Samara Russian Federation

Samara is the sixth largest city in Russia and capital of an eponymous region, and lies on the Volga River in European Russia. It is a major economic, industrial and cultural center. Samara's beaches are perhaps the city's biggest attraction. Traversing the full length of the beaches via the waterfront esplanade makes for a lovely stroll. Along the way you will come across many stalls selling souvenirs and other goods, numerous summer cafes boasting cheap beer and food and some of Samara's most famous sights including the Zhigulevsky Brewery, Iversky Monastery and the Monument of Glory. The St George Cathedral was built in 2001 under the guidance of architect Yury Kharitinov in honor of the older and larger incarnation that was destroyed during the Communist era. The church looks a lot like a miniature version of Moscow's Christ the Savior Cathedral. The Monument of Glory is considered the 'symbol of Samara', the statue was built in honor of Samara's aviation workers during the Second World War, and is one of the most important monuments of this city.
