Where to stay in Yekaterinburg — pick the right hotel, book in 3 clicks
Yekaterinburg is Russia's fourth-largest city, set in the Ural Mountains that form the dividing line between Europe and Asia.

It is also the most important center of Soviet-era Constructivist architecture, with the Vysotsky skyscraper and its viewpoint, the Iset riverside district, and a main stop on the Trans-Siberian Railway.
