Essentuki in the summer 2025 – is it worth going to rest? The weather in June, July and August, reviews, air temperature, how to dress, prices in boarding houses, hotels and apartments, on excursions. How to spend the summer in Essentuki, what to see and what to do, where to go in the vicinity, EUROTRAVELER found out.
Essentuki, a resort city of mineral water, bottles with which are flaunted on the shelves of most Russian stores, is generally not spoiled by the attention of tourists. If in the days of the USSR its boarding houses and sanatoriums have never been empty, today most citizens prefer to relax in neighboring Kislovodsk and Pyatigorsk. And in the Essentuki – even in the summer – they come exclusively on the tour, even without thinking about stopping.
We will not say that such an approach is fundamentally incorrect – on the contrary, it is quite justified. But we will allow ourselves not to hide on widespread subjectivity, but we will develop our own opinion. Based on real facts!
First of all, we will try to find out whether it is worth resting in Essentuki in the summer? With what moral and material costs is it fraught with, who should go here? And, of course, how exactly in the resort city and its environs can you spend leisure time?
Weather in Essentuki in June
It seems to be perfectly suitable for relaxation: warm, but usually not hot, humidity is in the moderate framework, only on especially rainy days getting into the range of 80-85%. At the same time, it is worth remembering that June in Essentuki, as, indeed, other cities of Caucasian mineral waters, is the most rainy month of the year. And relatively recently, in 2002, the resort was literally flooded due to ongoing rains.
Kislovodsk suffered much less because it is located on the slopes of the mountains. A successful exalted location allowed us not to “light up” in the news of that summer and Pyatigorsk.
However, let’s about the positive-we are still talking about rest?!
So, at the beginning of summer, that is, at the start of June, the Essentuki enjoy quite warm weather and air temperatures in the range of +18-24 ° C during the day. Although at night the atmosphere still cools to +12-18 ° C.
The middle of June will not bring a noticeable fracture in weather moods-except that street thermometers often show something in the range of +20-24 ° C. But at the end of the first month of summer, the weather in Essentuki is able to “give the heat” – for several days it can even be up to +28 ° C!
However, by tradition, a lot – about 150 mm of precipitation falls on the resort in a month. Although the number of clear or simply cloudy days still exceeds the number of rainy!
The average length of daylight hours is more than 15 hours. Which allows you to perform long -term wellness motions around the city. And without fear of spending the night in the mountains, get out in the nearest suburbs.

Essentuki in July
Little by little they dry, they see much more sun and less rain. The average monthly rainfall falls up to 110-120 mm, and about 9-10 days are inconspicuous. The air temperature prefers not to leave the range +20-30 ° C.
However, there is no need to wait for pronounced stability from the weather in Essentuki in July. And if the sun shines brightly on the street on the street, and the atmosphere is warmed up to +28-30 ° C, then in the other it will not be higher than +18-20 ° C and rain.
At night, it is better for you not to go out for a walk without dressing in a warm jacket. Since even after sunset, the temperature in Essentuki and in the middle of summer prefers to live in the range +15-18 ° C. And you will almost certainly feel how damp and cool the air becomes.
Old -timers associate this with the location of the resort in the lowland. What is difficult to guess, having studied reference information on Wikipedia, which says that “average heights in the city are about 600-650 m above sea level.”
However – and this is wonderful – such a deployment does not affect the healing properties of Essentuki. The air here is still remarkably fresh, and breathes easily. And mineral water, which can be tasted in the bulbs, is completely free, and is completely capable of doing miracles. If, of course, know the measure.
Essentuki in August
In general, August is the best month of summer in Essentuki. More fine and much less rainy (no more than 6-7 times) than his colleagues in the time of year.
In August, the air temperature in Essentuki during the day, for example, can generally decide that she likes the range about or even higher than +30 ° C. And at night the air remains warm up to +20-22 ° C, which is actually maximum for this area.
