Nice hotel, friendly staff, rooms are cleaned perfectly. The breakfast is simply amazing!

I really liked the hotel. Clean, huge rooms, tall doors, Soviet furniture. There is a safe in the room, a silent refrigerator. Helpful staff, champagne and apples at reception. Every morning during breakfast and in the evening a musician comes and plays the harp/piano for an hour or two.

Overall quite a good place for relax. What I liked more was not the room itself, but the corridors and staircases themselves, where you can briefly immerse yourself in the atmosphere of Soviet times. But this is probably the case when expectations still exceeded reality.

Very interesting from a historical point of view + high level of comfort. Everything is very authentic! Wonderful kitchen. Metro nearby. I recommend.

We weren't there long. Arrived late, left early. We just spent the night. But the room is clean, although there is a smell of old furniture, the plumbing is new, the carpet is clean and soft, the linen and towels are clean white. In short, it was nice to sleep)))

Four stars for one socket in the room and a non-working tee. For the rest I advise. Ideal price-quality ratio. And breakfast with a harp is absolutely chic.

The hotel is really in the Soviet style) if you feel comfortable living like in a museum, then this is the place for you. Number of rooms, state of repair - 2. Furniture.-3. Bed-5. Cleanliness/cleaning-5. Breakfast - 4. The atmosphere did not seem very comfortable to me, because you feel like you are in a museum, or in some kind of Soviet Palace of Culture. On long term I wouldn't stay here. But for one or two nights it’s completely possible.

Stayed at this hotel on a business trip. This is the case when we wanted to get a WOW EFFECT and it worked out very well. The atmosphere of the hotel is warm, cozy, Soviet in a good way. The furniture is not stylized, but really antique and in good condition. Electrical and plumbing are modern, comfort has not been canceled. All equipment works. Of course there are small historical chips and abrasions, they...

One of best hotels Moscow. Internal wealth + the famous Yar restaurant. Great rooms, breakfast and service!

A hotel for lovers of the old Soviet style with a modern twist. If you are bored with Hiltons, Hyatts and Ibises, then this is definitely the place for you. Or perhaps you are a retired regional committee chairman.

Cozy, homely, small hotel.

A very cozy place. You can relax and sleep.

Cozy and clean rooms. Polite and helpful staff.

Very worthy for the money. The staff is friendly, the rooms are clean. 3 minutes to the metro. If you need to live in this area, this is one of the best options.

1 / 45 Convenient location

Nice and cozy. Overall good. Of the minuses, I would like to note the poor ventilation of the rooms. I slept in the one with 10 beds. It's good that I was there alone, otherwise I would have suffocated

Price and quality match. And I liked the location

The only thing missing is a stove in the kitchen, which is why it gets 4 out of 5. So the hostel is wonderful, close to the center, convenient to get to the main attractions.

Very nice and pleasant place. Clean rooms and polite staff. I will recommend it to all out-of-town friends who are rushing to the capital for the weekend.

A very good option for an overnight stay))) there is a lounge area with good wi-fi reception. There is no reception in the rooms))) there is a kitchen, microwave, refrigerator. Very friendly administrators)))

I love this hostel. If I come to Moscow, it’s only here)

Excellent kitchen and a place to gather like a living room. Excellent large single beds. Sockets, lamp and cabinet for everyone. Excellent FI, shower and everything is 5 stars. Frequent staff cleaning. Everything is washed. There is a metro, restaurants, snacks nearby

For such a location, the price is very low, a huge plus for budget trips to non-rubber. Cozy, clean. The mattresses, of course, are old and some remember the previous residents, but I repeat, for such a price it’s tolerable. There are no soap shops, but everything can be bought at the entrance. In the hostel you can only wear slippers, they are sold at the entrance. In the VIP rooms, when you turn off the lights, it’s dark, even if you poke your eyes out)...

Clean hostel, good beds, pleasant staff, from the minuses you can hear every rustle, like neighbors talking in the kitchen or watching movies. IN general people I recommend with sound sleep

The rooms are in need of renovation for a long time. It leaks from the roof straight into the toilet. But it's not quite expensive.

Not expensive. The room is clean! Calm and quiet.

Convenient, not expensive. There is parking and breakfast. Transfer to Sheremetyevo 400 rub.

The place is not bad. True, the walls in the rooms are very thin, it was very difficult for us to sleep because of the neighbors. Good double beds, we accommodated our child and wife without any problems. All amenities in the rooms, TV, shower-toilet. The store is nearby, 5-10 minutes walk. The restaurant was not open because it was under renovation. I think the prices for this place should be a little lower. Considering that we were just staying for the night.

