Travel guide

Get around

There is a reliable bus system and locals may help you with the directions. You may use it to go from the train station to the Holy transfiguration Cathedral. Remember to have pictures to show, because almost no one will speak Russian.

There are also taxis available.

Do

You can walk around but there isn't so much to see. Remember not to miss your onward connection, as Abakan is not served so often by onward transport, especially train.
