Although I couldn't get into the bank I found the facade of the building quite impressive. Definitely worth seeing.

The top of this massive staircase behind the Chkalov Monument offers a great view of the Volga River.

A giant set of stairs, named for a soviet test pilot, whose statue is at the top. A great workout if you're climbing up
3. Pozharsky and Minin Square
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 150 reviews
The venue for all the big events and festivals that take place in the city, this picturesque square is particularly beautiful when lit up at night.
4. Bolshaia Pokrovskaia Street

Reviewed By abrogers2001 - Perth, Australia
The town was definitely cleaned up for the Soccer World Cup and nowhere more so than this street. It features everything from small bars and cafes, to luxury designer shops. There are quite a few places to buy souvenirs if that is your thing, but in any case it is an exciting place to stroll on a Saturday evening. One thing that hasn’t adjusted since the World Cup are the prices, so go somewhere else if you want better value. The street leads straight through many of the main tourist attractions and is the commercial hub of the city. There is a lot of street art and some signs in English.
