What to see in Saratov in 1 day on your own

Most of the main attractions of Saratov are located in its central, historical part. For the first acquaintance, it is enough to see them in order to form a preliminary impression of the city and, perhaps, plan future trips.

Kirov Avenue

Kirov Avenue is one of the central streets of Saratov and the main tourist street of the city; in the 19th century it was called “Nevsky Prospekt” of Saratov. The street appeared on city maps a little more than two centuries ago. At that time, German colonists, invited by Catherine II to develop the rich Volga region, settled here, as well as captured Frenchmen after the Patriotic War of 1812. They called the street Nemetskaya, and it bore this name until the February Revolution of 1917, after which it became the Street of the Republic. In March 1935, in memory of S. M. Kirov, the street was renamed to Avenue named after him. Since 1983, the street has become pedestrian.

Of course, over two centuries the street was built up and rebuilt, but buildings from the second half of the 19th - early 20th centuries have been preserved here, most of which are on the city’s cultural heritage lists. This is the house of P. A. Nikitin, one of the owners of the Saratov Circus, the monumental building of the former Astoria Hotel, the Manege shopping complex, built according to the design of the famous Saratov architect A. M. Salko, the magnificent building of the Saratov Conservatory and many others. Here are also the famous monuments to the “Saratov accordion” and the song “So many golden lights.”

Saratov Conservatory named after. L. V. Sobinova

On Kirov Avenue, at the very beginning, there is a building that looks like a fairy-tale castle. This is the State Conservatory named after L.V. Sobinov . It was founded in 1912 on the initiative of the local branch of the Imperial Russian Musical Society and named Alekseevskaya in honor of Tsarevich Alexei. This was the third conservatory opened in Russia; the Russian composer S.V. Rachmaninov stood at its origins. It’s not for nothing that the square opposite the conservatory is named after him. The voices of Fyodor Chaliapin and Leonid Sobinov were heard in the Great Hall of the Conservatory.

The conservatory building was built in 1902 according to the design of the St. Petersburg architect A. Yu. Yang for a music school, but its appearance was more than once criticized, compared to an elevator. When they decided to place a conservatory here, the City Duma announced a competition for a project to reconstruct the building. The conservatory owes its modern appearance to the architect S. A. Kallistratov, who won the competition. Thanks to him, pointed window frames, paired columns ending at the top with spiers, singing chimeras, owls - a symbol of wisdom, and Gothic towers appeared on the façade. The building of the conservatory has become a decoration of the city and one of its calling cards.

Church "Quiet My Sorrows"

This small church in the pedestrian tourist area of the city attracts the attention of city visitors with its bright, colorful domes, similar to the domes of Moscow's St. Basil's Cathedral. The church was built in 1904–1906 at the bishop's house according to the design of the Saratov architect P. M. Zybin. There was one throne - in honor of the icon of the Mother of God “Consolation in sorrows and sorrows”, and the people called the church “Quench my sorrows”.

In 1930, the church was closed, and then the building, as usual, was used for other purposes. At first it was converted into a Mother and Child Club, and later a planetarium was opened there, so it was well preserved. In 1990, the building was returned to the diocese, the interior was renovated, a bell tower was built, and icons were purchased. In 1993, the main altar of the temple was consecrated in honor of the icon of the Mother of God “Quench My Sorrows.” In 2004, on the basis of the parish of the temple, the Bishop's Compound was organized.

theatre square

Theater Square , located at the intersection of the most important central streets of the city, is the main square of Saratov, the place of city holidays and celebrations. At the beginning of the 19th century it was a trading area called Khlebnaya. Moskovskaya Street divided it into two parts, the northern part was occupied by the trading buildings of the Upper Bazaar, and on the southern part of the square a small theater was built in 1810, after which it received the name Teatralnaya. During the years of Soviet power, it became known as Revolution Square, worker demonstrations took place here on May 1 and November 7, and in 1970 a monument to V.I. Lenin was erected.

There are many interesting and noteworthy things on Teatralnaya Square. Here is the government of the Saratov region, two buildings of the A. N. Radishchev Art Museum , several monuments, the Life-Giving Spring chapel , as well as many historical and architectural monuments. For example, a beautiful building with a lion on the pediment deserves attention - the Saratov City Hall.

The Saratov Academic Opera and Ballet Theater is located on the square . The first stone theater on the square was built in 1865. At first it was dramatic, and from 1890 the theater began to stage opera performances. In 1969, the building was completely rebuilt; now it is again undergoing large-scale reconstruction. Take a look at the little park to the left of the main façade of the theater; it bears the name of Oleg Tabakov. Here you can see a monument to Oleg Tabakov in the role of Oleg Savin from the movie “Noisy Day”, and the cat Matroskin sits nearby.

Museum Square

Museum Square is the founding site of modern Saratov. At the beginning of the 17th century, the city was moved here from the left bank of the Volga, and its center began to form here. At first the square was called Gostinaya, since there were shopping arcades on it, called Gostiny Dvor. In 1689, the Trinity Cathedral was founded on the square, and soon the square was renamed Cathedral.

Since 1931, the square has been called Museum Square, probably due to the fact that unique architectural monuments of museum significance have been preserved on the square: the building of the Ryazan-Ural Railway Administration, the Ustinov mansion, which is occupied by the Saratov Regional Museum of Local History, the building of the Theological School, where N. G. Chernyshevsky, building of the public school of the late 18th century and others.

