Publisher's Synopsis
In the heart of the central part of Russia, in the place where the two great rivers Oka and Volga merge together, stands the famous Russian city of Nizhny Novgorod. It harmoniously combines the spirit of Russian antiquity and adherence to traditions with a modern rhythm of life and rapid development. Let's take a little trip around this city - we will see the Kremlin, the monument to Minin and Pozharsky, admire the panorama of the famous Strelka. Then we will walk along the Nizhny Novgorod Arbat - Bolshaya Pokrovskaya street, we will count the steps on the Chkalov staircase, and then see a scenic sunset on one of the embankments of Nizhny Novgorod. And that's not all. It would be a great delusion to believe that the sights of the city end there and that he has nothing more to surprise you with. Numerous estates, ancient temples and monasteries, trips around the Nizhny Novgorod region to the homeland of the Khokhloma and Gorodetsky paintings and much more await you in this abundant, generous and hospitable city.
