This city's historic architecture, museums, rich culinary and cultural offerings remind many visitors of Western Europe's great cities. Cafes on tree-shaded sidewalks beckon during the day; the world-famous circus and theaters welcome visitors during the evenings, and nights are energized by the city's many nightclubs.
You won't want to miss the Khabarovsk Art Museum and the Regional Lore Museum, located a short stroll from each other in the city's historic center.

On hot summer days, join the locals on the promenade, parks and beaches that line the Amur, or take a relaxing river cruise.
In the summer of 2014, the magnificent city of Khabarovsk will once again be just a few short flights from Anchorage via Yakutia Airlines. Consider spending a week in this bustling city, or spend a few days here before an exciting train journey to Vladivostok or Irkutsk.
