Sights of Astrakhan
Unusual sights of Astrakhan
- Monument to the wobla-nurse: presented in the form of a bronze roach floating on the waves, which is installed on a rotating base (the roach saved a lot of people from hunger during the Great Patriotic War).
- Fountain "Wedding Waltz": this unusual fountain is located on the Volga embankment and represents 2 rings intertwined with each other, through which a water stream "beats". It is considered a good omen to take a picture against the background of the beautiful fountain “Wedding Waltz”, especially in the evening when the lights are turned on.
- "Valley of the Centaur": is an unfinished fire ground where local climbers train today, and young people spend their time enjoying the games "Encounter" and "Dozor".
What interesting places to visit in Astrakhan?
From the reviews of the Astrakhan people, we can conclude that it will be interesting for travelers to visit the Museum of Local Lore (the exposition acquaints guests with the nature of the Astrakhan Territory, the history and culture of its peoples; there is also the Armory Chamber with military ammunition and weapons, the “Fish of the Volga-Caspian Basin” hall, exhibition "Gold of nomads") and the House-Museum of sturgeon (guests are invited to look at newspaper articles, paintings, fishing gear, caviar banks, as well as beluga, sturgeon, stellate sturgeon and other fish swimming in aquariums).
Those who want to take a break from the hustle and bustle are advised to go to Swan Lake (you can approach it along the equipped slopes). There are benches, lanterns that light up in the evening, and in the center there is a small island with a rotunda, where only newlyweds can get there on weekends to create unforgettable photographs. You can also admire the reservoir with swans floating in it from the observation deck installed near the nearby planetarium (here you can not only get closer to the stars and learn how huge the Universe is, but also visit the Aviation Development exhibition with more than 70 aircraft models).
For entertainment, it makes sense to go to the Planet Park (the map of the park is shown on the website www.parkplaneta.ru). Having ridden the rides "Sparta", "Ermak", "Swans", "Whirlwind" and others, as well as visiting "Kino XD" (visitors are immersed in 3D reality) and the Frenzy Farm (here everyone can get to know the goats, piglets and other pets), it is worth having a bite to eat at the Klevoe mesto restaurant. On the territory of the restaurant there is a 22-meter tower "Richard the Lionheart" (suitable for photo shoots and panoramic views), and its menu includes dishes of Russian, Eastern, Ukrainian and European cuisines.
