Close to Kremlin and Volga, river Bolshaia Pokrovskaia Street represents the main pedestrian street of Nizhny Novgorod. It offers many restaurants, bars, different monuments and souvenir shops.
You better reserve couple of hours for your visit since the fortress has much to offer. Namely a WW2 exhibition, an orthodox church, art museum and a beautiful panorama of Oka and Volga junction.
This venue hosts all the big events and festivals that take place in the city. It gets particularly beautiful when lit up at night.
Saint Alexander-Nevsky Cathedral with its 80 meters is the highest sacral building in Nizhny Novgorod. It was built in memory of the Emperor Alexander II., who visited the city.
