When choosing a hotel in Mineralnye Vody, the first thing you need to decide on the purpose of the trip. The city has both ordinary hotels and guest houses, and sanatoriums offering various medical procedures. The price per day in the latter is an order of magnitude higher. The cost of accommodation does not greatly depend on the location of the hotel, in the center or on the outskirts, however, it is worth looking for budget options closer to the suburbs.

Before going to Mineralnye Vody, I often thought about such an unusual name for this town. I came up with a lot of options. Resort or not? Do all the inhabitants drink mineral water there?

In fact, the city is located in Russia in the Stavropol Territory, it got its name thanks to the resorts of the Caucasian mineral waters. Mineral waters were especially popular during the times of the USSR, people came here to sanatoriums.

Now the city is better known as a transit point between Russia and Azerbaijan. And also as a place where they fly to get to Elbrus or Pyatigorsk.

However, despite its small size and the current situation, it seems to me that the city is very cute and attractive. When I first came to Mineralnye Vody, I immediately felt the Caucasian spirit and definitely the Russian outback. Although, of course, the infrastructure and standard of living leaves much to be desired. But, as I have noticed, this applies to many Russian cities.

How to get there

Mineralnye Vody is a fairly well-known route junction, so it can be reached by several modes of transport. The most convenient, I think, are an airplane and a car. It can also be reached by bus and train.

By plane

For me, an airplane is the most convenient transport for getting to Mineralnye Vody. Flights there, as a rule, are inexpensive, and the journey takes only 2 hours from Moscow. From St. Petersburg, the flight is 3 hours. For example, in winter, a flight from Moscow will cost about 4-6 thousand rubles in both directions, from St. Petersburg 8-10 thousand rubles. You can see the price of tickets on the dates you are interested in.

Most often, the following airlines fly to Mineralnye Vody: Aeroflot, Rossiya AIrlines, Nordwind Airlines, S7 and UTair. Flights from Moscow are direct and carried out daily, several times a day. From St. Petersburg, flights often run through Moscow.

Speaking about the Mineralnye Vody airport, I must say that you should not expect anything special from it. Although it is called international, it is very small and accepts mainly Russian flights. The arrivals area is small, and rather looks like a large living room. Right after the exit there will be a taxi stand where you can order it, or when leaving the airport, in any case, they will come up and offer their services. The average cost of such a trip is 300 rubles, in the high season and especially for the new year, the price rises to 500-700 rubles. Departure area is equipped with a waiting room, cafe, toilets and souvenir shops.

By train

Minvod can be reached by train, and this is one of the most popular options. From Moscow, the journey takes from 22 to 27 hours. Several trains depart from the Kazan station on the day. The cost of a reserved seat starts from 3 thousand rubles one way, a compartment - from 5 thousand rubles.

From St. Petersburg you can also get to Minvod by train. Travel time is about 40 hours, the cost of tickets starts from 4 thousand rubles one way.

Mineralnye Vody Station is one of the sights of the city. Inside, there are both free and paid waiting rooms, accommodation services at the station, luggage storage, ATMs.

Not far from the train station to the city center. You can use a taxi, they usually stand near the station, the duration of such a trip is 7-10 minutes. You can walk 15-20 minutes.

By bus

A bus is not the most comfortable option to go to Mineralnye Vody, but it also exists. Travel time is about 22 hours. The ticket price is about 2.5 thousand rubles. Buses depart from the metro stations Shchelkovskaya and Krasnogvardeiskaya and arrive at the Minvod bus station.

There is a route from St. Petersburg from the Kupchino metro station. Travel time is 32 hours.

Major carrier companies: BusArm and Car Lines.

It is convenient to take a bus from Rostov-on-Don, from where several regular buses depart daily to Mineralnye Vody. Travel time is 8 hours, and the ticket costs about 800 rubles.

From the Minvod bus station, the city center can be reached both on foot (30 minutes) and by land transport (about 10-15 minutes).

By car

A car is one of the most popular modes of transport in Mineralnye Vody and on the way to it.

From Moscow  the path runs along the Don highway, then along the E50 and the Caucasus highway. The total length of the path is 1,500 km. If you go without stops, the travel time will be about a day. But I still advise you to rest and spend the night in one of the motels.

There will be many other interesting cities along the way, such as Rostov-on-Don, Armavir, etc. The cost of such a trip will cost 6-7 thousand rubles one way.

Way from St. Petersburg  the most logical thing to do is through Moscow. That is, first drive to the capital, and then go already on the above highways. The total length of the route is 2275 km. The cost is about 10 thousand rubles.

When is the season. When is the best time to go?

For me in Mineralnye Vody there are two best seasons - winter and summer. The thing is that in winter even lifts operate in the Minvody itself and you can ski, snowboard or tubing. Although, of course, this does not compare with Elbrus. In the summer, the region of Mineralnye Vody and Pyatigorsk is a great place to relax on the lakes.

Mineral waters in the summer

Summer in mineral waters is usually warm and sunny. The average temperature is about +35 ° C.

There are few tourists directly in the city itself, but in the Pyatigorsk and Kislovodsk area there are more of them. In principle, very comfortable. At this time, it is customary to swim in the mountain lakes that can be found throughout the Caucasus.

Mineral waters in the fall

The weather in autumn is kept at +15 ° C and is generally pleasant in the city. In October, there are few tourists, by the end of November they begin to arrive, as the season for skiing and snowboarding opens.

In autumn, housing prices are lower than in summer or winter.

