The event calendar of the Museum of the History of Yekaterinburg lists exhibitions, concerts and lectures. The various formats offer different cultural occasions, so you do not have to limit yourself to just one type of event. Individual listings may change, so check the specific dates if you are planning your stay around a particular event.

Shartash Forest Park is a protected area of regional significance. The park is home to the “Ekodom” visitor center, which offers free environmental education programs, environmental events and workshops. Registration is required for the programs. This lets you decide whether to focus your planning on cultural events in the city or on environmental education.

The “Krasnaya liniya” is a tourist walking route through Yekaterinburg’s historic center. The project “Yekaterinburg – gorod 7 rayonov” offers a different perspective on the city: it uses guidebooks, excursions, exhibitions, art installations, memory books and souvenirs to give residents new perspectives on their familiar surroundings. The project also offers walking routes for exploring lesser-known neighborhoods.

The pocket guide maps in the second series cover five neighborhoods: Zarechny, Parkovy, Pionersky, Staraya Sortirovka and Uktus. Each guide contains a brief history of the neighborhood, its main attractions and a walking route. The offerings thus differ in their geographic focus: the “Krasnaya liniya” leads through the historic center, the project’s walking routes explore lesser-known neighborhoods, and the pocket guides combine neighborhood history, attractions and a walking tour.

Trolleybus 28 and tram lines 3, 6, 9, 10, 20, 21 and 33 are listed for Mayakovsky Central Park. Since routes may change, check the connection before you travel. This is especially helpful if you want to combine a visit to the park with another focus of your trip.

The Museum Complex of Civil and Military Equipment is located in Verkhnyaya Pyshma, in Sverdlovsk Oblast. It contains more than 15,000 exhibits, including more than 2,000 civilian and military vehicles. The collection figures may change over time.
