You really must see Volga at least once in your life. And better to see it in Nizhny Novgorod.
This is one way to get your heart rate up. It takes you up the hill from the river (near a small boat statue) to the Kremlin and town up above.(maybe you should take it down) Watch out for holes through some of the steps. This is in need of maintenance but a worthwhile place to visit and to climb! Great views abound.
560 staircase - one more place of rendezvous. romantic place, nice view & the main place of all concerts!
First of all, this unique landmark as the Eiffel Tower: beautiful when you're not on it, and watch from afar. On the other hand - is a convenient route between the waterfront and the Kremlin, if you have the strength to walk the hundreds of steps.
Take ur pick..U wanna climb up or u wanna go down..!! Anyways this staircase is just wy too long...so take breaks i between and click pics of the picturesque backdrop of the Kremlin, rivers etc..!!
One must take this challenge and walk up the staircase.The best view on it is, however, from the river, so it's possible to enjoy it only in summer.
The staircase is a very interesting shape but does need a visit during summer months with the best views of it from the Volga. Intend to do this later this year, its a great link between the centre of Nizhny and the Volga.
When I was there - it has been restoring. But I tried to walk upstairs during my previous visit. It is not easy, but very interesting. The view to the rivers and kremlin is different from each part af the staircase. And don't forget, that doctors advice to do upstairs on foot!
The statue is not the masterpiece. But the river view, view on Kremlin is great, plus Verkhnevolzhskaya Embankment starts here.
Soul taking place and with plenty of young people (most of them students) around. Of course it is much more comfortable and milder when you are here while the temperature is high. Volga river nearby makes the winds unbearable in a cold times (which means from October till April). Great view at the river.
