Murmansk City Tour in Russia Tours
A Murmansk City Tour offers an opportunity to explore the largest city above the Arctic Circle and discover the unique history, culture and landscapes of Russia’s far north. Located on the Kola Peninsula along the Kola Bay, Murmansk is an important Arctic port and a gateway to the surrounding northern wilderness.
During a city tour, visitors can explore notable landmarks such as the Alyosha Monument, dedicated to the defenders of the Soviet Arctic, the Memorial Complex to the Sailors Who Died in Peacetime, and the historic Murmansk Railway Station.
