You can't put in words how beautiful this place is. It's an amazing memorial that you won't ever forget in your life. Even though I live in Chicago, this is the city I was born in. It was previously named Stalingrad and from what any history will tell you is that the battle of Stalingrad was most likely the bloodiest battle during World War II. The River Volga was running red with blood. Almost every building in the city was completely leveled to dust. This memorial is a commemoration to those millions of Russian who have died during World War II. Overall the whole place is beautiful in and of itself. And it has an amazing atmosphere you won't forget. The statue is said to be the tallest and most grand female statue in the world. Just standing under it and looking up will give you a sense of how small you are compared to it. All of the statues there and even the cathedral is a beautiful and eye opening place. I would definitely recommend visiting.

Mamayev Kurgan is a hill in Volgograd named after Mamaya, famous Tatar khan who was buried here (Kurgan is a resting place in Tatar). In more recent history this hill (among many other sites around) is famous for one of the most important battles in WWII, which changed the course of it in Europe. There are several things to explore here, and I'll list them here and explain in a separate review. Count on at least 3 hours for a visit. You can reach Mamayev Kurgan in 2 ways, depending if you want a more relaxed or more impressive approach. More impressive is taking a taxi or speed tram that will take you to the hill foot, close to the Volga river, and then climb 200 steps (200 days lasted the battle). Climbing them the statue becomes bigger and bigger and you visit other monuments along the way - reflection pool, huge stone reliefs, Eternal flame and Hall of Glory,....Beware, this requires 200 steps uphill climb plus spaces in between them. More relaxed means taking a taxi which will take you to the top of the hill where's the Motherland Calls statue, seeing it first and then descending downhill and seeing other attractions in the opposite way. The complex is totally free to visit, and I suggest coming in the morning, as the sun is shining at the statue and whole complex then, so you will have better light on your pics. We were late afternoon and the sun was behind the statue.

Nationale herdenking monument in Volgograd. Enorm mooie park en monumenten te zien. Mocht je iets willen leren over meest bloedige moment (Stalingrad aka Volgograd) uit tweede wereld oorlog dan is dit een plek. (Translated by Google) National commemoration monument in Volgograd. Huge beautiful park and monuments to see. If you want to learn something about the bloodiest moment (Stalingrad aka Volgograd) of the Second World War, this is the place.

The whole complex is a must-see open air museum. Historically impressive, visually stunning and very spacious. Easily the best part of Volgograd.

A must see if you go to Volgograd. The main statue is similarly on the level of the Statue of Liberty. This place is a pretty massive memorial complex.

I agree, god bless the Reich and her great hero's of Stalingrad.

Is the best place in Volgograd (Stalingrad) to visit. Huge park with many sights.

A must do when in Volgograd. Must be the number one tourist site. Be prepared to be in awe of the scale. Easily accessible by public transport. Be prepared to walk but all extremely pleasant with refreshment stands all around.

One of the most amazing experiences and the pride that the place has in Russian hearts is amazing!! Worth a visit

I was here in 1998. The statue of Mother Russia is spectacular. There is nothing like it in Britain. Our biggest statue, "The angel of the north", is really disappointing.

A great MUST Visit spot if you ever visited the city of Volgograd in Russia The statue which is considered the biggest female statue in the world is in the center of the area which is full of other statues and other great things to see and have some lovely photos. The spot is advised to be visited near sunset as its a long walk in the sun , and also best to do it to start it from up to down , not the other way round.

The grandiose monument at the top of the Mamayev Kurgan in Volgograd leaves no one indifferent. Locals affectionately call him Mama, but the whole world knows the statue as "Motherland Calls!" She depicts a woman in fluttering clothes, holding a sword raised to the sky in her right hand. Appeal and rage are written on her face, her mouth is distorted with a cry, as if raising 35 thousand soldiers to attack from the memorial cemetery behind her. The creation of the outstanding Soviet sculptor Yevgeny Vuchetich personifies the pain and glory of our people, delighting with strength and dynamism. The statue is a very complex engineering facility, built of pre-stressed reinforced concrete using the same technology as the Ostankino TV tower, its builder N.V. Nikitin supervised the work here as well. The sculpture weighs 8000 tons, its height is 85 m, the 33-meter 14-ton sword is made of fluorinated steel. The interior space is divided into 11 floors connected by stairs. The tension of the 116 steel ropes pulling the statue down from the inside, and the vibration amplitude of the sword, are continuously monitored by sensors.

