Where to stay in Migalovo
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Tver takes the visitors. Migalovo is an airfield rather than a neighbourhood with hotels, and anyone with business at the base or elsewhere in Tver Oblast finds the rooms, the food and the onward transport in Tver itself. A gate is not a front desk.
Ten kilometres of road separate the two, which is little enough that a bed in Tver works as the practical base for anything at Migalovo.

About Migalovo
What are the main landmarks in Migalovo?
Nothing on the heritage lists carries the Migalovo name. What stands here instead is a large military airlift base, worked by Ilyushin Il-76 transports and holding a number of stored Antonov An-12 aircraft, which is not ground given over to sightseeing. Tver keeps the monuments.
A traveller after buildings to walk around spends the day in the city and treats Migalovo as the place the aircraft fly from.
What is the history of Migalovo?
Migalovo has no founding year on the record. Its documented life begins with the airfield, and the sources hold little more than its role as a large military airlift base in Tver Oblast, Russia, flying Ilyushin Il-76 transports with some Antonov An-12 aircraft kept in storage. Earlier centuries left no paper here.
That leaves Tver, ten kilometres east, to carry the region's deeper past while Migalovo carries its aviation one.
Where is Migalovo?
Migalovo sits some ten kilometres west of Tver, inside Tver Oblast, and the airlift base takes up effectively the whole of the ground it names.
