Yekaterinburg Day Trips, Attractions Tickets

Yekaterinburg was founded as a factory-fort in 1723 as part of Peter the Great’s push to exploit the Ural region’s mineral riches. The city was named after two Yekaterinas: Peter’s wife (later Empress Catherine I), and the Russian patron saint of mining. Yekaterinburg is most famous as the place where the Bolsheviks murdered Tsar Nicholas II and his family in July 1918. Six years later, the town was renamed Sverdlovsk, after Yakov Sverdlov, a leading Bolshevik who was Vladimir Lenin’s right-hand man until he died of the flu epidemic in 1919. In 1991 Yekaterinburg took back its original name. Some top sights in Yekaterinburg include; Church on Blood in Honour of All Saints Resplendent in the Russian Land, Ganina Yama, Ekaterinburg Central Park of Culture and Recreation named after V.V. Mayakovsky, Monument to a Keyboard, Shartash, Akvapark “Limpopo”, and more.