can we feel the scale of the tragedy and heroism of the Soviet people during the great Patriotic war? Mamaev Kurgan. the larks sing, it's like weeping over the grief of all mothers whose sons and daughters were devoted to their military duty. and it does not matter on which side the soldiers fought. they paid the most valuable-their lives. and let the descendants know, let them feel, let them cry. we thank you for our peace. for what we hear singing lark, for the sun and freedom, for life!

It's very good and elegant place. That show the glory of the Russian soldiers to deffence their country during the second world War. The Russian security are very friendly in their. They always trying to help the tourism and provide them with necessary information

The sculpture is second to none. Being a work of a genius, it evokes a wide range of emotions. Currently is being renovated until April, 2020. But don't be sorry if you find the view a bit obstructed. Its enormous presence is still there. And this is the first time this sculpture is being renovated almost in a century, so consider it an opportunity to see it in a different way

An awesome set of monuments to honor all those who sacrificed their present for our future.. may such situations never happen again..

Amazing statue with nice views over the Wolgadelta. The whole park is designed great. One can only imagine how hard this city got hit during 2nd World war. Wolgograd is worth visiting.

nice outside

(Translated by Google) Everything is very ancient, it seems to be clean, but the Soviet raid is large-scale. Ticket prices are not cheap, economy service. The dome is in particular need of repair. (Original) Очень все древнее, вроде чистенько, но налет СССР масштабный. Цены на билеты не дешевые, сервис эконом. Купол особенно требует ремонта.

(Translated by Google) We were at the premiere of the full-dome program "The Star that Gave Life." They were impressed. Very thoughtful lecture, beautiful and clear video sequence. Both adults and children aged 6, 8, 10 were interested. Special thanks to the lecturer, Kolesnikova O.B., for the chic presentation of the material. The chairs are certainly not the most comfortable. But if you sit in the back rows (from 14-15), then the hour of the lecture passes quite comfortably. I recommend to visit. (Original) Были на премьере полнокупольной программы «Звезда, подарившая жизнь». Остались под впечатлением. Очень продуманная лекция, красивый и понятный видеоряд. И взрослым, и детям 6, 8, 10 лет было интересно. Отдельное спасибо лектору, Колесниковой О.Б., за шикарную подачу материала. Кресла, конечно, не самые удобные. Но если сидеть на дальних рядах (с 14-15го), то час лекции проходит вполне комфортно. Рекомендую к посещению.

(Translated by Google) A very famous landmark of the city. The planetarium was built in 1954, a gift from the workers of the GDR to the Soviet people. The dome of the building is crowned with the sculpture “Peace”, created by sculptor V.I. Mukhina. Monumental and very beautiful, in addition, there was a rather interesting program for 18 hours (Original) Очень известная достопримечательность города. Планетарий был построен в 1954 году, это подарок тружеников ГДР советскому народу. Купол здания венчает скульптура "Мир", созданная скульптором Мухиной В.И. Монументально и очень красиво, кроме того достаточно интересная программа была на 18 часов

(Translated by Google) Having bought a ticket for 400 rubles. , here you can only look through the tube at distant and mysterious stars, but after the planned large-scale reconstruction, everyone will have the opportunity to actually go to any of them, but, of course, you will have to pay a little extra... 🐱 (Original) Купив билет за 400 р. , здесь можно пока только взглянуть в трубу на далёкие и таинственные звезды , но после намеченной масштабной реконструкции, у каждого появится возможность реально отправится к любой из них, ну только, конечно, придётся немного доплатить... 🐱

(Translated by Google) There is a negative point - it’s simply unrealistic to sit for an entire hour with your head up. Even though we had the best seats, these were the last rows, they were filled, but the first 15 (out of 17) were empty. It is clear that there is no funding. But we need to think about comfortable reclining chairs or bean bag chairs, even if there are fewer seats, even if they are more expensive. But not wooden chairs!!!!!!It's just terrible! I don’t want to lower the stars, but the inconvenience spoils the overall impression of the place. (Original) Есть отрицательный моментик-просто нереально сидеть целый час задрав голову наверх.При том, что места у нас были самые хорошие это последние ряды,они и заполнены,а вот первые 15 (из 17) пустые. Понятно,что финансирования нет.Но задуматься надо об удобных откидывающихся креслах или креслах мешках,пусть меньше мест,пусть дороже. Но только не деревянные стулья!!!!!!Это просто ужас! Не хочется снижать звёзды, но неудобства портят общее впечатление о месте.

