Yekaterinburg Travel Safety Guide — Russia

Safety Score: 7/10 · Value: 8.5/10 · Beauty: 6.7/10

Yekaterinburg is Russia's fourth-largest city and the cultural capital of the Urals, a major industrial and manufacturing hub positioned exactly on the Europe–Asia geographic border (marked by a modest obelisk 35 km from the city). The city has deep historical significance: the last Tsar Nicholas II and his family were executed here in 1918, and the Church on the Blood was built on the exact site. Boris Yeltsin was born nearby and governed from here, the Yeltsin Presidential Centre is now one of Russia's best museums. It hosted the 2018 FIFA World Cup and has a sophisticated restaurant and arts scene for a Siberian gateway city.
