Main city streets

The central hill is a place perfect for relaxation and seclusion.
The most beautiful and famous square in the city is Admiral Nakhimov Square, located next to Lenin Street, Grafskaya Pier and Primorsky Boulevard. City celebrations and holidays are held in this place. Nakhimov Square turns into a small Lazarev Square, built up with houses around the perimeter.