(Translated by Google) Today my family and I were at the performance, what a great fellow all the artists and everyone who took part were, the live music, the light show, how beautiful and organized everything was. Yes, the planetarium needs sponsorship, that's a fact! But everyone is great, polite, welcoming, friendly. I liked it very much, we recommend it.🤗 (Original) Были сегодня с семьёй на представлении,какие молодцы все артисты и все кто принимал участие,живая музыка,"световое шоу",как все красиво и организованно. Да, планетарий нуждается в спонсорстве это-факт! Но все большие молодцы,вежливые,приветливые,дружелюбные. Очень понравилось ,рекомендуем.🤗

(Translated by Google) We went on the “Stargazer and His Friends” excursion as a family: 2 adults and a 5-year-old child. The child listened and watched, it seemed interesting and liked it. The impression of adults: in principle, everything was good and interesting, but during the demo in the dome they almost started snoring, the voice was too monotonous. The building itself was certainly impressive, the area around it was also well-groomed, everything was clean and decent. Thank you! (Original) Ходили на экскурсию "Звездочет и его друзья" семейно: 2взр.и ребенок 5лет. Ребенок слушал, смотрел, вроде бы было интересно и понравилось. Впечатление взрослых: в принципе все было хорошо и интересно, но во время демо в куполе чуть не захрапели, уж больно монотонный голос читал. Само здание конечно впечатлило, вокруг территория так же ухожена, все чисткнько и прилично. Спасибо!

(Translated by Google) One of the most famous landmarks of the city. It was opened in 1954. The planetarium was a gift from the workers of the German Democratic Republic to the Soviet people on the eve of Stalin's 79th birthday.

(Translated by Google) Today was my second time there, the first was six years ago. So the first time it was much more interesting, the voice of the dictator was clear and knowledgeable, the entire excursion was with open mouths and wide eyes from the very beginning to the very end of the entire excursion. This time we fell under the terrible female voice of the dictator in the star hall, he reads the text without expression, constantly stammers, reads the same line twice. The phrase finished off: “through a mole wave we will exchange aliens with other worlds,” I’ll translate it into Russian - “through the crater hole we will exchange information with other worlds” (Original) Сегодня был в нем второй раз , первый был шесть лет назад . Так в первый раз было гораздо интересней голос диктатора был четкий и знающий текст , вся экскурсия была с открытыми ртами и широко раскрытыми глазами от самого начала до самого конца всей экскурсии . В этот раз попали под ужасный женский голос дикататора в звезном зале , текст читает без вырожения постоянно запинается , по два раза читает одну и туже строчку . Добила фраза : " через кротовую волну будем обмениваться инопланетяноми с другими мирами " , Переведу на русский - " через кратовую нору будем обмениваться информацией с другими мирами "

What do you suggest for traveling to this channel? I live in Iran - Tehran and I would very much like to travel to Russia to watch this channel.

Clean Drinking Water HAHAHAHAHAHAHHA

Its fun to see boats go through

That doof Josef Stallin' made it so i dont liak it

Not clearly mentioned

Nice canal.

(Translated by Google) Excellent embankment. Perhaps the best place for relaxation and walking in the south of Volgograd. I advise all travelers to look at our monument to V.I. Lenin, watch the ships lock and take a walk along our embankment. (Original) Отличная набережная. Пожалуй самое лучшее место для отдыха и прогулок на юге Волгограда. Всем путешественникам советую посмотреть на наш монумент В. И. Ленина, посмотреть как шлюзуются корабли и прогуляться по нашей набережной.

This New Yorker highly recommends this Italian Restaurant. The pizza is fresh and enjoyable (you can't get New York Pizza outside of New York, accept it). The lemonade was awesome on a hot day. The lasagna was good. The service is excellent and the prices are very reasonable.

