Why you should go to Ufa: a short tour of the city

Ufa is the capital of the Republic of Bashkortostan, and in addition - a large industrial, cultural and administrative center of the Pre-Urals, so it is quite attractive for tourists. And what exactly it attracts people from all over Russia and not only, we will tell you now.

First, it has a rich history: traces of the presence of a Paleolithic man were discovered in the vicinity of Ufa, in addition, this city is mentioned in the works of the Arab historian Ibn Khaldun. But officially, the age of Ufa is counted from 1574 - it was in this year that the fortress was founded. The fate of the Bashkir national hero Salavat Yulaev is closely connected with Ufa. By the way, the monument, which was erected in his honor by Soslanbek Tavasiev, reaches a height of almost ten meters and is the largest equestrian statue in Europe.

Secondly, the capital of Bashkortostan is surrounded by beautiful natural landscapes, which, of course, plays into its hands. Ufa stands on the famous White River, thanks to which the best views of the city are comprehended during a river walk. And the hilly Ufa plains contribute to the development and prosperity of skiing here: if you are interested, you can visit the ski complexes "I Court" and "Olympic Park", in addition, do not lose sight of the sports and recreation complex of the international category "Biathlon".

In Ufa, an extreme type of recreation is popular. An additional confirmation of this is the fact that informally Ufa is considered the capital of Russian track motorsport. The city annually hosts stages of the world championship in motorcycle racing on ice. At the airport "Zabelsky" you can ride on quad bikes and snowmobiles, make a parachute jump and fly on a motodeltaglider.

It is worth visiting the Majita Gafuri CPCiO because, in addition to all sorts of attractions, there is the only Ferris wheel in the city, in winter you can ski and skate in the park, and in summer - in karting. I also want to note the Garden of Culture and Recreation named after S.T. Aksakov, is a stunningly beautiful place, in the pond of which swans-shipoons were brought to supplement the picture. Do not ignore the Ufa Hippodrome, the place is quite attractive. The city has two embankments, they are located in different parts of the city: one on the Ufa River and is called “Ufa River Embankment”, the other on the White River and is called “Naberezhnaya”.

You will be offered to visit tours around the city, mostly three, with about the same theme. It is up to you to decide, of course, but is it not better to walk around the city on your own, especially since the language, as you know, will bring it to Kiev?

At night, the city is full of life: there are enough clubs here to find a place on its own. I want to mention such places as “A cafe” and “Lights of Ufa”. The entertainment complex "A Cafe" has its own life, quite fascinating and addictive, and it is visited not only by young, but also by adults, accomplished people, and this says something. Visiting the "Lights of Ufa" you can try live beer (the complex has its own brewery), visit the concert of the artist of any scale and just cool off at the disco.

There are no five-star hotels in the city, but there are decent ones. hotel Business class such as "Bashkortostan", "Tan" and "Agidel", they can relax and relax quite comfortably. But you can find a more budget option in such hotels as Nur, Eurasia, etc. And if you are not afraid to take risks, you can try to rent an inexpensive apartment on the spot.

Ufa is a provincial Russian city with increasing potential, in summer it pleases people with its greenery and sunshine on the river surface; in winter – with active sports and pleasant frosty air. Trust your impressions to this Bashkir beauty, and she will forever remain in your memory!
