Ibrox Stadium Tour: how to see Rangers’ stadium up close

18+ | Commercial Content | T&Cs apply | Gambleaware.org

Ibrox Stadium is home to Rangers, the most decorated team in Scottish football history.

With the club in the midst of a tense battle with local rivals Celtic at the top of the Scottish Premiership , there's never been a better time to check out Ibrox in all its glory.

To book the Ibrox Stadium tour, head to the Rangers club website, click the three lines in the top right corner, then click Edmiston House and finally Rangers Museum and Ibrox Tours. From that page, scroll to near the bottom and follow the link to the Edmiston House website. From this page, you should be able to book whichever tour you like.

Which Ibrox Stadium tour should I choose?

There are three packages available when you book a stadium tour at Ibrox . You can book the standard tour, visit the Rangers Museum, or select a package that includes access to both.

What’s included in the Ibrox Stadium tours?

The tour starts at Edmiston House , the new home of the Rangers Museum. If you choose to include the museum as part of your tour, you can view historic exhibits from the 151 years that the club has existed, and test your knowledge and skills with a series of interactive exhibits.

Once on the tour proper, you will start at the famous marble staircase. Constructed from Italian marble, it was much criticised for its grandiosity by rival clubs upon its completion. Rangers’ longest-serving and most successful manager Bill Struth had a few words for those critics – “This will be here when the rest are not.”

A bust of Struth, who managed the club for a remarkable 34 years between 1920 and 1954 and is the most decorated manager in British football history, is also present on the staircase.

Once you climb the stairs, you can visit the Managers’ Room. Built for Struth during his tenure at the club, the room has a framed photo of every man who has taken the helm.

Also on the tour are the dressing rooms, the players’ tunnel, and the trophy room – which is decorated with trophies, pennants from other teams, and even a bike gifted by St Etienne before their game against Rangers in the 1975 European Cup.

How long is the tour?

The stadium tour lasts between 60 and 90 minutes and is completely guided. It is designed so that there is very little overlap with the information in the museum, so the club recommends that you visit the museum as well as part of your day.

The museum is stuffed full of interesting exhibits and iconic items, so how long you spend there is entirely up to you.

How much does the Ibrox Stadium tour cost?

Tickets for the stadium tour by itself cost £18.50 for adults, £9.50 for concessions and under-18s, and is free for under-5s. Groups of 15 or more can get a discount of around 10 per cent. MyGers members get a discount of around 20 per cent.

Tickets for the Rangers Museum are £11.50 for adults and £6.50 for concessions and under-18s. Again, groups of 15 or more will receive a discount of around 10 per cent.

To get a combined ticket for the stadium tour and museum, it costs £25 for adults, £13.50 for concessions and under-18s, and under-5s once again go free. Tickets are also subject to a 10 per cent discount if ordered for 15 people or more.

This means that an adult saves £5 when buying a combined ticket compared with buying the stadium tour and museum separately.

How to get to Ibrox

The best way to get to Ibrox is on the subway – the stadium has its own station which is just a short walk away. It takes 10-15 minutes to get there from the city centre on the Outer Circle of the subway, and 15-20 minutes on the Inner Circle.

If driving westbound on the M8, Junctions 24, 25 and 26 all take you close to the stadium. If driving eastbound on the M8, take Junctions 26 or 24, or exit at Kinning Park where you can join the M77 and then exit the M77 at Junction 1.  

Sneak peek inside the stadium

Ibrox Stadium – Rangers FC Tour + Museum

Rangers FC are a top Scottish and European football team with a rich history.  Reasons to take a Rangers stadium tour include;

• You’re a Rangers fan
• One of the largest stadiums in the UK
• Learn about the clubs rich history
• Friendly and very knowledgeable tour guides
• Visit the and Blue Room and Trophy Room
• Take a photo with the Rangers mascot

Rangers stadium tours run Fridays as well as Saturday and Sunday on non match days.  I recommend you book your stadium tour in advance  to organise the best time for you.

