Nizhny Novgorod. The Most Beautiful Places

This album is a detailed, richly illustrated story about the large ancient Volga city of Nizhny Novgorod. It is addressed to a wide audience of readers and curious travelers. The book allows one to better imagine the 800-year-old city in all its diversity of districts, streets, squares, and embankments.

Together with the author, we suggest taking a stroll through popular places among guests of Nizhny and outlining new routes. This walk can be taken both mentally and in reality, comparing one's impressions with the author's narrative and numerous illustrations. Start by getting to know one of the best-preserved medieval fortresses in Russia – Nizhny Novgorod Kremlin with its legends, museums, and views of the Volga expanses from the edge of the slope. Pay attention to the beauty of the ancient, now pedestrian Bolshaya Pokrovskaya Street with its theater, bank, and rental houses from the past.

Mentally immerse yourself in the world of merchant luxury on the Upper Volga Embankment and Christmas Street. Discover or choose places for walking and contemplation – serene ancient monastic cloisters, the eclectic district of Zapochaine, impressive Volga and Oka embankments, the 800th Anniversary Park where sunsets are watched, and the confluence of the Volga and Oka with its modern cultural spaces.

The pages of this edition maximally showcase the uniqueness of the city on the banks of two rivers, including the legendary old Sormovo and avant-garde Avtozavodsky working districts, nature-preserved houses and quarters with partially preserved cozy and human-scaled wooden architecture.

For the attentive, thoughtful reader, Nizhny Novgorod will unfold in all its diversity of history and modernity.