The ambience was amazing! The service was welcoming and the ushers and waitresses were amazing and very helpful. The food portions are filling and the taste is mouth watering. It exceeded my expectations by miles. The wait time was a little bit long but for the amazing hot tasty mouth watering food, it was worth it. The best part that it doesn't break your bank. The place is quite affordable.

One of the best authentic Italian food I enjoyed outside Italy. Great service, highly recommended.

Reasonably priced Italian food. Had the Diabolo pizza which was nice, was warned it would be spicy but sadly it wasn't. Staff were friendly and did their best to speak English.

We had a little lunch here. We loved it. Good food, friendly service, good advices. They do have a menu in English. Just ask for it.

Great Italian restaurant in Volgograd. Delicious food, fresh seafood, great value and amazing service. Thank you for this exceptional experience!

Werry nice restaurant. Good food on reasonable price. 🙂

This is the nicest KFC I have ever been in. It is large clean and very modern looking. The service is first rate. Everyone was friendly. My food was tasty and I enjoyed my chicken. They have a self-serve soda machine which is rather rare in Russia. I have already eaten here twice and I will eat here again before my vacation ends.

Tacos were pretty good but they cost 39 rubles. Interior just perfect. Super comfy and soft bar chairs set your happiness to 100 points

It's really good place for both Vegiterian and non-vegetarian people. Although there are only few variety of food for vegiterian meal, but for non-vegetarian people they have many more options. It's good for everyone.

Good service, great tasty food. Worth the money you would spend

It's a good place to eat but service is slow.

I like it because there is a spicy food that is not in other similar places.

This place is near a instititute..The peaceful place comparing other KFC's.Good choice with loved one..😍

Meh. Mall Food. Slow service. 🐌 Dull food.

Good

(Translated by Google) For the first time I was with friends at the Scoozi restaurant. I really liked the service, polite staff, they gave me a great mood! The cuisine is varied, there is plenty to choose from. Everything is very delicious! Cozy atmosphere, nice interior. Thank you for a pleasant evening! (Original) Впервые были с друзьями в ресторане Scoozi. Очень понравилось обслуживание, вежливый персонал, подарили отличное настроение! Кухня разнообразная, есть из чего выбрать. Всё очень вкусно! Уютная обстановка, приятный интерьер. Спасибо за приятный вечер!

(Translated by Google) The restaurant is located on the 2nd floor of the World Trade Center. It is the restaurant, because... its huge area and interior leaves a pleasant impression. Prices are above average, speed of service is not the fastest, large staff. MCC 5814. Also an excellent view of the city if you find seats near the panoramic windows. (Original) Ресторан находится на 2-ом этаже ВТЦ. Именно ресторан, т.к. его огромная площадь и интерьер оставляет приятные впечатление. Цены выше средних, скорость обслуживания не самая быстрая, большой персонал. MCC 5814. Также отличный вид на город, если найти места возле панорамных окон.

(Translated by Google) Pleasant and cozy place) Very tasty pizza, excellent salads! delicious desserts and delicious “Taiga Mix” tea🥰 (Original) Приятное и уютное заведение) Очень вкусная пицца, отличные салаты! восхитительные десерты и очень вкусный чай "Таёжный микс"🥰

(Translated by Google) Nice establishment. Burgers, pizza, drinks... Original dishes, including solyanka. Tasty and satisfying. Original interior. Pleasant and friendly staff. It's nice to look out onto the street, thanks to the floor-to-ceiling glazing. Calm, relaxed atmosphere. (Original) Хорошее заведение. Бургеры, пицца, напитки... Оригинальные блюда, в том числе и солянка. Вкусно и сытно. Оригинальный интерьер. Приятный и приветливый персонал. Приятно посмотреть на улицу, благо остекление от пола до потолка. Спокойная, не принужденная обстановка.

(Translated by Google) I went to wait for a friend and have a bite to eat. I liked the service, nice and unobtrusive. Tasty enough, calm. The pizza is not bad, by the way. I also like that it’s quite calm and quiet here, you can take a break from shopping in style (Original) Зашла подождать подругу и перекусить. Обслуживание понравилось, мило, ненавязчиво. Достаточно вкусно, спокойно. Пицца неплохая, кстати. Ещё нравится, что здесь достаточно спокойно и тихо, можно отдохнуть от покупок со вкусом

(Translated by Google) I recommend it to people with good pancreas. I don't recommend it to others. You will poop and pee with sugar syrup. (Original) Людям с хорошей поджелудочной рекомендую. Остальным не советую. Будете какать и писать сахарным сиропом.