Ibrox stadium is located in west Glasgow, south of the River Clyde.  It’s very easy to get to, simply take the Glasgow underground to Ibrox station.  You may be visiting Ibrox stadium for the the famous Rangers FC and football.  However, it’s also hosted speeches from both King George VI and Sir Winston Churchill.

Ibrox Stadium Gates

The Rangers FC gates are an important part of the historic Ibrox Stadium.  If you’re visiting Ibrox for the first time you may well stop for a picture alongside them.  As you take the stadium tour, look at the old stadium pictures to see how they fit into the original design.  These gates reminded me of the Shankly Gates at Anfield .

John Greig Statue

John Greig is considered to be the greatest ever Rangers player therefore his statue is in between the Bill Struth and Copeland Road stands.  However, there is more to this statue than meets the eye.  John Greig was the captain when Rangers played Celtic on 2nd January 1971.  After this game, several supporters died during a crush on the Copeland Road staircase exit.  This statue is a monument to all those who lost their lives during this incident.  In addition, it honors all those who lost their lives during other incidents at Ibrox stadium.  Lastly, there’s also a plaque in memory of those who lost their lives adjacent to where the staircase used to be.

Stadium Tour Meeting Point – Bill Struth Stand

The stadium tour starts when you go through the double doors in the center of the grand Bill Struth Stand.  Before you go inside and take the tour, I recommend you cross the road to view the Bill Struth Stand exterior.  This 1928 structure is one of the most impressive stadium exteriors in world football.  Lastly, the Arsenal stadium ,  Man City stadium  and Athletic Bilbao stadium  may be ultra modern but they cannot recreate the character of a historic stadium.

Ibrox Stadium

Ibrox stadium has a capacity of over 50,000.  As a result, it’s the third largest football stadium in both Glasgow and Scotland after Celtic Park and Hampden Park .  The main stand is the Bill Struth Stand which is the one you explore on the stadium tour.  This historic stand dates back to 1928 / 29.  The other 3 stands were built in the late 70’s and early 80’s as part of the restructuring to make Ibrox a safer stadium.  Lastly, these stands are the Copland, Broomloan and Govan stands.

Marble Staircase

You know the Rangers stadium tour is going to be something special as you walk up the marble staircase in the Bill Struth Stand.  When you walk up you’ll pass 2 busts of Rangers legends.  Both Sandy Jardine and Bill Struth have a bust on the staircase.  In addition, there is the Hall of Fame which lists Rangers greats over the years.

The Blue Room is the historic Rangers boardroom.  It features several paintings illustrating Rangers history as well as medals on display.  As a matter of fact, even if you’re not interested in football you’d be satisfied simply visiting to view the fine artwork.  Another interesting item in the Blue Room is the piano which Bill Struth himself used to play.

Rangers Museum

Where are you from?  Which is your favorite football team?  If they’ve played Rangers, it’s highly likely there’s a souvenir proudly on show in the Rangers museum.  If you look at my picture of the museum you may be wondering, why has someone parked their bike in the museum?  This French racing bike is in fact a gift from St Etienne.  Every gift from each team is unique and has a reference to their culture or logo.  The painting on the wall is Bill Struth who was the Rangers manager for 34 years.  Finally, it’s clear to see that Rangers are not only proud of their history but also value it.

Old Managers Room

Known as the old managers room, this was Bill Struth’s office.  An interesting fact about this office is that a canary flew in the window one day.  A cage was then put up and this office became the canaries home.  Today, you can still see where the cage was suspended from.  The office is full of interesting pieces and the tour guide will explain their significance.  Lastly, the manager’s office is now closer to the home team dressing rooms.

A Gift from Sir Winston Churchill

For me, the most interesting piece in the old managers room is the ink stand.  It was a gift from Sir Winston Churchill when he delivered a speech at Ibrox.  Additionally, there’s another gift from Sir Winston Churchill displayed in the Rangers Museum.