Of course, such hot August does not happen at the resort every year – at other air temperatures they do not want to overcome the mark of +25 ° C. But if you are going to relax and gain strength, you will even welcome it. Since you can fully implement both a wellness and a suburban excursion program.
What to take with you
What do they go to Essentuki in the summer? In different ways – it all depends on the mood of the weather!
Therefore, when collecting a suitcase, you do not need to trifle – take with you a sufficient number of warm things. Since, as mentioned above, the warm and cool evenings are a warm jacket or pulver will be like that found.
It is definitely worth stocking up with a waterproof windbreaker, a raincoat, and maybe even some kind of rubber shoes. Since I always want to walk here, and slight rain is unlikely to become an obstacle.
Again, such equipment can also be useful during distant excursions. Since in the summer tourists go to Dombay and are happy to explore the picturesque gorges in the Elbrus.
Do not forget to take bathing accessories with you – in Essentuki, maybe there is nowhere to swim, but you can do balneotherapy. Fans of swimming, perhaps, will want to go to the neighboring Pyatigorsk, where there is their own large lake. Although artificial origin, but clean, with a good infrastructure and ennobled the coastal zone.
Prices 2025
The flight from Moscow to mineral water and back on board the low -cost airline will cost at least 25 thousand rubles per passenger and his baggage. From another 1,500 you will have to pay for a taxi from the Mineralovodsk airport to Essentukov.
Well, or to experience the punctuality of local public transport. First get to mineral water and already from there (by bus or train) to leave for the resort.
Anyone who gets ready to go to the Caucasian mineral waters by car will be able to save – in the case of a family vacation, this is generally a round amount. In addition, in this case, it will be possible to plan a rich route of movements in the region and bring back a lot of souvenirs, goodies and even “utilities”!
The cost of a weekly ticket with accommodation and a full board, but without treatment, in one of the sanatoriums of Essentukov in June 2025, it starts with ~ 50 thousand rubles per 2 people (transportation costs are not included). You can rent a number in a guest house or even a separate apartment for 3-3.5 thousand rubles per day.
Prices for city excursions are weakly correlated with the time of year – one way or another, but in the summer months you are unlikely to count on a discount. A sightseeing walk around the city with a guide, for example, will cost 5-7 thousand rubles for a company up to 6-7 people. Excursion trip by car to Elbrus costs from 4 thousand, but already for one participant.
What to do
On the Internet, it is widespread that Essentuki are boring and as if not particularly well -groomed city. Which, however, does not detract from its main advantages: literally treating air and water, moderate vacation prices, as well as a successful one – in the sense of entertainment – location.
Indeed, if desired, you can only get to the “lights” of regional culture, Pyatigorsk and Kislovodsk in half an hour. Where there are museums and Philharmonic.
A trip to Zheleznovodsk will take a little time. Whose beautiful park and has not yet managed to wrap the palace of Emir of Bukhara, is almost not every first review.
Almost certainly you will study the resort park in the Essentuki in detail, as well as the interior of the Buvetes with mineral water No. 17 and No. 4. The monumental pompous building of Semashko muddles also belong to the landmark attractions of the resort. Inside which for very modest money, excursions are conducted.
In Pyatigorsk, you can visit the flower garden park, see a well -known failure, which was so successfully commercialized by Ostap Bender. Then visit the Lermontov House-Museum and climb Mount Mashuk.
Next to Kislovodsk, we recommend that you personally see such an interesting place as honey waterfalls. The connoisseurs of natural landscapes will probably be fascinated by the Berezovsky gorge.
A trip to the Bermamyt plateau from the category of exotic and even adrenaline measures in recent years has turned into compulsory entertainment for everyone who comes to rest on the Caucasian mineral waters. A wide “path” in the gorge of Jila-Su and the “Valley of Narzanov”, to the Chegem waterfalls, is equally beaten.
Above, we have already mentioned the desirability of visiting summer Dombay. The beautiful mountainous Territory, in recent years, with a successful “exclusively ski direction” getting rid of the label.
