Murmansk

Murmansk — the Arctic Gateway of Russia

Located beyond the Arctic Circle, Murmansk is the world’s largest city in the polar region and a true symbol of the Russian North. Surrounded by tundra and fjord-like bays, it offers a unique blend of Arctic beauty, maritime heritage, and northern charm.

Among the city’s highlights are the Alyosha Monument, dedicated to World War II defenders, the Northern Fleet Museum, and the nuclear-powered icebreaker Lenin — the first of its kind in the world. In winter, Murmansk becomes one of the best places to witness the Northern Lights, while in summer, visitors experience the enchanting Midnight Sun.

Whether you’re chasing the aurora, exploring polar history, or embracing Arctic adventure, Murmansk offers an unforgettable journey to the edge of the world.