Rangers Press Room + Broxi Bear

As you would imagine, the press room is blue and features all the match sponsors as well as the Rangers logos themselves.  A wonderful addition to the press room visit is the Rangers mascot.  Broxi Bear will make a surprise appearance whilst you explore the press room.  If you’re taking the Rangers stadium tour with kids, I recommend you keep this part secret.  I personally didn’t know Broxi Bear would make an appearance and was quite excited to see him myself!  You’re welcome to take photos and selfies with Broxi Bear.  Alternatively, after he leaves you can take your picture in the managers chair itself.

Home Team Dressing Rooms

The Rangers home team dressing room is full of history and character.  For this reason, it’s definitely one of the best dressing rooms I’ve visited throughout the world.  Imagine the Rangers greats who have used this dressing room.  John Greig, Ally McCoist, Paul Gascoigne, Barry Ferguson, Mark Hateley, Stuart Mccall, Andy Goram but to name a few.  When I visited Ibrox stadium, number 2 James Tavernier was captain.  The captain traditionally sits under the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II.  Additionally, there’s another portrait of the Queen above the exit which was donated by Terry Butcher.

Away Team Dressing Rooms

The away team dressing rooms at first glance look identical to the home teams.  However, there are a couple of unusual features in this dressing room.  Features which may get the away team thinking about things other than football.  Do those hangers look a little high?  Ask the guide for details.  Moreover, the Rangers fans walk right past the away team dressing room.  I’m sure they know where it is and therefore may shout a few words of discouragement.  Finally, shirts of the famous players and teams who have visited Ibrox are on display.  You’re welcome to take your picture with the Juventus Del Piero, Barcelona Messi, or any shirt you wish.

Players Tunnel

The Rangers team walk out onto the pitch to the music ‘Simply The Best’.  As you walk through the players tunnel the guide will play the music and recreate the atmosphere.  He’ll probably invite the kids to be the team captains walking out.  As you walk out onto the pitch, you’ll pass under the words ‘We are the people’.  Furthermore, there’s a flash interview board in the players waiting area where you’re more than welcome to make your own interview video.

Dugout and Pitch Side

A top Instagram spot on the Rangers stadium tour is sat in the managers seat.  The tour guide will explain which is the home dugout and exactly where the manager sits.  Moreover, pitchside is a good location to take a stadium selfie.  It’s also from pitchside where you get a good view of the criss cross style architecture by architect Archibald Leitch.

Rangers Club Shop

The Rangers Club Shop is a must for Rangers fans.  As you would imagine it’s full of every kind of Rangers merchandise you could imagine.  In fact, you could buy some Rangers memorabilia to wear throughout your stadium tour.  That photo with Broxi Bear would look a whole lot better if you were wearing a Rangers shirt!

How to get to Ibrox Stadium from Central Glasgow

To get to Ibrox stadium is incredibly easy.  The best way is to take the Glasgow underground to Ibrox station.  Alternatively, if you’re staying in west Glasgow close to the Clyde, it’s a 20 minute walk.

Enjoy the Rangers Stadium Tour

Rangers stadium tours run Fridays as well as Saturday and Sunday on non match days.  I recommend you book your stadium tour in advance as they do sell out.  As a neutral, this was my favorite stadium tour in Glasgow.  For this reason, if you’re only taking one tour in Glasgow, I’d choose this one.

Check out the Hampden Park ,  Celtic Stadium Tour  and of course, the famous Glasgow Landmarks + Instagram Spots .

Rangers FC Ibrox Stadium Tour

If you are a fan of classic old stadiums, you cannot miss the Rangers FC Stadium Tour at Ibrox Stadium.

