Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Natural landscape
Mamayev Kurgan
Stairs, terrain and monuments form a memorial route on Mamayev Kurgan. Moving through the site offers a different experience from a distant view, connecting commemorative spaces with Volgograd’s landscape.
Architectural heritage
House of Pavlov
Pavlov’s House is a battle-memory landmark in an inhabited neighbourhood. Its facade and memorial elements are viewed from outside; it should not be presented as a freely accessible house museum.
Natural landscape
Ruins of the Gerhardt Mill
The Gerhardt Mill’s shattered walls and openings preserve material traces of destruction. Viewing the ruins belongs to the memorial landscape beside the panorama museum, without assuming entry inside the masonry.
Museum
Museum-panorama of the Battle of Stalingrad
The museum combines exhibition rooms, dioramas and a large panoramic representation of the battle. The military objects photographed outside form one part of the visit rather than a summary of the indoor displays.
