Saratov is a city on the Volga with a rich history, an industrial past and a warm provincial atmosphere. Its appearance was formed over centuries: from shopping streets and merchant mansions of the XIX century to Soviet monuments and modern embankments. There is a special connection with the river: The Volga sets the rhythm of life, and the neighboring islands and hills create picturesque panoramas that you want to remember forever.
The man-made sights of Saratov amaze with diversity: Kirov Avenue and German Street with merchant buildings, Moscow Street and the Covered Market of the early XX century, the K. K. Reineke mansion and the Zhigulev Brewery as examples of urban history. In the architectural and spiritual landscape stand out the Temple "Satisfy my sorrows", Trinity Cathedral and Holy Trinity Cathedral, and on the embankment and parks there are numerous monuments - from the harmonist to the T-34 tank. The Lipki Parks, the Victory Park on Sokolovaya Hill and the renovated Culture Park of the Proletarian District create an open-air museum and saturate the city with events and walks.
The natural corners around Saratov are not inferior to the city treasures: the Saratov reservoir and the wide expanses of the Volga, the Blue Lake in the Engels district, the Big and Small Uzen rivers with quiet lanes and picturesque banks. The embankment of Cosmonauts, the city beach on the Pokrovsky Sands and the green groves of Sokolovaya Mountain are the best places for walking and relaxing in nature. The surrounding landscapes hide the archaeological traces of the settlement of Uvek and give an idea of the deep history of the region.
