Bashkiria is the size of a small country, and there is certainly plenty to see here. If you were suddenly asked what place a tourist should visit here, what would you answer? The Shikhany mountains, caves, districts. So we decided to ask Ufa residents how well they know their republic and what we can be proud of.

The regional capital of Ufa offers developed parks and museums alongside the republic«s renowned natural landscapes.

The first respondent immediately named Inzer. Incidentally, the village now features in internet memes, like, «do you also have an unspoken tradition of calling relatives exactly when you are in Inzer?» It turns out there are many of us.

By the way, at the end, the woman could not remember the name of Mount Aygir. Indeed, there at the peak, clouds descend and it becomes unbearably beautiful. Everyone must see it.

But Bashkiria is also famous for its health resorts. Have you heard of «Karagai»? After all, it is in our republic that people were treated with kumis for tuberculosis and a number of terrible diseases. Our second respondent also advised visiting the Svyatye Kustiki (Holy Bushes) monastery — according to her, no matter what faith you adhere to, you will like the energy of the place.

But there is also something to see in the regional capital, even though the local nature holds a special place in every tourist«s heart. In Ufa, in recent years, many parks and museums have opened, so there is plenty to do, even if you are from Moscow.

Yuri Yakovlev, whom you know from the films «The Irony of Fate, or Enjoy Your Bath!» and «Ivan Vasilievich Changes Profession», also admired the nature of our republic. He even called the places «Bashkir Switzerland». Did you know that he lived in Ufa for several years? We already told about this in our article.
