What to do and see in Murmansk, Northwestern District: The Best Things to do Good for Kids

April 30, 2022 Nobuko Falco

Murmansk (Russian: Му́рманск, IPA: [ˈmurmənsk]; Kildin Sami: Мурман ланнҍ; Northern Sami: Murmánska; Skolt Sami: Muurman) is a port city and the administrative center of Murmansk Oblast in the far northwest part of Russia. It sits on both slopes and banks of a modest ria or fjord, Kola Bay, an estuarine inlet of the Barents Sea. Its bulk is on the east bank of the inlet. It is in the north of the rounded Kola Peninsula which covers most of the Oblast (semi-autonomous region). The city is 67 miles (108 km) from the border with Norway and 113 miles (182 km) from the Finnish border. The city is named for the Murman Coast; an archaic term in Russian for Norwegian.

Reviewed By shmeva44 - Moscow, Russia

You have to visit this former nuclear icebreaker on a russian tour. Since we didn't understand any of what was being said we just took photos and looked up information online later. The tour moves quite quickly, so we didn't have time to read the English information on the walls.

It is worth the visit. I came here on a sleepy Wednesday afternoon. There were no crowds of schoolkids or tourists. So I wandered around its halls taking my time at looking at the exhibits or reading explanations.

Semyon the Cat Monument

Reviewed By mansour748 - Tehran, Iran

I really love Seymon. A fat traveler cat. It's statue looks funny but with a hard and amazing story. This cat traveled 2000 kilometers to come back his house. He was sick and skinny when arrived home. So it is the reason why artist create it a fat cat. It seems he feed Seymon during creation. You can sit next to him and whisper in his ear, folk believes it will come true as soon as possible.