Holy Trinity Cathedral

The Holy Trinity Cathedral, standing on Museum Square, is the only monument of the 17th century in the region and the oldest building in Saratov. The first wooden Trinity Cathedral was built on this site in 1674–1675; it burned down after not standing for ten years. Construction of the stone temple began in 1695. First, the construction of the lower church in the name of the Dormition of the Mother of God was completed; the construction of the upper church was delayed, but the temple was completely completed by 1701.

The history of the Holy Trinity Cathedral is rich in events; it burned down several times and was even closed due to disrepair for five years. The unusual design of the temple is explained by the fact that at the end of the 18th century it needed strengthening and cracks appeared in the walls. To strengthen the building, M. A. Ustinov, who lived nearby, used his own money to put buttresses under the walls, and so that it would not seem ugly, they built a covered gallery around it. This temple in the Moscow Baroque style is two-story and has two aisles. In the upper church - in the name of the Holy Life-Giving Trinity, in the lower one - in honor of the Dormition of the Mother of God.

Cosmonauts Embankment

The length of the embankments in Saratov already exceeds 4 kilometers, and they continue to be built. If you only have one day left, it’s worth getting acquainted with the oldest site - Cosmonauts Embankment . The Cosmonauts Embankment stretches from Babushkin Vzvoz to the Saratov Bridge, its length is 1.5 kilometers. Now it is difficult to imagine that in the 18th - 19th centuries there was no embankment in Saratov at all. In the coastal part there were narrow streets lined with houses of porters and other working people. The question of the need to build an embankment arose more than once, but the matter only got off the ground in 1949.

The Cosmonauts Embankment is made in four tiers. The first tier is a walking alley along the Volga. Here, near Grandma's carriage, there is a Rotunda and a Monument to Lovers. Perennial flowers are planted on the second tier, and a boulevard with a shady alley is created on the third. The fourth tier of the embankment borders residential buildings. Here, in the 1950s, houses were built in the Stalinist Empire style, which have been decorating the city for many years. From the embankment there is a magnificent view of the road bridge across the Volga.

Saratov Bridge

This road bridge is called the symbol of the capital of the Volga region; it connects the right bank of the Volga, where Saratov is located, and the left bank, where the city of Engels is located. The bridge, 2825.8 meters long and 15 meters wide, was considered the longest in Europe at the time of its opening in 1965. The author of a unique project in bridge construction is Witold Iodzevich. The bridge has different span heights; closer to Saratov, the bridge is higher, since there are spans intended for the passage of ships.

The bridge has four lanes for vehicles, as well as two sidewalks for pedestrians. In the summer, buses from Saratov to Engels and back stop on the bridge. Unusual? Just under the bridge on the island of Pokrovskie Sands is the most popular city beach in Saratov, a favorite summer recreation area for the townspeople.

The Saratov Bridge is beautiful at any time of the day or year, but it is better to come see it in the evening, when the lights are turned on.

Saratov Circus

Do you know that the history of the Russian circus is inextricably linked with Saratov? The founders of the first circus in Russia were the brothers Dmitry, Akim and Pyotr Nikitin. In 1873, they opened the Ice Palace in Penza - the first stationary circus in the country, and three years later - a circus in Saratov, having bought the building from local entrepreneur Emmanuel Baranek. This building served until 1928, only Russian artists performed in the arena here, this was the Nikitins’ condition. On Kirov Avenue you can see the house of the Nikitin brothers ; it can be recognized by the caryatids supporting the corner bay window.

The new stone building of the Saratov Circus, designed by the architect B. S. Vilensky, the author of the Aeroport, Krasnoselskaya and Partizanskaya metro stations in Moscow, was opened in 1931. It was in Saratov that the clowns Mikhail Rumyantsev “Pencil” and Oleg Popov, who was called the Sunny Clown, began their creative journey, and trainers Mstislav and Walter Zapashny worked. In 1998, a major reconstruction of the circus building was carried out, now it is one of the best circuses in Russia, with unique technical capabilities. The last reconstruction of the building was completed quite recently, in 2022.

Victory Park

Victory Park is another attraction of Saratov, where all local residents definitely recommend visiting. The park is located on Sokolova Mountain, rising in the north-east of the city and quite visible from the central, historical part of the city. This is a historical and patriotic complex, where there is a lot of interesting things: monuments, the “Museum of Military and Labor Glory” , an extensive open-air exhibition of military and other equipment, the open-air museum “National Village of the Peoples of the Saratov Region” .

The park in the form in which it can be seen now was created gradually over many years. It was founded on Sokolova Gora in 1975, in the year of the 30th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War, which is why it received this name.

The main attraction of the park is the memorial to the Saratov heroes who died during the Great Patriotic War, and the 40-meter-high “Cranes” monument. These are three pylons forty meters high with a wedge of cranes flying to the west. The memorial was inaugurated on May 9, 1982. The author of the project is Honored Architect of Russia, Honorary Citizen of Saratov Yu. I. Menyakin, who went through the entire war, was awarded many orders and medals, and was wounded, so the topic of war was close to him like no one else.

Sokolovaya Mountain is the highest point in Saratov; there are several observation platforms . Even if you only have one day, take the time to climb Sokolovaya Mountain, see the Cranes, and look down on the city from above.