(stay on May 16-17, 2018. Standard room 2090 rubles (without breakfast), no change given. For one day) The hotel is no longer new. The hotel is located next to the highway, although there are double-glazed windows on the windows, hence the noise coming from the highway. You can also hear noise from neighboring rooms, noisy neighbors with a child and the sounds of a working TV (poor sound insulation from plasterboard). The corridors are clean but there is a centimeter layer of dust on the chandelier...

Nice hotel, very friendly and helpful staff, they helped with orientation, etc., etc., no problems, the room was clean, no toothbrushes or toothpaste

Hotel for an overnight stay. For the money it's quite worthy. There is a shower, a small TV, a clean bed. Min 15 from Terminal D.

Great cozy little hotel. Nice service. Suitable for one or two nights. The price-quality ratio corresponds.

Very slippery near the hotel. The car barely moves. And you can fall yourself. And so quiet place, polite staff, clean room

Breakfast is available for a fee. There are no disposable shower gels and shampoos. The rest is fine.

Ideal historical appearance of the station.

A great place to taste authentic Central Asian dishes. I am familiar with Central Asian cuisine firsthand, so I can recommend this place to people who want to try real pilaf, manti and other dishes. I can say for sure that the food here is excellent. In terms of service, there are no frills here, this is a real tea house from Central Asia. No pathos, as for example in the vaunted Chaikhona #1. It has its own atmosphere...

The Paveletskaya station is very beautiful! And a handy green branch

Great station, beautiful architecture, long escalators! I love riding them

The most clear in information. You can’t get lost. The best of Moscow stations

Everything is fine. Spacious halls, information is announced clearly and accessible. Purely.

Excellent station, everything is nearby: metro, railway tracks, and bus stations. There are many signs with signs at the station itself, so it will be difficult to get lost.

When my mother-in-law lived in the city of Saratov and often came to us, I often traveled through this station to Paveletsky railway station to meet the mother-in-law, and then quickly escort her home safely.

Moscow (6 km from center) On the map

Cool hotel, 4 stars. We noticed as soon as we arrived, on the day of departure they extended the room free of charge until 14 hours. The staff is friendly, the food is excellent. The room has a gorgeous view of Moscow city. 1.5 km walk to Vorobyovy Gory. Nearby is a park. I recommend.

I recently visited this hotel. Visited Soho spa. I pampered myself with a good relaxing massage, it was pleasant not only for the body, but also for the eyes, since the girl who did it had a presentable model appearance. I was able to relax and truly enjoy myself. The spa is a good level salon, I will definitely return to them

Cozy, beautiful. There is everything to feel good

Luxurious hotel, very comfortable, has everything for convenience!

We were in a restaurant on the 21st floor. The view of Moscow is amazing! Everything is delicious. The service is fast and attentive. Deposit 3000 per person, if the bill is for a smaller amount, change is not given. But you can order it to take away.

Korston can’t even be called a hotel, it’s a whole complex. In the rooms: bidet, beds, telephone, water, safe, shampoos, bathrobes, slippers and much more. I felt like a president. Luxury makes your eyes pop out of your head. IN night club popular artists come, a luxurious buffet, a view... In general, I liked everything!!!

I visited Korston Club several times as part of the affiliate program. For two years in a row I went with my son to New Year’s performances. Entertainment center perfectly thought out, from welcoming guests to decorating the premises. A huge automated wardrobe, a spacious hall with mirrors, clean toilets. The parking lot is small, but I have never seen it fully loaded. From the metro the road goes...

Renovated Soviet hotel "Orlyonok". Those who went to the Artek and Orlyonok camps during the Soviet era should remember it well. The rooms are relatively small but cozy. As in all hotels of the Korston system, the beds are very comfortable. From the windows of the odd numbered rooms there is a stunning view of the city. Right in front of you is the Luzhniki sports complex, Moscow City and all the other splendor. Wi-fi works at a decent speed...

I was not in the hotel itself, but at the end, receiving an ISIK (international student card). About the hotel I can say that everything is grand, clean and beautiful. In the parking lot, which is large and nice, there are many buses with tourists from different nations of the world. It's nice here and there's a park nearby.

dirty cobwebs in the corners in front of the entrance to the large hall. The hand dryer in the toilet does not work and there are no paper towels. Most of the service personnel are from the Asian region.

Great hotel! Clean, homely!

