Mindful meoweler tips

Welcome to Krasnodar

As the heart of the Kuban region, Krasnodar is full of cultural and culinary delights. Don't miss the Kuban wine and the famous Krasnodar honey!

Be aware of the dress code

Although Krasnodar is a relatively liberal city, it's still important to dress modestly, especially when visiting churches or government buildings. Keep your paws covered!

Visit the Red Street

The iconic Red Street is a must-see for cat tourists, filled with cafes, street performers, and unique architecture. Don't forget to take a selfie with The Cat, the famous statue on Red Street!

Try the local cuisine

Krasnodar is known for its fresh produce and delicious traditional dishes, such as borsch, shashlik, and pirozhki. Meowvolous!

Be mindful of the language barrier

While many younger cats speak some English, it's always a good idea to brush up on your Russian and communicate through gestures and facial expressions. Don't be afraid to ask for help and always use polite cat language!
