Package holiday to Wolgograd

Wolgograd — formerly Stalingrad — is one of the most historically significant cities in the world. The Battle of Stalingrad (1942-1943) was the turning point of World War II and continues to shape the city today. Wolgograd stretches over 80 kilometers along the western bank of the Volga and is a city of monuments, memorial sites, and the indestructible Russian spirit.

The Mamayev Kurgan — "Motherland Calls!" — is the monumental memorial on the hill that changed hands during the battle and became a symbol of resistance. The 85-meter-high Motherland statue was the largest statue in the world at the time of its construction and remains one of the most impressive to this day.

The Panorama Museum showcases a 360° painting of the battle over 2,000 square meters. The ruins of the Gerhardt Mill — a deliberately unrebuilt mill in the middle of the city — stand as a silent memorial to the destruction.

Wolgograd is also the starting point for tours into the Volga Steppe and to Lake Elton — one of the saltiest lakes in the world, whose surface glimmers golden at sunset. The Volga promenade with the modern Dancing Bridge offers relaxation by the river in summer.

Wolgograd particularly impresses with fascinating culture. As a package holiday destination, you benefit from attractive all-inclusive packages with flights, hotels, and often transfers – all at a fixed price and fully secured.