Overall it's fun. I was just visiting friends here. But it looks comfortable, cozy and clean. Security is downstairs. Only the area, of course, is complete bullshit. Who is not too lazy to take an hour to the center by metro and then an hour back - welcome. And by car, just forget it... the view from the window is appropriate - pipes, smoke, thick roads...

Very nice and quiet hotel. Residential house. Kitchen, etc. Cool!! OK

Great aparthotel. It's clean, everything is there. We stayed with children twice. No regrets.

Near the metro, quiet and peaceful, there is a kitchen where you can cook food, they clean and wash dishes in the room every day, polite and friendly staff.

Close to the metro, near a park, security of the territory?

Very nice and quiet hotel. Residential house. Kitchen, etc. Cool!!

Everything is fine. The hotel is in a built-up building. in which not all apartments have been rented yet. A full kitchen and a bedroom.

A cozy place in the center of Moscow. Everything is nearby, metro, infrastructure, shops, cafes.

Good, no expensive hotel in the center

Close to the metro and good breakfast. Everything else is for those who like “Spartan” conditions and who just need to spend the night.

Nice hotel in an old historical building, high ceilings, large windows. From Baumanskaya metro station - 2 steps. Not expensive, breakfast is ok. There was no desk in the room(

Very cozy, quiet and peaceful. 10 of 10

Not bad. Right next to the metro. Tomorrow - porridge, eggs, sandwiches, cottage cheese. Nourishing but no frills. Intending for 4. I advise

Former home of pilgrims. The interior is harsh. But everything is made from natural materials. The most important thing is your own parking. Free in the center of Moscow if you live there.

Quiet. There is a 24-hour store nearby. Baumanskaya metro station is just around the corner. The staff is polite. Overall I liked it.

Excellent hotel, everything corresponds to the description on the website. All liked it.

A great place for a picnic, everything is green, peace and quiet.

Calm, quiet, homely atmosphere

Dry Soviet approach. Service as a concept is missing

The atmosphere of the USSR, the room has a balcony overlooking the pine trees, the air is pleasant. As it is, everything is a little old, but anyone who likes polish doesn’t come here. But for me, this should remain for the assortment.

Old hotel, junior suite and deluxe are in need of renovation, but it has its own charm and the beds are comfortable. We were a group, everyone liked it except me) I like it more expensive)

I liked it very much! Cozy location, nice room, friendly service!

The hotel is clean, but in a Soviet style. Not very friendly madam at the reception

Beautiful and pleasant area. Clean air, relatively quiet. There is a sauna, a good dining room, the rooms are different and comfortable. There are various shops, parks and a pond nearby. The price tag is too high.

I actually saw a moose. We put a spinner on his horn and vaped it....

Everything is fine, perfect place for a summer picnic. But tall buildings nearby spoil the privacy.

I liked the hotel. Good number. Breakfast is a buffet, not very varied, but everything you need is there.

Cozy, quiet and excellent restaurant on the ground floor

A very good hotel, considering that it doesn’t even have stars. I arrived tired at 8 am and were allowed to sleep for free in another room while mine was being cleaned. On the day of departure, I completely forgot that I needed to pick up my things in the morning and came only in the evening. Everything was in place, neatly folded. Which shows respect for visitors. I recommend to everyone!

A good combination of hotel and restaurant.

Moscow (2 km from center) On the map

All entrance doors open automatically, which was very surprising when I tried to open them myself. Sometimes they work with a delay. There is free tea (bags) and coffee (from the machine) in the lobby. My room was on the 8th floor, very warm. There is a cooler with hot and cold water in the hallway. A bottle of water was provided in the room on the first day. There is no kettle. There was a robe, which was nice. Otherwise everything is the same as everywhere else. Very clean

The staff is friendly and helpful, the rooms are clean, the room is cleaned every day, the only thing is that the breakfast is not the best, but there is a choice

This place is now associated with my first, incomparable, unforgettable, mind-blowing experience. This place will now remain in my memory for the rest of my life. I just can’t find words to describe my emotions. I can only test and tease them. Now I'm a different person.

It is normal if the payment for placement is at the expense of the employer. Breakfast is a buffet. Coffee is free on the first floor. Bottles of water only upon arrival, then a cooler on the floor. For 3 days, only the bathroom and garbage were cleaned every day. The cups were not washed. At my own expense, I would look for other more interesting options. The location is good. It's quiet outside.

