Port Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky

Petropavlovsk, Russia

Port Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, the capital of Kamchatka oblast, is a historic port city on the eastern coast of the Kamchatka Peninsula. Visitors can explore the city's small museum showcasing indigenous and Russian handicrafts, the Orthodox Cathedral, and a monument to Vitus Bering and Alex Chirikof. These explorers established the town in 1740. A must-visit is the Valley of Geysers, offering a stunning panorama of tundra, cliffs, rivers, and the Karymsky Volcano. The Trans-Siberian Railway's completion in the 19th century made Petropavlovsk a key hub for Russian trade with Central Asia.