Ibrox Stadium, home of Glasgow Rangers since 1899 (when it opened as Ibrox Park), now seats just over 50,000 people. Three of the four stands, and even the upper deck of the oldest stand, were built or renovated from the 1970s to the 1990s. But the historic Main Stand, designed by famous stadium architect Archibald Leitch, opened in 1928 and today is a historically protected building. That’s it at the top of this post.

For me, the highlights were the old touches in the Main Stand — the old manager’s office and board room, the wooden railings around the directors’ seating area — as well as the phenomenal trophy room. There, you can see not only the trophies won by the club but also gifts brought by other clubs when they come to play at Ibrox. It’s all packed into a fairly small room for a somewhat dizzying effect.

The Rangers Stadium Tour can be purchased on the club’s website at £17 per adult.

Ibrox: Rangers

From Rangers FC

Rangers Football Club was formed in 1872, playing their initial games on Glasgow Green until 1890 when they moved to the first Ibrox Stadium. They moved to Ibrox Park in 1899 but the stadium suffered a bad disaster (as opposed to a good one) in 1902 when one of the wooden terraces collapsed. They were replaced with earthen based terraces instead, offering a bigger degree of safety at the ground.

Sadly, Ibrox suffered another disaster in 1971 when there was a crush in the crowd at an Old Firm game and 66 people died and more than 200 others were injured. It occurred in one of the stairwells and the stadium’s owners were ruled to be at fault for at least one of the deaths, with families of the other victims then suing for damages. The ground was largely rebuilt over the following years, with the name being changed to Ibrox Stadium in 1997.

Ibrox Photos

Ibrox Seating Plan and Where to Sit

Ibrox is a typical ‘British’ style stadium with four separate sections. They all have two tiers with the exception of the Bill Struth Main Stand which has three. Here’s some information on each:

• The Sandy Jardine Stand – Running along the side of the pitch, The Sandy Jardine Stand (formerly the Govan Stand) has a series of hospitality boxes and also hosts Bar 72, which was built in 2006 to add more hospitality options.
• The Bill Struth Main Stand – Opposite The Govan stand is The Bill Struth Stand, which is the main stand in the stadium. It’s where the dugouts are as well as the players’ tunnel and it’s also been given grade B listed status.
• The Broomloan Road Stand – This stand is behind one of the goals and houses the away fans.
• The Copland Road Stand – This was the first part of the stadium to be rebuilt when Ibrox was given a major overhaul. It’s where the most vocal Rangers fans tend to sit, giving it a tremendous atmosphere.

Rangers Ticket Prices

Rangers are pretty secretive about their ticket prices, but what we can tell you is that they vary depending on exactly who they are playing and where in the ground you want to sit. As a general idea tickets for a Ladbrokes Premiership game are between £30-£40 for adults, £21-£30for concession and £10 for juniors.

How To Get Rangers Tickets

Getting To Ibrox

Though not the capital of Scotland, Glasgow is nevertheless a popular tourist destination. As such there are plenty of different travelling methods for your consideration:

Train – It will take you around four and a half hours to get from London to Glasgow Central. From there you’ll then want to take the Glasgow Subway to Ibrox Station and you’ll then enjoy a quick walk to the stadium itself.

Bus – There are a host of buses that travel from the city centre to the stadium. Head to the main bus station or have a look online for a good idea of specifically which bus to catch.

Car – Leave the M8 at Junction 24, 25 or 26 and then follow the signs. If you’re on the M74 then you’ll want to get onto the M8 before following the same instructions.

By Air – Glasgow International Airport is linked to the city by bus to a local train station.

Taxi – If you were to jump a taxi from Glasgow Central Station to Ibrox it would take about fifteen minutes and should cost in the region of £10.

Parking Near Ibrox

The Albion Car Park is opposite the ground and has spaces available at £10 per car on a first come first served basis. You can take a chance with nearby residential roads but there are parking restrictions in place in a lot of the areas.