Cosy multi-story hotel in the center of Moscow in the area of ​​Sakharov Avenue, Krasnye Vorota metro station and Kazansky railway station. The rooms have everything you need for your stay. Good selection in the restaurant for buffet breakfast. The rooms have modern furniture and plumbing. There is free tea, coffee beans and water in the lobby. Electronic locks. High safety and comfort. The surrounding streets are quiet and clean. Staff...

The hotel is very decent. Clean, comfortable. Good breakfast. Good location.

For 3 stars it’s not even bad, convenient, quiet, close to the metro, again the center of Moscow.... in general I recommend...

Responsiveness and politeness at a high level. Overall this is the best for the money.

Great, I liked everything. The staff is polite and attentive. Breakfast is good, buffet style. Before leaving the hotel at night, we prepared boxes with food, because... You're already absent from breakfast.

Excellent cozy hotel. The rooms are clean. The room has everything you need. Breakfast is quite varied. The staff is responsive and friendly. I have been to this hotel several times already and I will return to it, I think, more than once. Very convenient location, close to the metro, cafes, restaurants and shops.

Moscow (10 km from center) On the map

Perfect place. Not far from the metro. Clean rooms. Not a bad renovation and quite cozy. The room has a huge window, it's very cool. But, unfortunately, the window sills are very narrow, so you can’t sit with a book or a cup of coffee, although you’d really like to? We lived on the 26th floor. The view is simply amazing. In the evening the fireworks began. He was so close, was it very beautiful?

WiFi practically didn’t work (probably the hotel was crowded), it was cleaned once for 2 nights. The window sash did not fit tightly, the room was fresh in winter... Good transport accessibility near the metro. Good buffet (breakfast). Nice view from the window

For business trips, as a business hotel - ok. But in the heat and just in the summer - take a room with air conditioning. The heated towel rail in the shower heats up terribly, opening the window doesn’t help much, and it’s noisy. Pros: - good wi-fi, - water coolers (cooler/heater with a bottle placed on it drinking water) and ironing rooms on the floor, - beautiful view to the Izmailovsky Forest Park or towards...

Great hotel! We've been staying there for many years. There was an incident once. During the cold weather in February, the heating was turned up to 30° in the room. It was unbearably hot. Our requests to lower the temperature were rejected. Because one of the tourists was frozen.

Nice hotel. In my case, the number was good, there is something to get to the bottom of, but these are not critical jambs at all. From a relatively unpleasant point: when the door in the next room is opened, out of habit, it seems that they are opening your room, but otherwise you can’t hear the one next to you. Once in the corridor there was a smell of either garbage or something, but it was corrected. You can't smoke, you have to go outside. Who is a plus and who is a minus...

I had a chance to visit both Delta and Beta. The difference is of course colossal. Well, the cost varies accordingly. Beta economy class. And that says it all... Delta is a higher class. Of course it's nice to be there. And bottled water, and bedtime service➕, and in general... You feel like a “white” person... The only negative is the reception? they barely move.... And queues are created.... Mama Mia... And even...

In principle, everything is simple, all the minimum is there with the exception of a split system. However, I personally expected much more from such an ambitious establishment. The price is not adequate to the offer. All the disadvantages are completely negated by the location; transport accessibility is simply amazing. It’s easy to get there by any type and method of transport, well, with the exception of an airplane, perhaps. You can find it cheaper or better for the same...

Simple, clean hotel. Towels are changed every day. Gel and shampoo are also replenished daily. Room cleaning daily. On the floor there is a cooler with cold and hot water. The room has air conditioning, TV, refrigerator. On the ground floor there is a dining room, a buffet, modest, but you can eat. The cost of breakfast, lunch and dinner is 650 rubles/person. Luggage storage: one place per day only 100 rubles. We checked in at 12...

I really liked this hotel. The rooms are clean and spacious. There is everything you need for a comfortable stay. TV, refrigerator, hairdryer. Ironing room on the floor. I really liked the breakfasts. Large buffet. Next time I'll try dinners :)

"Fiefdom of the trade unions." The complex consists of 5 hotels and concert hall. Despite its size, the complex is functional, fits well into the surroundings and does not spoil the landscape. From an architectural point of view, it is a landmark of Moscow. Hotels for every budget, from budget “beta” to indecency “alpha”, but services early booking allow you to save a lot (Internet). There are also restaurants for guests...

Excellent location Good value for money

Good place for the money. The location is simply wonderful, quiet center, clean air, everything is nearby.

Decent hotel for reasonable price in the center near the metro

Great location. Very convenient, 20 minutes walk to Red Square. Very friendly staff, pets are free.

