Krasnoyarsk is a city with a special atmosphere that will leave vivid impressions at any time of the year. You can see a fairytale winter here: snow-white snowdrifts, snow-covered forest, New Year’s lights and the steaming Yenisei.
Frosty air is not a hindrance, the main thing is to dress warmly and take a hot drink with you.
The excursion route runs from Theater Square, past the Krasnoyarsk River Station to Mira Square. You will see the mighty full-flowing Yenisei, the width of which in the Krasnoyarsk region reaches 2.4 km, and picturesque bridges across the river. By the way, one of them – Kommunalny – is depicted on the 10-ruble banknote.
You will walk through the historical center of the city: past theaters, museums, monuments, architectural landmarks and old houses, each of which has written its own page in the history of Krasnoyarsk. For example, the local history museum has Napoleon’s autograph, and the ship museum has the cabin where Vladimir Lenin lived. You will find out why newlyweds go to the Tsar Fish monument, how many times the chimes on the Krasnoyarsk Big Ben tower sound, and when the cannon on Karaulnaya Hill fires.
Connoisseurs of mystical places and landscape photos choose a walking tour to the favorite vacation spot of Krasnoyarsk residents – the Torgashinsky Ridge. The 1.2 km climb goes along the longest staircase in Russia, which consists of 1,683 steps. Throughout the climb, you are accompanied by signs with interesting facts and the number of steps climbed.
