Murmansk Travel Guide: 73 reviews and 152 photos

Murmansk, town of the many songs

There is no much that I remeber of Murmansk. I was just a baby when I visited there but after the trip I have heard many songs about Murmansk as well as seen the pictures.

Easy to travel by car

Murmansk is just about 300 kilomters from Finnish border, so it is easy to reach if you visit in Finland or in Norway. Visa is a mandatory, but for a day trip it shouldn't be so difficult to get.

I wish I could go back there and see how the city looks nowadays. I have heard some sad stories, but I really believe that is it worth of visit.

Pros and Cons

Pros:It varie a lot of Finland and ot her West with culture and people. It is very refreshing experience.
Cons:Because of different culture and remains of communism, you will see lots of things that you would not like to see, like child prostitution.

Last visit to Murmansk: Jun 1983
