萨马拉位于伏尔加河河岸，在俄罗斯流传的传统民间故事中伏尔加亦被称为“母亲伏尔加”。对于俄罗斯中部地区的居民而言，伏尔加河是该国的主要河流。伏尔加河整齐地包围着萨马拉。

Though Samara's beaches are the city's biggest attraction. In the summer they are packed with locals and tourists swimming in the waters of the Volga.

At the north-eastern corner of Square of Glory stands the small but attractive Cathedral of St George. The church was built in 2001 in honor of the older and larger incarnation that was destroyed during the Communist era.

Samara was a top secret city until 1990: after the World War II the defense industry developed rapidly there; new factories were built, leading to Kuybyshev (Samara) becoming a closed city. In 1960, it became the missile shield center for the country. The launch vehicle Vostok, which delivered the first manned spaceship to orbit, was built at the Samara Progress Plant.

From 1935 to 1990 Samara was named after the communist revolutionary Kyibushev who proclaimed the victory of the communist revolution in Samara in 1917.

Samara was founded in 1536 as a defensive port. It rapidly developed into a center for trade due to its central location in the Volga region. The principle trading was for grain, but as the industrial capacity of Russia and the rest of the world continued to develop, Samara became a center for the production of motor vehicles, chemicals, candies, and metals.

In 1941, sworn to complete secrecy, a team of more than 500 metro builders from Moscow were brought to Samara to construct a bunker, a shaft 8-meters in diameter and 37-meters deep, leading down to the entrance. If it were not so difficult to get into, this Bunker would certainly be Samara's most popular tourist attraction, although Stalin himself never used it.

During World War II, Stalin named Samara the provincial capital of the Soviet Union from 1941 to 1943. Moscow was under siege by the Germans and at risk of being occupied. Evidence of Samara's significance during wartime resonates in the remains of Stalin's Bunker, now a museum.
