Main landmarks for your trip

Among the region’s main landmarks are the city of Salekhard, located on the Arctic Circle, as well as Labytnangi, where the route to the mysterious expanses of the tundra begins. Do not miss the chance to visit Priuralye with its unique nature and distinctive culture of the indigenous peoples. Travellers will also find it useful to know about the transport interchanges in Novy Urengoy and Nadym — these are important points for planning a route through the northern latitudes.

What to see in the region

The region is famous for its unique natural landscapes: here you can see majestic northern rivers, picturesque lakes, and the boundless expanses of the Arctic tundra.

Ethnographic exhibitions are of particular interest, revealing the rich heritage of the peoples of the Far North. Eco-routes invite you to explore untouched corners of nature, while dishes made from fresh fish and wild plants provide memorable gastronomic experiences.

Where to eat well

Try dishes made with muksun, nelma, and whitefish — the freshest fish is held in very high regard here. Venues range from modern cafes with signature cuisine to cosy chums, where they serve the gifts of the northern forests — berries, mushrooms, and venison. Restaurants with authentic menus hold a special place, where you can discover the culinary traditions of the peoples of the North. Menus often feature open-fire dishes and original appetisers made from wild plants. For those wishing to sample national treats, there are options both for a quick snack and for an unhurried dinner in a warm atmosphere.
