Smolensk is a city with a thousand-year history and a powerful character, known as an important outpost in western Russia. Its labyrinth of streets, fortress walls and cathedral hills retain traces of ancient events and artistic eras, and the atmosphere combines the patina of antiquity and living modernity. Here it is easy to feel the connection of times: from pre-Mongol temples to monuments associated with the Patriotic War and cultural heroes of the country.
Man-made sights of Smolensk impress with diversity: the majestic Smolensk Kremlin with the Thunder Tower, the Cathedral Mountain and the Holy Dormition Cathedral form the historical center. The city has monuments to Mikhail Glinka, Fedor Kony, Alexander Tvardovsky and Vasily Terkin, Mikhail Kutuzov and the defenders of Smolensk in 1812. Among the cultural sites are Lopatinsky Garden, Blonje Garden, the Bridge of Love, numerous monasteries and churches of the pre-Mongol period, Talashkino estates, Syr-Lipki and Apolje, as well as museums and memorial houses of famous figures.
The natural corners of Smolensk and its surroundings create a pleasant contrast with the architecture: Lake Chistik with an area of 0.54 km2, a maximum depth of up to 21 m and a height above sea level of about 182 m, as well as the Smolensk reservoir with an area of 6.86 km2 and a depth of up to 11 m offer quiet promenades and opportunities for walking. Forests, rivers, hills around the cathedral hills and well-kept city parks invite for leisurely walks and photo walks, and nearby you can find picturesque estates and rural landscapes for day trips.
