The Best Places to Stay in Volgogad

The city’s history can be traced back to the 16th century, so for these reasons and more, it’s often considered a must-see for history aficionados. No matter what you’re after, you’ll need somewhere to stay while exploring. Here are the best accommodation options in Volgograd, Russia.