Ibrox Hotels

Glasgow has had quite a bit of experience of welcoming a lot of visitors all at the same time. Even ignoring the three major stadiums in the city, it hosted the 2014 Commonwealth Games and that tested the hotel industry in the city very well. Here are some of the best options:

ibis budget Glasgow - £30+

The Kelvingrove Hotel - £50+

Hilton Garden Inn Glasgow City Centre - £80+

Pubs and bars near ibrox.

The Scots are known for their love of a tipple, with Glaswegians being particular up for a wee dram or two. You can expect a good night in Glasgow, especially if you head to one of these places:

The Horseshoe Bar

The crystal palace.

The facilities at Ibrox are pretty much as you’d expect from a top-flight side. There are plenty of places to buy food and drink, the views are good from almost everywhere and the atmosphere is not to be sniffed at either.

• Programme: £3
• Cup of tea: £2.5

Hospitality

There are nine different hospitality options for your consideration at Ibrox. We’re not going to go through all of them, but here are some of the key ones you may want to consider:

• The Chairman’s Club – This is one of the most luxurious hospitality packages around, with your day getting underway with a champagne reception. You’ll get a four-course menu including fine wines and liquers, half-time refreshment and a complimentary bar for an hour after the match. There’s also entertainment featuring past or present players being interviewed.
• The Legends Lounge – As you’d expect from a suite named after the clubs’ legends, this lounge is a slightly more informal offering whilst still maintaining plenty of class. You’ll get a hot and cold buffet, half-time refreshments, a complimentary bar after the game and an appearance from a first team player – but not a club legend, oddly.
• The Argyle Suite – Here you’ll enjoy a three-course carvery meal, a complimentary bar, half-time refreshments and the opportunity to meet a Rangers Legend.
• Club Europe – Combining European stylings with a contemporary design, this lounge offers a hot and cold buffet, complimentary bar, half-time refreshments and a chance to unwind after the game.
• The Ibrox Suite – This is the most informal of the lounges but by no means one to turn your nose up at. There’s a brilliant view of the pitch, a cash bar, a two-course carvery meal available and half-time refreshments.

Private Hire

The nine different hospitality suites are only regularly used on match days. They’re all, as you might expect, available for hire the rest of the time too. Whether you’re looking to host a conference, a private party or a large meeting with breakout rooms, there’s very little you’ll want to do that Ibrox won’t be able to accommodate.

Stadium Tours & Museum

Tours of Ibrox run regularly several days a week. They take in plenty of the major areas of the ground including the dressing room, the Trophy Room, the players’ tunnel and the pitch side area. You can also take a virtual reality tour of the club’s Murray Park training ground. The tour costs £28 for adults, £15 for concessions a children aged 3-17, and younger children go free.

Rangers have their own museum too, and this is included in the prices above. This houses plenty of Rangers memorabilia, with the club being the most successful of all time in Scotland. Cheaper tours excluding the museum are available too at £20 for adults and £12 for concessions and youngsters.

About Rangers

With 54 top-flight league wins, 33 Scottish Cups, 27 League Cups and a European Cup Winners’ Cup, Rangers have won more leagues and trophy trebles than any other club in world football. Rangers were founded in 1872 and became one of the founding members of the Scottish Football League when it was formed in 1890. The club remained in the top-flight until Rangers Football Club PLC was liquidated in 2012. That came about because of non-payment of PAYE and VAT taxes to Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs.

The liquidation of the club resulted in Rangers being expelled from the Scottish Football League, with clubs voting 29-1 in favour of the club rejoining in the fourth-tier of the football system after a new corporate arm had been formed. This brought much delight and amusement to Celtic fans, with whom Rangers have enjoyed a long-standing rivalry. Though not quite so prevalent any more, a large part of the rivalry came about because of religious differences, with Celtic fans traditionally being Catholic and Rangers being protestant. When the two clubs play each other the match is known as the Old Firm game. Rangers quickly climbed back to the top flight however, even bagging a world record for the highest attendance at a 4th tier league game (49,913 against Stirling Albion), and are once again playing in the Scottish Premiership.