Stayed one night. The location is great: we had tickets for a concert in Zaryadye - 15 minutes at a leisurely pace. The hotel itself is modest, calm, budget. Linen and towels are clean, not washed. There is a kettle and a refrigerator. Everyone is happy.

Nice hotel, clean, tidy rooms. Refrigerator, hairdryer, everything is there. The attractions are just a stone's throw away. No complaints.

We moved from this hotel to another. Because the lack of any sound insulation did not allow me to sleep. The words of the TV presenter could be clearly heard from the working TV in the next room. How water is drained. Etc. However, the staff is aware of this problem, and for the day we did not stay, they returned the money. There are no windows in the rooms on the 1st floor either. Physically they are there, you can open them, but behind them there is a canopy and nothing is visible. In the bathroom...

Overall, very good. But at 8.00 the lights went out in the room. It’s good that I at least washed myself by this time)

Nice, clean rooms, tiny, but with new furniture, everything you need and a good shower. We were with a group of children, they refused to check in without a power of attorney for children without accompanying parents, no one warned in advance about the need for this document. Check-in lasted until 16-00, we sat on suitcases in the lobby for too long, for which I give only 3 stars. I think the hotel is not bad, but if you are on vacation...

Good hotel. I stay here often Lately. I'm flying in for work. It fully corresponds to the stated characteristics. The staff is friendly, and in general everyone is friendly. The room is very small, but cozy. As a wish, probably a small shoe horn in the room - I'm tired of carrying my own, and sometimes I forget. In general, everything is not bad. Relatively close to the metro, but easier to use a taxi. There is a moment...

Very good. Purely. Quiet. Hospitably. We got some sleep. Convenient location. We'll come again.

Small room, no wardrobe, no refrigerator, inconvenient location of the tap in the sink (small, you have to press your hands almost to the sink), the touch buttons for turning on the light do not respond well to pressing (located above the bed). Poor thermal insulation of the glass unit (it blows cold at a temperature of 0 degrees outside the window). But the room is clean and in good repair.

In the age of the Internet, everyone can get the information they need without leaving home. Thanks to this, some people can find out from others how they live in other cities, read statistics on housing and food prices in different regions of the country. By analyzing this information, people can seriously think about moving and determine for themselves where it is better to live in Russia. Moreover, everyone will have their own selection criteria. Let's consider the advantages of different cities of the country from the point of view of different categories of citizens.

Favorable cities for relocation

1. What is the average salary level for people in the region?
2. How developed is the city's infrastructure and amenities?
3. Is it heavily polluted? environment cities.
4. What is the quality of medical care and education in the region.

If we take into account all these factors, then the leading cities stand out where it is good to live in Russia, according to the majority. The top 5 such cities are below.

1. Krasnodar.
2. Moscow.
3. Kazan.
4. Saint Petersburg.
5. Tyumen.

Families with children and pensioners want to live in Krasnodar because it is warm and close to the sea, they go to Moscow and Tyumen to work, Kazan is loved for its cleanliness and amenities, St. Petersburg is preferred by lovers of architecture and art.

Regions of the Russian Federation participating in the resettlement program

While our compatriots are thinking about which city to move to to live in Russia, a special resettlement program is provided for foreign citizens who are native speakers of Russian. Under it, foreigners can receive a Russian passport and assistance for moving in the form of lifting aids, provided they live in one of the less populated regions of the country. These regions received priority status for resettlement:

• Far East;
• Kamchatka;
• Amur and Khabarovsk territories;
• Buryatia;
• Sakhalin.

Sochi

The city of Sochi with its subtropical climate is known throughout Russia as the most popular resort. Everyone who vacations here involuntarily thinks about how wonderful it would be to move here from their city for permanent residence. The gentle climate of Sochi is due to good location: The Caucasus Range protects the city from sudden temperature changes. Warm weather prevails here more than 200 days a year. There is no sweltering heat in summer, and winter is mild and frost-free. Resort town very handsome. There are palm trees, gorgeous flower beds, fountains, and amusement parks everywhere. The following factors oppose moving to Sochi:

• work in the city is seasonal, there is practically no work in winter, there is no industry;
• exorbitant prices for goods and services;
• very expensive housing to buy or rent.

Therefore, just like that, right off the bat, it will be difficult to move and “survive” in Sochi. This city is suitable for those who have a remote source of income, for example, a profitable business in their previous city of residence.

Where is the available property?

