Grozny is the capital of Chechnya in the Russian North Caucasus, on the Sunzha river beneath the mountains. The city was almost entirely destroyed in the wars of the nineteen-nineties and early two-thousands and has been comprehensively rebuilt, so almost nothing predates that reconstruction.
The Akhmad Kadyrov Mosque, one of the largest in Europe, and the cluster of glass towers around it are the centrepiece of the rebuilt city. The Caucasus mountains south of the city, with Lake Kezenoyam and the medieval stone towers of the highland valleys, are the region's outstanding landscape.
Taxis and marshrutka minibuses cover the city and the centre is walkable. Reaching the mountains requires a hired car, and travellers should check their own government's guidance on the region before going.
Late spring through early autumn is much the best for the mountains. Summers on the plain are hot, and winters are cold with snow at altitude.
