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.

Reviewed By abrogers2001 - Perth, Australia
The town was definitely cleaned up for the Soccer World Cup and nowhere more so than this street. It features everything from small bars and cafes, to luxury designer shops. There are quite a few places to buy souvenirs if that is your thing, but in any case it is an exciting place to stroll on a Saturday evening. One thing that hasn’t adjusted since the World Cup are the prices, so go somewhere else if you want better value. The street leads straight through many of the main tourist attractions and is the commercial hub of the city. There is a lot of street art and some signs in English.
9. The Kremlin

The Nizhny Novgorod Kremlin, the monument of history and culture of the world. Erected in the early 16th century to protect the Eastern borders of the Russian state, he never surrendered to the enemy! It is at the walls of the Nizhny Novgorod Kremlin 400 years ago our countrymen at the call of Kuzma Minin joined forces for the expulsion of the invaders from Moscow.

Nizhny Novgorod was founded in of around 1221. The entire population could fit within the walled Kremlin, or capital, with several lookout and defensive towers. I am sure Nizhny Novgorod was attacked, but it does not appear to have been overtaken. The city also boasts one of the most striking tableaus of Nizhny Novgorod's addition to World War II, with and area for equipment constructed and used in the area. There is also a very powerful wall of soldiers lost in WWII. And down near the Volga River is an eternal flame for the unknown soldier. Very powerful. The views are beautiful and it is close proximity to city center.