Another important factor that is useful to consider when people think about how to choose a city to move to is the availability of a square meter of residential real estate. Moving is always associated with the sale of housing in the previous city of residence and the purchase of living space in a new city. The following rules apply here.

1. Proximity to the center: Moscow and the Moscow region have the most expensive housing. The further away, the cheaper.
2. City size: the larger the city, the more jobs there are, which means more expensive real estate.
3. Proximity to resort area: buy your own home within popular resorts- quite expensive.

Based on statistics for the 4th quarter of 2018, the cost per square meter of housing in different regions of the country is presented in the table.

There is another important criterion for choosing a region of residence - the cost of the shopping basket. This includes a basic set of goods and services. According to this criterion, the cheapest place to live is in the Kursk, Lipetsk, Saratov or Belgorod regions.

Big cities

Those who are thinking about where to move to live in Russia to earn money make their choice in favor of major cities. The first on the list, of course, are Moscow and St. Petersburg, but besides them, there are several other cities where you can find work with a high salary.

Moscow

The Russian capital rightfully occupies a leading position in the top cities for moving. Almost all of it is concentrated here thanks to the endless stream of citizens from neighboring countries coming for work. According to official data alone, the population of Moscow now numbers more than 12 million people.

The main advantage of the capital region, which attracts thousands of provincials and guests from other countries to this city, is a large number of jobs with decent pay. People with very different qualifications, with and without work experience, with higher education and without it, they will be able to find a well-paid job in Moscow.

However, there is another side to the coin - life in the city is very expensive. Starting from the cost of housing (a one-room apartment, even in the Moscow region, can no longer be found for less than 2 million rubles, and rental apartment costs within the minimum wage in the city - 30 thousand rubles) and ending with expensive travel and food, all this takes up a significant part of earnings. In addition to the high cost, there are also traffic jams, so city residents spend a lot of their time traveling from work and back.

It is worth adding here the poor ecology, which makes the capital city not the most suitable place for families with small children to live. Despite this, foreigners flock to Moscow every year, for whom the main thing is to work with permanent residence in Russia. There are also many students here - the city is home to the most prestigious universities in the country, such as Moscow State University, MGIMO, VGIK, etc. The bustle in the city never ceases, so life here is not suitable for everyone.

Saint Petersburg

northern capital, Russian Venice, cultural capital, “metropolis for the soul”, city of rains - all these names are assigned to St. Petersburg and characterize its features. There are 2 times fewer people living in the city than in Moscow (slightly more than 5 million), and the average monthly income here is lower (40 thousand rubles). But many people still come to this city for permanent residence. Some people are attracted by the beauty of St. Petersburg: palaces, canals, fountains, drawbridges, squares. Some people value this city more for the abundance of the most prestigious educational institutions, including military universities famous throughout the country.

St. Petersburg does not have the bustle of Moscow; life in the city is always calm and measured. The same features are characteristic of the mentality of St. Petersburg residents. People of a special poetic nature, who are not afraid of always rainy weather, will find this city the most suitable place for themselves. Well, if life in the city is not to someone’s taste, let’s consider a few more places where to move from St. Petersburg to live in Russia.

Ekaterinburg

Yekaterinburg is a city with a population of one million, which is called the “capital of the Urals”. Fine developed industry and the service market in Yekaterinburg, which is not inferior to it in development, makes it as easy as possible for people to find a job. People of various specialties will be able to find work here without any problems, and the average salary level is very pleasing - 35-40 thousand rubles per month. Despite the fact that Yekaterinburg has the status of a million-plus population, housing prices here are very affordable. The level of medicine and education in the city is also at a high level.

Krasnodar

It is among the top most popular cities to move to. Every year thousands of new residents buy housing here, despite this their number has not yet reached a million, but fluctuates between 800-900 thousand, while Krasnodar residents do not complain about the bustle of the city. Immigrants are attracted here by the mild climate southern city, good ecology due to the absence of large industrial enterprises, land fertility and abundance of crops, long warm summers. Excellent conditions have been created here for developing your own business, and the average salary exceeds 30 thousand rubles. Most Russians choose Krasnodar because of its proximity to the sea coast, which can be reached from the city within a couple of hours’ drive.

Tyumen

It is one of the best Russian cities with a high standard of living, so many people dream of moving here to earn money. The city is located in Western Siberia, the population is more than 700 thousand people. Every tenth Tyumen resident is employed in the oil and gas sector, which is very developed here. Hence the highest salaries, which even exceed those in Moscow.

