Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:
Nizhny Novgorod is a large and vibrant city that is situated on the winding Volga River in western Russia. The city is known for the Nizhny Novgorod Kremlin, a 16th-century fortress that now serves as a Russian monument for defensive architecture. Though less cosmopolitan than St. Petersburg or Moscow, the city’s geographical position, pleasant pedestrian promenade, and magnificent views of the Oka and Volga rivers, give the city quite a bit of appeal. Travelers visiting for the first time will have a plethora of magnificent attractions to choose from, such as Limpopo Zoo, Fedorovsky Embankment, Galileo Park, State Bank, Chkalov Staircase, and the Cathedral of St. Alexander Nevskiy.
