The main and oldest street of Nizhny Novgorod - Big Pokrovskaya

Friends!

I invite you to walk along the main, legendary and oldest street of Nizhny Novgorod - Bolshaya Pokrovskaya. This street became pedestrian back in 1983 and since then it is the most favorite place for walking as Nizhny Novgorod residents and guests of the city.

During the 2-hour excursion you can:

• Immerse yourself in the 500-year history of Nizhny Novgorod
• to see the most beautiful merchant apartment houses of the 19th century, the oldest city Drama Theater, the huge pompezny building of the State Bank with facades of Ural marble, the house of the merchant Kostromina (the fates of the Nizhny Novgorod self-taught mechanic Ivan Kulibin and Empress Catherine II are surprisingly intertwined here)
• visit the building of the Noble Assembly (where Alexander Pushkin visited) and the State Bank of Russia (in May 1913 it was solemnly opened personally by Nicholas II).
• get acquainted with rare facts from the biographies of such famous Nizhny Novgorod people as writer Maxim Gorky, revolutionary Yakov Sverdlov and his brother Zinovy Peshkov, photographer-artist Maxim Dmitriev
• hear about the love story of the great Fyodor Chaliapin and his first wife Iola Tornaga
• find out that it was in Nizhny Novgorod that the plot of Gogol’s “Inspector” was born and what contribution to the development of Nzhny Novgorod the visit of Emperor Nicholas I and much more made.

Believe me, you will have enough impressions and amazing discoveries for the rest of the day!