Ibrox History

Ibrox is the third largest stadium in Scotland, somewhat ironically coming behind two other grounds that are located in the same city. The home of Rangers can host 50,987 people whilst Hampden Park can welcome 51,866 through its doors. Celtic Park tops the list with a capacity of 60,411. The Ibrox Disaster of 1971 led to a complete overhaul of the stadium, with the bowl-shaped terracing replaced by the more traditional all-seater stands by the start of the 1980’s. Renovations were completed altogether by 1997 and the ground was renamed as Ibrox Stadium in recognition of the works completion.

The disaster wasn’t the first to befall Ibrox. In fact, before its redesign was completed in the late 1990s the stadium had the worst fan safety record in all of Britain. Over the years the ground has hosted eighteen Scotland national team matches as well as numerous Scottish Cup finals. It has the top UEFA rating available for football stadiums, though it has yet to be used to host a major European cup final. It has hosted boxing matches, however, and during the 2014 Commonwealth Games Ibrox was used to host the rugby sevens tournament.

Future Developments

Plans to redevelop Ibrox have been suggested and then shelved with some degree of regularity over the past decade or so. Plenty of that was to do with the club’s financial crisis that limited how much could be afforded.

John Bennett confirmed in 2021 that there were plans to improve and expand the stadium by adding seating in several areas. Ahead of the 2024/25 season changes were made to the Copland Road stand, including a new cantilever with 1,000 additional seats as well as expanding the number of spaces available for wheelchair users.

Brendan Rodgers rant at Rangers takes new twist as Celtic application uncovered

The Rangers v Celtic Old Firm ticket saga has taken a surprising turn this week.

For once, it is the Ibrox outfit who hold the cards and have more than the right to feel ever so slightly smug.

Only last week, Brendan Rodgers was lording it up in a press conference after Celtic withdrew Rangers fans’ tickets for the first Old Firm of the season on September the 1 st saying that guarantees hadn’t been given – it turns out that they were in no place to make them either.

Rangers v Celtic ticket saga sees Brendan Rodgers faux pas

Both clubs needed to carry out remedial work to their home grounds, Celtic, for obvious reasons, needed to complete theirs first with Ibrox already under renovation.

A quick check of Glasgow City Council’s planning website shows that Rodgers wasn’t entirely up to date with the facts when he went all guns blazing recently, especially when you consider Celtic’s pending planning application for alterations at Parkhead .

If you can stomach it, here is what the Celtic manager had to say on the issue last week when pressed on his club’s decision to not issue tickets to away fans.

“I think the board have made a really good decision in that the club’s job is to protect the support. If there is not that guarantee come the second fixture then it’s only logical you wouldn’t reciprocate. Celtic have played their part in what they were asked to do.

“Nothing of this was Celtic’s issue. Nothing. When you go back to where this all started, this is nothing to do with Celtic. Celtic gets dragged into this as being a Celtic-Rangers thing. But it’s not a Celtic-Rangers thing. This is a Rangers thing.

“So, when Celtic are asked to have this agreement, to make the stadium safe, we plough money into that, we do the work, which started months ago. On both parties, it hasn’t been agreed. So, it’s not complicated. It hasn’t been done. It’s not great faith if we allow Rangers supporters in and we get to January and our own supporters can’t get in. It’s not good faith.

“I think the agreement hasn’t been upheld, so Celtic rightly have to defend their supporters and their club and sadly the Rangers supporters miss out on this game and Celtic in the return game. But let’s hope that after that we can then find a way to get supporters in.”

This version of events isn’t entirely accurate.

Old Firm ticket farce may be a Celtic issue

It turns out, it may be a Celtic issue, not just a Rangers one.

It doesn’t take much digging to and discover that Celtic have yet to be granted planning permission for netting to be put up between home and away fans at Parkhead.

You can follow the link for Celtic’s application here: Celtic apply for netting to divide home and away fans.

