Rostov Oblast trip planner

One of Russia's most populous regions, Rostov Oblast serves as the cultural and commercial center of the country's southwestern corner. Although the region remains mostly agricultural, the area along the Don River boasts some of Russia's finest vineyards, known for producing good sparkling wines. The city of Novocherkassk, a standout among the region's destinations, is the world capital of the Cossack culture. In addition to a majestic five-domed cathedral, the city also features a historical palace that once served as the living quarters of the Cossack chiefs.
