Nizhny Novgorod

Nizhny Novgorod combines the scale of a Volga metropolis with the close grain of an old merchant city, reflecting its position where the Oka meets the Volga. The red-brick Nizhny Novgorod Kremlin, built in the early 16th century, crowns the high bank above the rivers and remains the historic core. Below it, the Chkalov Staircase descends toward the Volga embankment, while Bolshaya Pokrovskaya Street brings together pedestrian city life, theatres and historic façades. Long a trading centre on Russia’s great river route, the city was also the birthplace of writer Maxim Gorky.
