Bus to Rostov-on-Don — what you need to know

Rostov-on-Don is the largest city on the Don river and one of the most important transport and economic hubs in southern Russia. Known as the "Gateway to the Caucasus".

About Rostov-on-Don

Rostov-on-Don is one of Russia's largest cities, with a population of over 1.1 million, situated on the right bank of the Don 46 km from where the river flows into the Sea of Azov. Founded in 1749 as a customs post, the city's advantageous position at the crossroads of trade routes between Central Russia, the Caucasus and the Black Sea–Azov basin led it to develop rapidly into a major commercial and industrial centre.

Rostov-on-Don has earned the nicknames "Gateway to the Caucasus" and "Rostov-Papa" — an informal cultural symbol reflecting the city's distinctive character, colourful trading subculture and a tradition celebrated in numerous songs and literary works. The city is considered the home of a specific brand of Rostov humour and local cuisine.

Modern Rostov is a powerful transport hub: the M4 Don federal highway, the Moscow–Baku main railway and the Don waterway all pass through the city. Rostov Port is one of the largest river ports in Russia. Platov International Airport, opened for the 2018 FIFA World Cup, is one of the newest in the country.
