I visited Samara in June 2019. Samara Embankment is a nice place to walk. There are two-three very wide walkways going in parallel. A lot of small cafes and fast food booths, bike and scooter rentals are along the walkways. You can see a lost of street artists along the Embankment. Violins, guitars, drums, saxophones etc... ot from ti,e to time even orchestras! On the Volga beach right next to the Embankment you can see many volleyball courts, tennis courts and other sport sites.

Along many airplanes, tanks, missiles, guns and other military equipment you can see here one of the biggest diesel-electric submarine in the world, B-307. To find such a steel monster sleeping in this big complex was a really nice thing to see. Not so many people get the chance to see a live military submarine, especially on ground. Submarine B-307, Tango class, 91m long and 2000t weight is one of the biggest diesel engine submarines ever built found is rest in Sakharov Technical Museum after a one year and half trip on ground. Very interesting the story about how this huge submarine after a 2246km long trip on water from Kronstadt, near Sank Petersburg found its place in Sakharov Technical Museum in Togliatti. From Togliatti docks up to actual location i took about one year and a half for moving the steel beast without dissembling it, special road it was made by local authorities for this special operation. The submarine can be visited also inside but only with a guide and only at certain times...you can check the schedule before paying a visit. This time i didn't had got the chance to visit inside but next time i will go just for this visit. Also you can see live tanks like T-34, T-55, T-80, IS-3, ISU-152, Katyusha Rocket Launcher and many more. Planes like: MIG-31, MIG-29, Sukhoi SU-24, TU-16 , YAK-27P and many more. Helicopters: MiL-26, MiL-24, MiL-6 and many more. If you visit Togliatti and you have a passion for technology and army this is a must see place!

8. Garibaldi Castle

4.5 based on 55 reviews
Garibaldi Castle. Boasting soaring spires, ornate turrets and regal rooftops, this luxurious castle built in the late 20st century, invokes both the magic and mystery of Medieval fortresses through the 13th century Europe and beyond... Built in the Gothic Revival style, it is not an exact copy of any particular European castle. Rather, it is an architectural fantasy on the theme of European Romanticism and Gothic, which incorporates all the most beautiful and interesting elements of European architecture of the Middle Ages, the Renaissance and the Victorian era. Garibaldi Castle is a masterpiece of true family honor. The castle was built by its owner Oleg Kuzichkin in honor of his father - Garibaldi Arcadievich Kuzichkin.
