Apartments: to be or not to be?: Where to stay in Ufa
RimaM Says: I had friends coming to Ufa from another country. The first thing I thought about is booking a hotel for them. But it turned out to be too costly - a hotel room in a good hotel with wi-fi and air conditioner for two people is around 7 800 (260$) rubals per night! So, I...

snowdoggie Says: Very economic choice. However, the room is quite small, and the building looks quite old.The main problem: No english you can use here.It is in the northern part of the city center.There is a park(October Revolution Park?) with the Great Lenin Status.On the other side of the...
It was cheap and comfortable, I traveled in the city by bus, tram and walk, and I had no problem with transport.

Ufa is the capital of the republic of Bashkortostan, the national home of the Bashkir people. The Bashkirs are traditionally a nomadic people, of Turkic origin, and with an Islamic cultural tradition. And they have food that's as fun to say as it is delicious to eat!
There are many opportunities in Ufa to sample traditional Bashkir food. My favorite place is "Pyshka" - a chain with many locations around the city, and affordable!
- For starters, try "uchpachmak" (uch-PACH-mak) - a meat and potato pasty. True uchpachmak is made with mutton (sheep meat), but most often it's made with beef.
- A tasty dessert if "chak-chak" - fried dough covered in honey. It's only mildly sweet, so it's perfect even for those who don't like sweets. Be aware, though, chak-chak is prepared a little differently in every cafe. If you venture into a supermarket, you will see a few varieties to choose from.

Gerrem Says: If you like to taste the beer...it's just from bags. Take a look at the picture!More than ten years later, I hope it's better now.

Theater for Drama with Lenin Status
The first impression - Police looks unfriendly.......But I change my mind after visiting Moscow......^^*
Ufa policemen are naive and humane in some senses, I think.

I was only in Ufa for a week, but I got to sample a lot! Ufa is decidedly different than "Russian" Russia, most obviously because it is the capital of the Bashkir nation (politically, the "state" is...
A bus ride east of the city brought me to the house of a relative of a friend for my first experience of banya.
