This is a very important historic site worth reading about before seeing. There had been competing centers of power at the turn of the last millennium between Novgorod, Kiev, and Moscow. Ivan the Terrible was brutal to the occupants of Novgorod. We had a guide who gave us the history of the long past and of the occupation by Nazis during WWII. The Kremlin is the chief attraction of the city which is somewhat neglected compared to St. Petersburg and Moscow. The Kremlin itself is free but do get a guide.

Shaped like a bell and surrounded by 128 bronze figures, this monument to Russia's millennium honors the politicians and other people who most contributed to the development of the country between 862 and 1862.
This monument is really great and definitely must-see of the Great Novgorod. All the Russian history is on it.

One of the oldest stone buildings in Russia, this magnificent cathedral is considered to be the symbol of the city, and was once the hiding place for Novgorod's treasury.
St. Sophia Cathedral is the religious building most important in Kremlin of Veliky Novgorod and provably in all Novgorod, a city located almost 200km to the South-East from Saint Petersburg. It is a very important historical city in Russia, so the Kremlin is wonderful. Inside the Kremlin, there are the Cathedral and other buildings. The Cathedral is a typical religious orthodox building: a white facade and some domes on too, the most important golden and the other ones blue. Also, in the inner hall of the cathedral, you can see fantastic frescos: the full building is wonderful. (see also Novgorod Kremlin)

It is one of the best beaches in Kaliningrad Region. The access to the water is flat and also suitable for families with children. There is white clean sand. The promenade with several cafes is beautiful and also worth for walk, when not going swimming. You have direct access to the beach.
