Volgodonsk is a wonderful city, a city of contrasts. It can be called without a twinge of conscience "a museum of Soviet urbanism," inspired perhaps by the architecture of which only the maestro of Constructivism and Functionalism, Corbusier, could possibly have. At the same time, the locks of Volgodonsk would be appropriate to look in tsarist Russia, so pompously, in an imperial way, they look.
This, one of the youngest cities in Russia, it is difficult to discern the face, and yet it is. Lies behind the abundance of rare for our country on the idea of monuments, hides in the shadow of the international competition of young pianists, bashfully looks through the difficult fate of the industrial center of the Rostov region. Yes, it is impossible to fall in love with or be charmed by Volgodonsk, but it is easy to imbue with its hard history or respect for perseverance in achieving your goals - it is easy.

How to get here
Volgodonsk is a large transport hub in the east of the Rostov region, so you can get there without difficulty. For example, the city passes the route Salsk - Morozovsk, which, by the way, has an "exit" to the Caucasus, bypassing the busy highway M4 "Don". There is also a railway station "Volgodonskaya", which stands on the branch of Morozovsk-Kuberle. The port of Volgodonsk and even more: it has access to 100 major ports of 22 countries of the world.
Just 20 km from the center of Volgodonsk, in the Tsimlyansky district, the eponymous airport with the city is located. Alas, temporarily not acting. After a massive reconstruction, which seems to be about to begin, he will again take the board from all of our vast homeland. For now, the easiest way is to get to Rostov-on-Don, where the mass of intercity buses runs to Volgodonsk.
