Learn more about hotels in Samara

Samara, once known as Kuybyshev, is a large and vibrant city situated at the junction of the Samara and Volga Rivers. Formerly a fort defending the easternmost borders of Russia, Samara has evolved into an industrial powerhouse and a popular recreational spot. The name 'Samara', signifying 'summer water' in ancient Indo-Iranian language, aptly reflects the city's climate of hot summers paired with cold winters, and the city's riverfront remains a favoured recreation site among locals and tourists.

The city boasts a rich tapestry of history, with ancient tales of peasant war rebels and visits by Russian tsars. Throughout World War II, Samara metamorphosed into the alternative capital of the Soviet Union, producing arms for the war front, and the city has continuously evolved from its industrial roots. Today, Samara bristles with a blend of history, bustling urban life, and serene riverfront views, making it a compelling travel destination for all.
