Novorossiysk: sightseeing and entertainment. Description and photo

Today we will visit such a wonderful city as Novorossiysk. Attractions and entertainment are very diverse, despite the fact that it is not very well known. Well, what do we know about this city? Once upon a time he was raspiaren because of the book of the General Secretary of the Communist Party of the USSR Brezhnev "Little Earth", and then seemed to have sunk into oblivion. But is this true? Of course not.

Novorossiysk, whose attractions and entertainments we describe here, is not just an important seaport or a hero city. Here, of course, come not for the sake of the beaches or relaxing at sea. Although the coast here is clean, cozy and equipped, no worse than the neighboring villages that experience the invasion of holidaymakers. There is a decent infrastructure here, as in any metropolis. So, let's begin our journey.

How can I come here

Unfortunately, the city of Novorossiysk, whose attractions and entertainment we strongly recommend, does not have its own airport. The closest thing to it is the hub of the resort city of Anapa. But in the summer it is difficult to get tickets there, but it's also difficult to get to Novorossiysk. You will either have to take a taxi, or go to the center of Anapa, and from there also transfer to a special bus.

It's easiest to come here by train. Railway communication in this city is well established not only with Moscow, but with many cities and regions of Russia: Moscow, St. Petersburg, Vladikavkaz, Vorkuta and so on.

It's even more interesting to get here by water. After being one of the largest seaports in the country, Novorossiysk, whose attractions and entertainment will open to you upon arrival, accepts cargo ships and luxury liners all year round. For example, regular flights of "missiles" on hydrofoils leave here from Sochi. From there you can get there in only three and a half hours.

Novorossiysk: sightseeing and entertainment. Description of administrative division

To start with, this city is very oddly divided into districts. Like Sochi, it is a center and neighboring villages that are part of its features. By the way, one of them is Abrau-Durso, famous for the whole of Russia, with a winery. There are five such districts. Two of them lie to the west of the huge Tsemesskaya bay, and two - to the east. Abrau-Dyurso - the fifth district - as it were kept apart. The bay itself is a mysterious, almost mystical place. After all, it is there that the remains of the magnificent Soviet-era ship "Admiral Nakhimov" rest. It's not for nothing that they ask the local residents what is your Novorossiysk? Attractions and attractions - what to see? ", They reply that it is first of all worth visiting the Tsemess bay. Divers will be rewarded in full. Despite the dangers, they are eager to explore it.

East and Central districts

There are places in the city absolutely not for tourists. If you really want to know what sights are in Novorossiysk, and entertainment attracts you too, do not think to visit the Eastern District. This is an industrial zone with cement plants and other noisy and smoky businesses. What is good for the economy is not always beneficial for the environment, and even less suitable for inspection. But the Central District is quite another matter. It is worth to wander around to just admire the beautiful and clean streets, the marine station, and even visit the main city beach with a promising name "Neptune". There is also a central market. But if you want to leave in memory Novorossiysk, attractions and entertainment, photos of which can be shown to friends and relatives, be sure to walk along the embankment named after Admiral Serebryakov.

Novorossiysk: the best places of interest and entertainment

From the breathtaking panorama of the sea to the modern water park - everything here attracts real travelers. The embankment stretches along the coast for a whole two kilometers, and was named after the first governor of these places. Almost all types of public transport stop here: buses, minibuses, trolleybuses ... On the quay a pedestrian zone has been created, so you will not be bothered by the hooters of cars. When you walk along it, do not forget to examine the monuments to the founding fathers of the city. This is a whole memorial. It is thanks to these people that the former Turkish fortress of Sujuk-Kale became a city named Novorossiysk. Attractions and entertainment, reviews about which are of the highest rating, are located exactly on this promenade. There is a rather sad place called "Cape of Love," where, according to legends, several unfortunate couples have committed suicide. And if you want to visit the historical museum, it is located in a very interesting place - right on the cruiser Mikhail Kutuzov. Next to him are several popular sculptures in the city: "Fisherman waiting for her husband", "Giving water" and "Dolphin and the mermaid." On the waterfront are many restaurants and cafes overlooking the sea, beat beautiful fountains, in summer you can visit the water park, and in the evening everything is lit with lights.

Museums

The most famous monument of the history of the city is the cruiser Kutuzov, which we have already mentioned. At one time it was considered one of the top ten warships in the world, and now it's fun and entertaining tourists. Bristling with artillery, this cruiser still produces a menacing impression, it became a symbol of the Black Sea Fleet. In Novorossiysk, there is also a unique place that you will not find in the whole globe - this is the Museum of Cement. Since Nikolai Ostrovsky lived and even married in this city, the author of the famous novel about how steel was tempered, one can visit his apartment. It also became a museum.

Monuments

In addition to sculptures on the waterfront, the city still has many other statues. Most of them are dedicated to the sea or somehow connected with it. For example, a monument to the Unknown Sailor. Attracts tourists and the stele of the Sea of Glory. But one of the most popular memorials is the sculptural group "Exodus", dedicated to the evacuation of the White Army from Soviet Russia. Her aesthetics is borrowed from the famous film "Two Companions Served." But not only the memory of this tragic page of Russian history is interesting for Novorossiysk.

Sights and entertainments, the tourists' reviews about which are found most often, include a unique monument to Brezhnev. Perhaps, such a monument can not be found anywhere else. This is not surprising, because it was "dear Leonid Ilich" immortalized the city and made it popular, describing the events of World War II, which occurred here.

Memorial "Small Earth"

Although this monument was built in the Brezhnev era, it has nothing to do with stagnant times. After all, it was created in order to tell about one of the heroic military operations of the Great Patriotic War. "Little Earth" is the first thing that comes to mind to those who were born in the USSR, when they hear the question "What are the sights in Novorossiysk?". And entertainment in this city also exists, but in the beginning it is necessary to pay tribute to history. First of all, the "Small Earth" memorial is a monument to the paratroopers, who in February 1943 landed on this patch of land and heroically held it. Inside the most sculptural group is a very interesting interactive museum. And at the top of the monument, where you can climb the stairs, there is a capsule with the names of those who died liberating the city.

What is there for children

If you travel with a child, we assure you that he will like Novorossiysk. Sights and entertainments, the tourists' reviews about which they tell about the children's rest, is, first of all, a museum on the cruiser Kutuzov.

Where to swim

Local residents, as well as tourists, are not defined with where exactly in Novorossiysk it is better to spend time in the summer: in the Southern or Primorsky region. The first can boast such a landmark as the Sujuk Spit. This is one of the top places for youth recreation. Its length is about eight hundred meters. The beach is in the lagoon between two "branches" of the spit. Therefore, it is always warmer here than in other parts of the city. There is always clear water, clean, no waves. The beach is equipped, there are canopies, umbrellas, sun loungers. Almost before the morning, there are cafes and restaurants, discos are rattling.

The seaside area of the city boasts two excellent places for swimming, which are especially suitable for children's recreation - the Broad Balka and Myskhako. True, they are somewhat in the outskirts. But since Novorossiysk is an industrial city, it is even for the better. In Shirokaya Balka, there are rooms for rest, there are hotels, boarding houses and sanatoria, as well as restaurants, bars and nightclubs. You can arrange a jeep safari, parachute or even a helicopter. Myshako is a quieter place, where on the deserted beaches you can enjoy nature and clean air. In addition, here is one of the best wineries in the country. His tasting room is very popular.

Abrau Durso

This is the most famous settlement, which has turned into the region of Novorossiysk. It consists of two villages merged together. Abrau, with its famous sparkling wine factory, is located in the mountains near the lake, and Durso - its resort "annex" - is located by the sea.
