ufa?
Getting to the capital of Bashkiria is quite simple. You can use air transport for this: airplanes depart from Moscow airport hourly to Ufa. It will take you only an hour and a half to fly.
In addition to the aircraft, rail services are at the service of the population. From Moscow to Ufa will have to travel by train almost a day.
But if you get your own car, it is possible to get a lot of impressions and pleasures from the trip. It all depends on which highway to go to Samara or Kazan.
Where to stay?
But before you decide to come, you need to consider not only the route of excursions, you need to take care of the overnight stay. You can, of course, rent a room for a couple of days or an apartment for rent, but the best option is a room in one of the hotels in the city, especially since Ufa hotels - inexpensive and chic - are available in sufficient quantities for every taste and budget. The budget option is very convenient if there is money, but not so much that all of them spend on living. It is better, of course, to go to the park for a saved money, to visit a museum or theater.