(Translated by Google) On Friday morning I went to my favorite place, but the service was simply disappointing. There was a girl working with long, dark hair (no badge). Dissatisfied, the work place was dirty, the tables were dirty. There is no service. It was unpleasant to be there. (Original) В пятницу утром зашла в любимое место, но сервис просто огорчает . Работала девушка , с длинными , темными волосами (без бейджа ). Недовольная, рабочее место было грязное, столы грязные . Сервис отсутствует . Неприятно было находиться.

(Translated by Google) The bread is dry, not fresh, not tasty. (Original) Хлеб сухой, всё не свежее, не вкусно.

(Translated by Google) I love Subway and so far it was in this place that I unexpectedly tried a sub with the most delicious bread! I don’t even know how to convey my feelings, but it was very soft, porous, so “comfortable”. Overall, wonderful. The young man at the checkout was extremely courteous (it seems to me that he said everything exactly according to the scripts, he has probably been working only recently :))). He said to every visitor “have a nice day”, “thank you”, “you’re welcome” and that’s it;) So I’ll be glad if this cute blond guy is praised by management for his excellent work)) (Original) Я обожаю Subway и пока именно в этом месте я неожиданно для себя попробовала саб с самым вкусным хлебом! Я даже не знаю, как передать свои ощущения, но он был очень мягким, пористым, таким "удобным". В общем, замечательным. Молодой человек на кассе был крайне обходительным(мне кажется, он говорил всё в точности по скриптам, наверное, работает совсем недавно:))). Каждому посетителю он говорил "хорошего дня","спасибо", "пожалуйста" и всё всё всё;) Так что буду рада, если этого милого блондина похвалит руководство за отличную работу))

(Translated by Google) Mostly everything is fine. During the day there are few people, the employees are friendly. There are non-critical disadvantages: 1. As in all subways in Russia, they don’t talk about a free portion of cheese. 2. Something is constantly out of stock, either bread or turkey. There are still more advantages (Original) В основном всё хорошо. Днём людей мало, сотрудники приветливые. Есть некритичные минусы: 1. Как и во всех сабвэях в России, не говорят про бесплатную порцию сыра. 2. Постоянно чего-то нет в наличии то хлеба, то индейки. Плюсов все равно больше

(Translated by Google) A typical sub, a recognizable franchise, my daughter and I like to visit subs in different cities, including Volgograd. The subs are delicious, the bread is crispy, the filling corresponds to the description, I recommend it for fast food lovers if you are tired of poppy seeds and KFS))) (Original) Типичный саб, узнаваемая франшиза, нам с дочерью нравится бывать в сабе в разных городах и в Волгограде тоже. Сабы вкусные, хлеб хрустящий, начинка соответствует описанию рекомендую для любителей фаст, если приелся мак и кфс)))

(Translated by Google) During just one visit there was no chicken breast, no teriyaki chicken, no Chinese cabbage, no tomato ketchup available. Apparently, this place does not practice ordering groceries. Disappointing. (Original) За одно только посещение в наличии не было: ни куриной грудки, ни курицы терияки, ни пекинской капусты, ни томатного кетчупа. Видимо, в данном месте не практикуется заказ продуктов. Разочаровало.

(Translated by Google) The sandwiches are delicious, but look at what surfaces the gloves touch from the beginning to the end of cooking. For me, it's better without gloves. (Original) Сэндвичи вкусные, но посмотрите, каких поверхностей касаются перчатки от начала до конца готовки. По мне, так лучше без перчаток.

(Translated by Google) Perfect place! Sellers are always friendly and responsive. The most delicious sandwiches are here! There are sandwiches for every perverted taste. Thank you for being you! (Original) Отличное место! Всегда приветливые продавцы, отзывчивые. Самые вкусные сендвичи здесь! На любой, извращенный, вкус найдутся сендвичи. Спасибо за то, что вы есть!
