Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood

Built to memorialize Alexander II following his assassination in 1881, this magnificent church with Italian pink marble floors and numerous mosaics was modeled after 16th and 17th century churches, contrasting sharply with the prevailing architectural styles.

We went with Alla Tours while on a 24-hour stopover on our Norwegian Getaway Baltic cruise in August 2019. It was so crowded that we could hardly walk around! But, so gorgeously decorated inside, floor to ceiling filled with paintings, carvings, and very colorful mosaics! It is not a working church but just a tourist site.

Strangely shaped cliffs lure locals and tourists to this popular park, which offers hiking and a wonderful retreat from the city.

Me and my travel mate visited Stolby with a local guide named Pawel in the Winter. The nature is just amazing and very fascinating rock formations. The Stolby it's a must see when you are in Krasnoyarks. Its just a 20 min bus ride away from the city.

Kazan Kremlin

The historic fortress dating back to the 16th to 19th centuries.

Reviewed By 30vladimirr - Moscow, Russia

Kazan Kremlin, an amazing historical place, on the banks of the Volga River. the walls and towers of the Kremlin are very well preserved. The Kremlin itself in architecture is very similar to the Pskov Kremlin. Also white towers and walls, also round towers. I liked the building very much. It was in winter, a cold wind was blowing from the river, it was -23 Celsius, snow was falling, so we moved from museum to museum. On the territory of the Kremlin, there is a museum of the history of this break off and the emergence of the Kazan Khanate in the beginning, and so on. I recommend to visit those who are fond of history, like me).

National park Curonian Spit

Reviewed By nevzatv2014 - Ankara, Turkey

I admire Curonian Spit, perhaps one of the most amazing and impressive natural beauties of Lithuania, and the effort to protect it. This area, also called the Sahara of the Baltic Sea and included in the UNESCO World Heritage List, consists of about 90 km long narrow saber-shaped dunes that divide the Curonian Lagoon from the Baltic Sea. Curonian Spit and its surroundings is a national park that is very well protected by the state. In this national park created with pine trees that people have planted with their hands for years, they have carefully lived more than 30 species of endangered birds and more than 800 different plants. I can say that I have never seen such a good visuality anywhere else in the world. The charming town of Nida and the small "Ethnographic Homestead of Fisherman" named fishing house museum, "Gintaro Galerija Muziejus" named amber museum and "the Horizontal Granite Sundial" are also worth visiting in Curonian Spit.

I live in NN and I love this zoo so much. First of all, there are a lot of different animals. Animals are really friendly and funny. You can buy some food and feed them here. P.S. But be careful with goats. They really like eating, so they can run after you to get some food.