The average monthly income in the city exceeds 40 thousand rubles, but even ordinary engineers and other highly qualified personnel receive over 100 thousand. A wealthy region can afford to invest in infrastructure development, housing and communal services, city improvement and social projects, so this is all at the highest level.

Kaliningrad

This Russian city is known for its unique geographical location. Being part of Russia, it is located far from it, in the central part of Europe on the Baltic coast. The economy here is well developed - thanks to oil production, the largest amber deposit and shipbuilding.

Therefore, there will be no problems with finding employment and receiving a decent salary. The city is famous rich history. European influence is also felt here. Kaliningrad is multinational, since representatives of many nationalities live in the city.

The beauty of Swiss Geneva is not only and not so much associated with stunning nature and mild climate, so many with incredible architectural monuments. One of them can rightfully be considered the mid-last century hotel InterContinental Genève, to which the prefix “most” is quite applicable, because it houses:

• The largest and tallest suite in Geneva is the Residence.

The room's windows offer breathtaking panoramic views of the city, Mont Blanc and the surrounding area. Each room is furnished with artifacts from the collection Ottoman Empire George Smith, as well as modern classics from Meridiani, Minotti, Baxter and Philippe Hurel. The dining table sparkles with Christofle silver cutlery and Bernardaud china.

• The largest outdoor swimming pool.

The hotel's pool is a whopping 20 meters long and just steps away is the Poolside Restaurant, serving fresh and modern Mediterranean cuisine. It’s especially pleasant to be here in the evening: the setting sun makes the water in the pool sparkle, the bar and its terrace-living room come to life, and the bartenders open a cocktail menu full of surprises. On the terrace-living room, hotel guests have the opportunity to try excellent vintage cigars or hookahs with original flavors.

The hotel also houses the Woods restaurant, certified as an "Ambassadeur du Terroir Genevois" (ambassador of local organic products) and bearing the "Fait Maison" (home-made) label. All these insignia allow you to immerse yourself in the local atmosphere and truly get acquainted with traditional cuisine and the peculiarities of cooking.

By the way, during the summer season InterContinental Genève offers a special package for family vacation, which will especially appeal to the youngest customers. Guests staying in a Family Room will receive a children's playroom, one ice cream or drink per day per child, a welcome gift for children under 10 years of age, a free daily children's movie, access to the outdoor pool and fitness center, sauna. and hammam, free Mercedes Viano limousine transfer to the lake, electric bike and Segway rentals, and children's exploration activities around the hotel.

If this doesn’t seem enough, hotel guests can rent a sailboat or motorboat for a walk around the Lake Geneva, as well as master water sports such as wakeboarding, surfing, windsurfing, and water skiing. And with the InterContinental Run&Go app, runners can combine business with pleasure: run along one of four routes and listen to information about attractions along the way. In addition, the hotel offers a wide range of activities within a 15-minute walk: tennis, squash, padel tennis, fitness center, indoor pool, golf and spa.

The city offers no less entertainment. Firstly, all summer (until the second of September) a Ferris wheel operates here, from the booths of which a panoramic view of Geneva opens. On August 11, a grandiose 45-minute fireworks display will take place in the very center of the city, which will enchant both children and their parents. Wine gourmets and sports enthusiasts will appreciate the Jura to Mont Blanc tour on an electric bike, and you can admire the city from the water from a boat. Imagine: you, your friends and your personal skipper on a sailing or motor boat, where your group can enjoy authentic Swiss dishes and wines. For an hour and a half you will have a unique walk along the lake, a magnificent view of the roadstead and the famous Jet Deux fountain. The excursion menu includes smoked fillets of Genevan ferra fish, Etiva cheese from the canton of Vaud and cured meats from the canton of Valais, and that's not all: each dish is accompanied by a specially selected wine from the same canton.

I am often asked the question of where is the best place to stay in Palermo. In order for your acquaintance with the city not to disappoint, you need to approach this issue very seriously! Choosing a hotel or apartment in the right location is the key to being in a good mood on vacation. But the fact is that everyone has their own ideas about the correct places. Therefore, I will refrain from giving advice; I’d rather describe to you the main areas of the city.

Сentro historico

The historical center of the city is called Centro storico. It is quite small, but this is where most hotels, b&b, hostels, and apartments are located. For many centuries it has been customary to divide it into four quarters:

• Kalsa(Kalsa);
• Albergería(Albergheria);
• Vuccheria(Vucceria) or La Loggia(La Logia);
• Capo(Capo).

