Fedorovsky Embankment

Reviewed By kkgreen269 - Moscow, Russia

This is one of the best places to observe sunsets in the city. The amazing view on the two rivers and the “Strelka”, when Oka becames to Volga. Also you could see all down districts of the city with football stadium, Alexander Nevsky cathedral and “Yarmarka” (old fair’s building).

Limpopo Zoo

Reviewed By lesyax - Nizhny Novgorod, Russia

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.

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.

Museum of Wooden Architecture

One of the first museums of the wooden architecture in Russia. Here you can see a variety of peasant buildings of 18-19 cent, and the exhibitions about peasants household. It also can be regarded as a park.

Reviewed By dimitrys2020 - Moscow, Russia

True buildings of 17-19 century showing real life of Russian people in the village. Nice walk and sightseeing. Please be ready for 1,5-2 hour walk. Ipatiev Monestery is close by. So you can combine both easily.

Imperial Palace

Reviewed By Alexander_Kudrin - Samara, Russia

Unfortunately, I was not able to visit the inside of the palace. I had to confine myself to an external examination at night. Nevertheless, the building of the palace with two pavilions, built in 1764-1766 in the classicism style with baroque elements, is impressive.
