Situated in the geographical region historically considered to be the cradle of Estonian civilization, Maardu borders Tallinn in the west and can boast having the country’s largest international sea port within its territory.
Volgograd and Maardu have been cooperating since 2008.
The focus of cooperation is the area of culture, and the music bands representing both cities have repeatedly exchanged invitations to the festivals held on the occasion of historical and celebratory dates.
