    About Ekaterinburg
    Ekaterinburg is the fourth-largest city in Russia and the administrative center of the Sverdlovsk Oblast, located on the Iset River east of the Ural Mountains, in the heart of the Eurasian continent, on the Asian side of the boundary between Asia and Europe. It is the key cultural and industrial center of the region.

    Ekaterinburg is home to the first President of Russia Boris Yeltsin, as well as the scene for many other historical events. The city of Ekaterinburg is closely related to the name of Russia's last tsar Nikolay II.

    Ekaterinburg lives by the Ekaterinburg Time, which is five hours ahead of UTC (UTC+5) and two hours ahead of Moscow Time. A flight to Moscow usually takes about two hours, with more than 10 flights available each day.

    Ekaterinburg is the third largest transport hub of Russia, following Moscow and St. Petersburg. The city boasts 6 federal highways, 7 main railway lines and an international airport. Its central location allows for trips to any of the large Ural cities within 7-10 hours.

    Ekaterinburg became an important transportation hub largely due to the city's favorable geographical location – on a low stretch of the Ural Mountains, convenient for laying the main roads connecting the European and Eastern parts of Russia. The international airport of Ekaterinburg operates flights to more than 30 destinations abroad.

The city also takes up the 4th place as for fixed assets and the 2nd place as for housing placement.

    Ekaterinburg hosted 4 games during the 2018 FIFA World Cup as one of the 11 Russian host cities. The games were played at the renovated Central Stadium.