All these quarters are very different, but their connecting link (that is, the center) is Quatro Canti, the official name of the square 4 of the Four Corners is piazza Villena, but I have never heard anyone call it that.

The map below shows the approximate boundaries of the four districts for clarity.

Kalsa

Let's start with Kalsa. When you leave the station building, you will find yourself there. As in any major cities, proximity to the station has its pros and cons. From the station, whether by train or bus, you can easily reach the towns you need in the vicinity of Palermo. And it will certainly be easy for you to get to any point in the city, including the airport. Another good thing about this area is the concentration of all the riches of Palermo. Churches, palaces, parks, squares, restaurants - there is everything here in abundance.

The disadvantages are obvious: petty crime hangs around the station, as in all major cities. But this applies specifically to the streets close to the station, and not to the entire area.

And there are a lot of offers for renting apartments. I don’t know about you, but I love staying in apartments in large cities. It helps me feel the atmosphere better, become a local for a few days or weeks. You can view accommodation options from private owners and compare prices on any reliable resource. There are also many hotels, mostly in the mid-price category (from 50 EUR per night).

Albergeria

To the left of the station, west of Kals, is the Albergheria quarter. Here are the largest and noisiest market in Palermo - Ballarò and the Norman Palace with the Palatine Chapel. This is the kind of city it is - palaces and bazaars!

I would call this area a place of modest apartments. The prices are low, you can easily find them a good option for 30–35 EUR. Walking distance to an excellent market and your own kitchen is, you see, a successful combination.

Il Capo

A quarter named after another famous market. Capo is the oldest bazaar in Palermo and, perhaps, the most cozy.

Another pride of the residents of il Capo is the Massimo Theater. On my own behalf, I’ll add that the best places for an aperitif and an evening hangout are also here. As well as a large selection good hotels and apartments (from the middle price segment to luxury, 150 EUR per room).

Vucceria or La Loggia

This same area is often called Vuccheria by locals (again, after the name of the market). Once upon a time Vucceria was the busiest place in the city, but those days are long gone. The bazaar is alive, but not particularly cheerful. The desolation in these quarters is terrible. But in the evenings, food stalls open in place of the market, which remind me of Bangkok. Not the food, of course, but the atmosphere.

Another name for the area is Mandamento di Castellammare, Castallemare. The tourist port of Palermo is located in the marine part of the quarter. And the proximity of the port, as well as the station, leaves its mark: traffic jams, noise, a lot of garbage, strange-looking citizens, prostitutes.

Don't get me wrong, the area is as safe as the rest of downtown. But he's too colorful. Personally, I really enjoy walking around La Loggia, but I wouldn’t want to live here. There are not many hotels in the area, and cheap apartments from 20 EUR per night are not a problem to find. B&B met from 30 EUR.

Сentro moderno

The modern center is divided into two completely different quarters

• Via liberta;
• Borgo Vecchio.

Via Liberta

The modern center is the area north of the Teatro Massimo, along the streets via Ruggero Settimo and via Liberta. It's beautiful, clean, and has a lot of good shops. This is one of the most prestigious and expensive areas to live in Palermo. There are many good hotels in the area starting from 50 EUR.

Borgo Vecchio

The name of the area translates as " Old village" This was once an agricultural area near the city walls. Now it has turned into one of the most colorful urban quarters of the city.

Nothing in common with the elegant Via Liberta. the main street block leads to the commercial port, and crazy street art decorates the peeling houses. I get the feeling there that it is still deep on the outskirts, although for many years Borgo Vecchio has been one of the areas of the modern center of Palermo. There are a lot of inexpensive B&Bs and apartments in the area. Housing prices start from 30 EUR.

Stadio Renzo Barbera

Located next to Cento moderno is a modern area with good infrastructure and a convenient location. No longer the center, but not yet the outskirts. A stone's throw away is Via Liberta, which offers good shopping. In addition, it is very convenient to get from this area to both historical center, and to Mondello. Unlike older areas, there is plenty of parking here. There is a stadium nearby, and the area is named after it. So if you want to watch football matches with some Southern passion, there's no better place to live. Accommodation prices here start from 45 EUR.

Mondello

Although this area is officially part of the city limits of Palermo, local residents They consider it a suburb.

Mondello is a prestigious countryside area with an excellent beach and villas in the early 20th century Art Nouveau style. The center can be reached in 20–30 minutes from here. The choice of accommodation in Mondello is huge - from cheap hostels to very expensive hotels, from modest apartments to luxurious villas with a private pool. Here I wrote in more detail.
