Discover Pervouralsk – Find Hotels

Pervouralsk offers several distinct points of interest to help you plan your trip: the “Europe–Asia” tourist route, a cultural center to visit, as well as museums and an obelisk complex. This lets you choose how to explore the city based on your interest in routes, industrial history or art.

Routes and orientation in Pervouralsk

Pervouralsk is included in the inclusive “Europe–Asia” tourist route between Yekaterinburg and Pervouralsk. Before your trip, check the route’s current itinerary. To help you find your way around, the tourist information center provides free information about events, tourist routes and attractions, as well as accommodation in Pervouralsk and throughout Sverdlovsk Oblast. The center brings together information that may be relevant to different kinds of travel plans.

A visitor attraction with designated areas

The Innovation and Cultural Center is a visitor attraction on the “Europe–Asia” route. It has specially designated areas and rooms for wheelchair users and people with visual or hearing impairments. If this information is important for your plans, check the current access arrangements before your trip.

Museums spanning factory history and Ural industrial heritage

At the Museum of the History of the Pervouralsk Pipe Plant, five exhibition halls cover different stages in the plant’s history; another hall is devoted to contemporary art. The plant’s employees, contemporary Ural artists, photographers and craftspeople exhibit their collections there. The layout gives the visit two distinct themes: the plant’s history and contemporary artistic work. If you’re interested in both, you can take these themes into account when planning a museum visit.

The Museum of Mining and Industrial Civilization offers an interactive exploration of the history of Ural industry. This gives it a different focus from the halls devoted to the pipe plant’s history and contemporary art: here, the industrial history of the Urals takes center stage. Check the current access requirements in advance if you would like to include this visit in your plans.

Obelisk and geographic marker

The “Europe–Asia Obelisk” complex opened in 2008 at the foot of Mount Berezovaya. It includes a 25-meter-high column topped by a double-headed eagle. The “Europe–Asia” geographic marker is a traditional place to visit for couples from Yekaterinburg and other cities in Sverdlovsk Oblast, business travelers and visitors to the city. The information offers two different perspectives on the theme of Europe and Asia: the obelisk complex described here and the tradition of visiting the geographic marker.
