The museum itself is rather small but you can get impression on how it looked like to stay in WW2 submarine. It is possible to watch pictures and items of that time. It would be pretty interesting for the history lovers and maybe children. You can cross the whole submarine for 10 minutes, nothing more to check inside. It is a short run to Arsen'ev museum (a branch), a small church and the Vladimir Vysotsky (the Russian singer) musical monument.
Brilliant and amazing experience of submarine life in WW2. Set along side the harbor and close to other attractions of this truly wonderful city.
Believe it or not, I've actually toured 3 other submarines. In this one, you actually tour half the boat (basically 3 rooms), as the other half is a museum that's mostly photos. You get to see the torpedos and the engines, but the periscope doesn't work to look through. You do get a nice photo of the sub from outside, and it's worth visiting if you're in the city, but it's not a highlight.
Good location and easy to get to, other sites very close. The hours are ok. there is a small cathedral and park and some other famous structure I can't name right now. Worth a visit
I do not think it is interesting plase. No interesteng for view here. The submarin is, but no into to see. Not many interesting place in Vladivostok. Not very good hotels but very expencive.
This is a fantastic museum, a great insight into the people who served in the submarine and the actual insides of the submarine. The first half of this submarine are displays and photos but walk further towards the 2nd half and you will see the insides of a real Soviet submarine. Some people say the periscope works, but I wasn't able to see anything on it..
The sub was totally on land near the bay; I walked through the sub and found interesting information about its years of service. Displays show how crew lived and worked while under water. Interesting relic from the Cold War Era. It is obvious that the Russian sailors did not have an easy or soft life at sea.
the submarine on dry land was longer than you see today it is set in lovely grounds and is great for a photo opportunity
Yes, the first part is really boring with photos, medals, uniforms and the like (and only in Russian). But when you get into the real submarine area through the hatchways... wow! The control room with the periscope, the dining-room, the bunks and even the torpedo room! For me it was the highlight of Vladivostok... even though the sub is out of the water...
It is real submarine that participated in the Great Patriotic War (World War II). Visitors may come inside and feel a spirit of 40th of XX centuary.
