Kremlin is a wonderful building, which fascinates visitors with its majesty and calm atmosphere. Historical museums inside Kremlin are great for those, who interested in antiquity. I highly recommend visit this place if you have never been there :)

The embankment of Volga river in Astrakhan has changed dramatically over years. Where's a nice walkway with railings to enjoy the views of the river and many statues thrown around for a good measure used to be a public beach with dinghies ferrying people between two sides of the Volga river. It's good that there's a public space for a walk, but I can't imagine taking a stroll in midst of Astrakhan hot summer - no trees to shade you anywhere around. Also, the views aren't that spectacular - port on one side and quite a mess of old houses and trees across the river.

The theatre provides the ability to create not only Performances of any complexity, but also to organize socially important events: appointments, meetings, Exhibitions and so on.
The infrastructure around the theatre is unique. The theatre is situated in the park, which is currently planned to redesign on the basis of historical drawings. The botanical garden with many Fountains, pools, Playgrounds for children and labyrinths will be there.
The theatre district of the town is formed there, which could be compared with such temples of world theatrics as La Scala in Milan (Italy), Covent Garden in London (UK), Grand Opera in Paris (France) etc. Thus, the Astrakhan State Music Theatre is a large complex, a place of cultural recreation and education of Astrakhan citizens and guests.

I had a guide/friend that took me to the Astrakhan embankment to show me the music Fountain. It is quite interesting thing, but it is not playing all the time I've been told. You need some luck (as I did) to get there when it is actually playing music.
There is a classic music (Russian composers I assume) playing from speakers and the Fountain is squirting water in the rhythm.
There was a wedding going on when I was there... It is a popular spot between couples for taking wedding photos there.

Каждый раз, когда бываю рядом, восхищаюсь красотой! Даже до реставрации дом выделялся, а после из него сделали нечто волшебное! Интересно смотреть как снаружи, так и изнутри. Огромное спасибо сотрудникам музея, что делают интересные экскурсии для детей и взрослых, где можно многое потрогать, сделать фотографии.

Наряду с другими достопримечательностями Астрахани стоит не пожалеть времени на посещение картинной галереи им. П.М. Догадина. Здесь собрана замечательная коллекция русского и зарубежного искусства. Время, проведенное в этом музее, пролетит незаметно, даже если над Астраханью жара за 40 град.С
