Chelyabinsk Travel Guide
Russia
Chelyabinsk is a major city in Russia’s southern Urals, with a population of about 1.24 million. It is an important regional centre in the country’s interior, well away from the coast.
Most air travellers arrive through Chelyabinsk International Airport (CEK), the city’s listed airport. There are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres, so Chelyabinsk is better suited to an inland city break than a beach-focused trip.

Tipping: Tipping in Russia is not always mandatory, but it's becoming increasingly common, especially in tourist areas. It's a way to show appreciation for good service.