Mineral waters in the spring

Spring in the city is calm and comfortable. Tourists still go to Elbrus region and therefore call in to the Minvody.

The weather is usually clear, precipitation is rare. In the spring season, especially in May, mountain climbing along local trails begins.

Mineral waters in the winter

Winter is my favorite time in the Minvody. People celebrate the New Year, the city is decorated, everything around is snow-white. The temperature can be + 10 ° C, or maybe -20 ° C. Depends on the year.

It is also one of the highest seasons for the city. Maybe you do not meet a tourist there so often, but you will definitely meet a skier or snowboarder who must have come from somewhere far away.

Prompt:

Mineral waters - monthly weather

Areas. Where is better to live

Since the city is small, it seems logical to me to divide accommodation into housing in the city and its environs (or in neighboring cities that belong to the administrative district of the Ministry of Water Resources).

What are the prices for vacation

Prices for holidays in Mineralnye Vody are relatively low compared to other Russian resorts.

Accommodation on average - 1-2 thousand rubles per night in a hotel. Food prices are also low. The city has a lot of cafes in the Caucasian style, you can also buy food in grocery stores. Prices for tours are different, because if you go to Elbrus region - it is about 4 hours from Mineralnye Vody - it can be expensive. If in Pyatigorsk, then a taxi - 300 rubles, 15-20 minutes drive, and here you are in the city of Lermontov.

I remember how many times we caught a car and drove for free, because they said that we were students from Moscow and now we came to see the beautiful Caucasus. As a result, we were told that no money was needed and everyone was happy.

The main attractions. What to see

Stavropol Territory has always been rich in various attractions. Mountains, lakes, monuments, shrines. However, Mineralnye Vody has a small territory, so there are not many attractions. Most of them are located outside the city. Nevertheless, there is something to see here.

Tourist streets

I can say that in fact, in Mineralnye Vody there are no tourist streets as such. Those that are similar to the standard understanding of tourism, I would call, rather, central. This is exactly the prospectus of the 22 party congress. In fact, such a name seemed unusual to me, since I was born already in Russia, and not in the USSR. And this name carried my thoughts to the Soviet past. But now is not about that. In life, this is a useful and spacious street, where on all sides there are many shops, cafes and several hotels. Not pedestrian.

What to see in 1 day

Mineral water is a small city, so all the basic things just fit in one day. At least that's exactly what happened to me.

What to see in the surroundings

The surroundings of Mineralnye Vody are very difficult to systematize, because every corner of the Caucasus is necessarily fraught with a bunch of interesting things. Nevertheless, not far from the described city there are beautiful and historical places. These are Pyatigorsk and Zheleznovodsk.

Food. What to try

The Mineral Waters cuisine is highly mixed. It contains Russian national cuisine, Caucasian and European. Since the Minvody are located near Georgia and Azerbaijan, national dishes are often the same as in these countries. Be sure to try meat, pastries and mountain tea. For example, my culinary discoveries here were: hitchin (flat cakes with different contents) and Caucasian hashlama. Well, of course, you need to try real mineral water - after all, the city is named after this.

Holidays

Security. What to watch out for

In principle, I did not encounter any dangerous situations. Initially, there was fear due to many stereotypes - what will be the attitude to the girls? I can say that it’s really better for girls to ride with men. But not because something could happen, but in order to attract less attention. Very often on the street they may come to get acquainted, someone may simply not like it.

In mountainous regions, avalanches should be feared, but this, in fact, does not apply to the city itself.

Things to do

Despite the fact that I already said above - the small size of the city - here you can find something to do: you are a tourist or a local resident. In summer, it is always warm and colorful, in winter - snow-white and fun. Part of the activities is suitable for holidays as well as for everyday life.

The most interesting places:

Clubs and nightlife

Karaoke club Soprano. Good selection of songs, delicious drinks and cuisine. At the entrance there is a dress control and face control.

Extreme sports

Souvenirs. What to bring as a gift

From Mineralnye Vody, I advise you to definitely bring something with a mountain hue. For example, it can be jam with cones, delicious tea with various mountain herbs, or honey with the addition of unusual ingredients.

You can also buy delicious spices for meat, pomegranate or Svanese salt. In addition, a popular gift is local water or a mug for drinking from sources. Sometimes you can find "mountain air" in souvenir shops, which, of course, is just an empty jar, but as a memory, it is very sweet.

How to get around the city

To be honest, the Minvody is such a small city that you can safely walk here. However, if you live here for a long time, buses, minibuses, and preferably a car, come to the rescue, since many attractions and interesting places are located outside the city.

Taxi. What features exist

How many times have I had to deal with a taxi, so many times it was different. They can be caught on the street, you can call and order by phone. A trip around the city within 200 rubles, from the city to neighboring Pyatigorsk about 400 rubles.

The most popular taxi services:

• Mineral water №1,
• Navigator,
• Real.

The cost of rent per day will be about 1500-2000 rubles. Options can be seen.

Mineral waters - holidays with children

Ski vacation

There are no good and professional slopes directly in Mineralnye Vody, but people often ride in neighboring cities (for example, in Pyatigorsk or go to Elbrus).

However, in the nearest mountains in the Minvody, you can notice that the locals ride: most often these are either small slopes where you can climb yourself, or "home-made" tracks. Often on the slopes of neighboring mountains arrange ice-skating and tubing. However, if you choose Mineralnye Vody for a transit point on the way to Elbrus region, you will not regret it.
