Where to stay
For a comfortable stay in Kandalaksha, it is worth considering accommodation in the central part of the town — this is a convenient option for those who value walking distance to shops, cultural sites and transport stops. From here it is easy to plan walks along the historic streets and quickly get to the embankment or museums. If a peaceful holiday in nature is important, pay attention to areas closer to the forests and the coast — silence, fresh air and beautiful views are guaranteed. Those who enjoy active leisure will be interested in the outskirts of the town, from where it is convenient to set out on routes to the surrounding hills or bodies of water.
