The southern cities of Russia have always been crowded and lively, especially during the summer holidays. Today, much attention is paid to the development of domestic tourism, so there are more and more people who want to visit the beautiful sunny cities of our country. Those who have never been to the resorts of the Caucasus are beginning to wonder where Stavropol or Mineralnye Vody is located. Here is a brief itinerary information for the Stavropol Territory.
Where is Stavropol? In which country?
Stavropol is the capital of the Stavropol Territory, which is located in the North Caucasian Federal District of the Russian Federation. The geographic coordinates of Stavropol are 45°2' north latitude, 41°58' east longitude.
It is located on the Stavropol Upland between the Azov and Caspian Seas. From the west and north, the Stavropol Territory, where Stavropol is located, borders on the Krasnodar Territory and the Republic of Kalmykia, from the south - on the Karachay-Cherkess and Kabardino-Balkarian Republics. The Stavropol Upland is surrounded by the Kuban-Azov lowland, the Kuma-Manych depression and the Greater Caucasus Range.
How to get to Stavropol?
Transport links with Stavropol are relatively well established,as it is located away from the main railway line and air routes.
The main passenger traffic in the region where Stavropol is located runs south along the Armavir-Nevinnomyssk-Kislovodsk-Nalchik railway line, so if you go to Stavropol from Moscow or St. Petersburg, more trains will be in the direction of Kislovodsk or Nalchik.
There is an airport in Stavropol, so you can get to it by plane, but only from Moscow, so if there are no direct flights, you can look for a flight to Mineralnye Vody International Airport. You can get from the airport to Stavropol, which is 180 km away, by a regular bus from the bus station of Mineralnye Vody.
International flights from Turkey are also carried out to Stavropol airport. If you fly from another country, then in any case you will have to look for flights to Mineralnye Vody or Moscow.
Bus service in the Stavropol Territory and neighboring republics is very well established. You can leave in any direction on almost any day of the week. There are 4 bus stations in Stavropol: Central bus station, Northern, Southern and Eastern bus stations, and arrival at a certain station depends on the direction of the route. In any case, all bus stations are located within the city, and city routes also have a high capacity.
It is more difficult to decide on the departure from Stavropol, if you are not familiar with the geography of the region, however, at any station, the help desk will give detailed information,from where you should leave on a certain route. It is useful to know that the peripheral bus stations - North, South and East - are not round-the-clock, and you need to inquire about their working hours in advance.
