Kungur

Кунгу́р

Spend a half‑day at the Ice Cave and main sights; add a night if you want a relaxed pace.

Kungur, the oldest city of Perm Krai, lies 2 h by bus or 1½ h by train from Perm. Its main draw is the Kungur Ice Cave, a guided‑tour karst site about 40 min walk from the station. One day covers the cave and a few monuments; a night adds flexibility and a chance to explore the town centre.
