Veliky Novgorod is one of the oldest and most atmospheric cities in Russia, where history and modern living space intertwine. Here you can feel the breath of medieval Russia: the narrow streets of the Trade side, the monumental walls of the Novgorod Kremlin and the quiet banks of the Volkhov create a unique flavor. The city is known for its chronicle events, artistic traditions and a unique combination of architectural eras.
Man-made sights of Novgorod are rich and diverse: the Novgorod Kremlin (a baby) with the St. Sophia Cathedral and its famous bells, loopholes and travel towers - Vladimir, Fedorovskaya, Metropolitan, Zlatoust and White; the monument "Millennium of Russia" and the Victory Monument on the central Victory Square; the Alexander Nevsky Bridge, ancient temples - the Church of John the Foreigner on Opok, the Church of Vlassia, the Assumption Church on the Volotov Field, Boris-Pala and many others. In the vicinity there are ancient monasteries and monasteries - Antoniev, Yuriev, Khutyn, Nikolo-Vyazhyshchi and Rdei monasteries, as well as the Novgorod Museum-Reserve with a rich exhibition of antiquities and folk art.
The natural pearls of the region complement the urban picture: the calm banks of the Volkhov and Luga rivers, the Shum Mountain mound on the Luga River, Rdeiskoye Lake and Lake Myachino in the vicinity of Arkazhey, picturesque forests and lake landscapes of the Valdai hills in close proximity. Embankments and city parks invite you to walk by the water, and the surrounding forests and lakes offer privacy and the opportunity to see the untouched nature of the Novgorod land.
