Very curious place with rich history. Although it is related to very specific names in history, the atmosphere is great. You will be going up level by level, each level with have something interesting about it (special qualities of the interior that you can actually test, or some nice exposition).

This monument honors soldiers who died in Russia's Afghan War.
Reviewed By Andrew E - White Bear Lake, Minnesota
Largely organized and paid for by the mothers of fallen soldiers, this is a remarkable memorial to combatants who paid the prices of sometimes questionable decisions made by government leaders. The Russian war in Afghanistan is at the center of this memorial, but local soldiers who died in other wars are also recognized. Highly recommended.

Really fascinating museum of a Russian actor of whom the building is named after. If you buy a ticket to the lookout, admission is included.
His original Merc, and many Soviet antiques and memorabilia are on show. It helps if you can read Russian and learn about his rise to fame. There is also a fairly good replica of his apartment.
Worth a visit, especially in winter to stay out of the cold.
The toilets for this museum are tucked upstairs behind a small corridor.

The Museum was opened in 2005, and at first the exposition consisted of only a few samples of military equipment. With the time space of Museum and the number of exhibits has grown.

Well thought out large military museum with a very large selection of tanks, planes, helicopters, rocket launchers, gun boats and submarines etc etc from the WW11, soviet & more recent eras. All exhibits were in very good condition. Display is both inside and outside, personally I preferred the outside displays as they held the larger items on display. The selection of armed WWII trains was of particular interest. Note that although all displays have information plaques they are in Russian only. No souvenir shop which I thought was a shame. A must see for anyone with even a passing interest in Military hardware.

You will probably not manage to enter, as it is not so easy - but even simply walking outside is worth, as the neo-gothic or art-deco (depends how you see it) mansion of one of the most wealthy city persons from the time the city has surged as center of the being burn heavy industry is a great view.
And its surrounding, which invites for a stroll, or even a boat ride within the closed water space in front

A lot kind of tree, you can see small animals and birds. It is beautiful place. But in weekends there are more walking people. I'm prefer early time when you may hear a song of nature.

Must do in Yekaterinburg. Tickets purchased downstairs and then a brisk lift ride to the platform. Bring very warm clothing in winter due to the windchill. Great views especially of the lake, and friendly souvenir shop.
The ticket also gets you into the Visotsky museum on the ground floor which was fascinating and a nice escape on a cold winter's day.

There is especially a lot of activity on weekends and evenings. This centrally located park is where many come to hang out, musicians play nice music and trying to earn some money, teens perform various acrobatics, street food vendors offer ice cream, drinks and other foods, people of all ages ride bikes, kids/teens are boarding, people go for romantic walks and more.
Besides the waterway, Fountains, and statues, the park is an outdoor museum of many very large precious rocks (see photos I am attaching).
Many of the best museums and restaurants are a few minutes walk away.
On a few possibly 150 metre long railings lovers and other have locked thousands of locks to the railings.
10. Ganina Yama Monastery

Reviewed By Brigitte H - London, United Kingdom
I Think Tsar Nicholas II and his family would have approved this very calm but beautiful memorial to remember their terrible murders and their bodies first being thrown down a mine shaft here, in haste. Since then the 7 churches for each family member have been built in the woods and a monastery established. Each church us a little different and the bronze busts of the family are exquisite, especially the one of Tsarina Alexandra, Queen Victoria's granddaughter.
Long skirts and head scarves are provided for female visitors, photography permitted outside but not in any building.
Quaint cafe serving coffee, tea and local delicacies.
Recommend.
