About Nizhny Novgorod

The city that has kept its spirit of old times. Anyone who happens to walk along the streets of Nizhny Novgorod seems to be carried a hundred years ago. Narrow lanes with wooden houses perfectly fit into a modern megalopolis. Landmark of the city — Bolshaya Pokrovskaya street — is a multi-kilometer pedestrian zone that leads to the centre of Nizhny Novgorod — the Kremlin. Fortress walls stretch for two kilometers. There is the highest embankment situated there — with a beautiful view of the confluence of two great rivers — the Volga and the Oka, on two banks of which the amazing city is settled. The gorgeous landscape is impressive.

Nizhny Novgorod is the only ancient city in Russia, founded by an orthodox Saint. It appeared in 1221 in a remarkably beautiful place due to Faithful Saint Grand Prince Georgy Vsevolodovich. Until now magnificent cathedrals, monasteries, convents and churches are the main landmarks of the city. The domes glisten in the sun and clear sounds of bells delight residents of Nizhny Novgorod and its guests. Where is it?
