Perm trip planner

A busy industrial center straddling the banks of the Kama River, the sprawling city of Perm sits at the western foothills of the Ural Mountains. Founded in 1723 on the orders of Peter the Great, the city grew quickly thanks to the region's vast mineral deposits. A major railway junction, Perm continues to thrive largely due to its booming oil refining and petrochemical industries. Despite its industrial reputation, the city also serves as a major cultural center, its museums and galleries recognized worldwide for their outstanding collections of art. Use Perm as a convenient base camp for day trips to the nearby ice cave, museum of wooden architecture, and the infamous Soviet gulag named after the city.
