The city’s main embankment has undergone major improvements and is now a nexus of power, with benches, an amphitheater and an extensive cultural program. A sound alternative to Bolshaya Pokrovskaya and Rozhdestvenskaya streets, this is where most locals like to take a walk nowadays. It’s like Las Vegas on summer nights: everything is colorful and sparkling, with lots of children, people on bicycles and upbeat music. Renovated and improved for the 2018 FIFA World Cup, the embankment stretches for more than three kilometers along the banks of the Volga, making it a must for everyone who enjoys long trips, whether on foot or by bicycle.