A similar application that Rangers have also made to the council for the second derby of the season in January.

There is a saying about getting your own house in order before worrying about someone elses, kind of feels apt at this moment in time.

Will Rangers stay silent?

History of Tula Oblast

Ancient people began to settle in the territory of today’s Tula Oblast at the end of the Paleolithic (about 12 thousand years ago). In the early Iron Age (about 3 thousand year ago), the tribes of the Verkhneoksk archaeological culture appeared (the Balts).

In the 8th century, the Slavic tribe of Vyatichi came to this region in place of the Balts. They were engaged in cattle breeding, farming, crafts. At first, the Vyatichi paid tributes to the Khazars, and then they became part of the Old Russian state. In 907, they took part in the campaign of Prince Oleg against Tsargrad (Constantinople).

In the 12th century, the town of Dedoslavl (presumably, the present village of Dedilovo in Kireevsky district) appeared - a fortified craft and trade center, a place of gathering of the elders of the Vyatichi. By the 13th century, the smoothing of tribal features led to the disappearance of the tribal name Vyatich.

Having fallen into the sphere of influence of Kievan Rus, the territory of the Tula region for a long time remained a wild pagan land. After the collapse of Kievan Rus, this land became part of the Chernigov princedom. In the 13th century, the Mongol invasion swept through the territory of the region.

More historical facts…

In 1380, in the southeastern part of the present Tula region, at the confluence of the rivers of Nepryadva and Don, the Kulikovo battle took place, which initiated the liberation of the Russian lands from the Golden Horde yoke.

In 1503, the Tula lands became part of the Moscow Grand Duchy. In the beginning of the 16th century, the fortress of Tula was founded. In the 16th-17th centuries, it was an important fortified town located on the southern outskirts of the Moscow state.

The industrial development of the region began in the 17th century. In 1696, the Tula blacksmith Nikita Demidov built the first blast furnaces and workshops at the mouth of the Tulitsa River, which were the beginning of the development of blacksmithing in Tula.

The town became one of the centers of Russian metallurgy and metalworking. In 1712, according to the decree of Peter the Great, the State Arms Factory was established in Tula, which produced weapons for the Russian army. In 1719, the Tula region was formed. In 1777, it became a gubernia (province). At the same time, the production of samovars, gingerbread, accordions began to develop in Tula.

In 1855, the Malevskaya mine (to the south of Bogoroditsk) was put into operation, regular coal mining began in the Moscow region basin, the oldest coal mining region of Russia discovered in 1722. The development of industry in the province was facilitated by the construction of the railways: “Moscow-Kursk” in 1864-1868 and “Syzran-Vyazma” in 1870-1874.

In 1929, the Tula Governorate was abolished, its territory became part of the Central Industrial Region. In September 1937, it once again became a separate region. During the Second World War, Tula defensive and offensive operations were carried out on the territory of the Tula region.

For the courage and steadfastness shown by the defenders of Tula in the defense of the city, which played an important role in stopping the Wehrmacht offensive and subsequent defeating of enemy troops near Moscow, Tula was awarded the honorary title Hero City.

In the post-war years, the machine-building, chemical, metallurgical, and coal industries were further developed in the Tula region, research institutes and design bureaus were established.

Tula Oblast - Features

Tula Oblast is located in the center of the East European (Russian) plain, within the zone of deciduous forests and forest-steppe. The length of the territory of the region from north to south is 200 km, from west to east - 190 km.

About 50% of ore deposits of the Moscow region coal basin, estimated at 1.5 billion tons, are concentrated in the Tula region. In the south-west, there are large deposits of peat. The region also has significant deposits of iron ore, strontium ores, various building materials including limestone, clay, sand, gypsum.

The main industries are chemical, mechanical engineering, food, ferrous metallurgy, electric power. Agricultural land occupies more than 60% of the total area of the region (barley, wheat, fodder crops, sugar beet).
