Saratov

Below is a list of the most interesting attractions in the city:

1. Saratov State Conservatory named after. Sobinova

The most famous landmark of Saratov is, of course, the Conservatory. Sobinova. The building was erected in 1902 and from the very beginning was dedicated to culture; a music school was located here. At first glance, the building will seem like a Gothic mansion; the sounds of the organ coming from the open windows add a special charm to this place.

2. Sokolovaya Mountain. Victory Park, “Cranes” stela

Be sure to visit Victory Park on Sokolova Mountain. This unique memorial complex is always listed as the first item on the excursion program for official delegations. First of all, Victory Park is an open-air museum of military equipment. Built for the 30th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War, the museum includes examples of military equipment, including tanks, installations, a train, and there are even trenches in which children play. Secondly, on the territory of the park there is a stela “Cranes” - a tribute to the memory of those killed in the war. The stela is located on one of the highest points of the city - on the top of Sokolovaya Mountain. It is clearly visible from the city center. From the foot of the stele there is a stunning view of the city and the Volga. Thirdly, on the territory of Sokolovaya Gora there is a “National Village” - a government project aimed at introducing residents to the culture and traditions of nationalities, and in the Saratov region there are more than 134 of them. Each farmstead in the village is a national hut, which appears as a mini-museum.

3. Cosmonauts Embankment

Saratovskaya embankment is the heart of the city. A few years ago it increased by another 700 meters in length, and has now become one of the longest in the Volga region. There are many recreational areas: squares, benches, summer cafes and verandas, a small amusement park. The new embankment, which starts from the Rotunda (Babushkin Vzvoz) towards the Zavodsky district, has become an open-air gallery. The Volga Wave interregional graffiti festivals took place here in 2014 and 2015. Several dozen artists from all over the country depicted the history of the city in an individual manner, talking about people and events associated with Saratov. Next to the realistic portrait of Yankovsky are artistic reflections on the work of Petrov-Vodkin, behind the reproduction of Klochkov’s portrait is the radiant smile of Gagarin, who first took off into the sky from Saratov soil. Few people know that the names of great writers, scientists and artists are associated with Saratov, and Repin was inspired by the plot of “Barge Haulers” while in the Saratov environs. In a word, the “Volga Wave” gallery was to the taste of residents and guests of the city, presenting windows into the history of Saratov.

4. City Park
