I was born in a city called Rostov-on-Don. Sights of our city can be found even in the Great Soviet Encyclopedia.
Do not believe me? Let's imagine that we can move around the city without transport, only with the help of the power of thought, and we will tour the most beautiful places in Rostov. By the way, the Rostov-on-Don tourist map is sold in any kiosk. But it basically identifies "official" sights, and I'll tell you about those who love Rostov the most. Ready? Flew!
Tractor, grand piano and airplane
We will begin, of course, with "Tractor". It stands on the main square of the city and is a national treasure. Because "Tractor" - and not a tractor at all, but the Drama Theater, built in the form of a tractor MTZ-80. The sights of Rostov-on-Don (photo) are unique. I propose to move directly from the tractor to ... a grand piano. This unusual form has a new Musical Theater. The old bus station, if you look closely at it, is built in the shape of an airplane, and the helicopter culture center, accordingly, has the form of a helicopter. True, in the process of its construction, an error occurred, and the building was "tied" to the terrain with the wrong side. But local people know about which side to look at. What else can please Rostov-on-Don? Attractions can be found even in ... the river.
Here - Europe, there - Asia
The fact is that just along the fairway of the river Don, dividing the city into two unequal parts, the border between Europe and Asia passes. So Rostovites unite in themselves all the best features of Europeans and Asians. In particular, we, like most Asian peoples, believe in good signs. You need money? Are you waiting for luck? Do not waste time, come to Rostov-on-Don. Attractions that are not on the maps, will help you get rich. To do this, just pat the cat, who accompanies the peddler, and toss a coin into the trader's tray (photo). Oh, you do not need money, but just happiness and luck? Then quickly move to Krasnoarmeiskaya and sit down on the chair of the real barber. By the way, more and more newlyweds come here, canceling the traditional trip to Tatchanka and the monument to Lenin.
Monuments, temples, beaches
Do you know why we still love Rostov-on-Don? Its attractions are not just official monuments and beautiful architecture. It's 13 beaches that are located directly in the city and its immediate surroundings, and 20 more, located a little further away. These are monuments to revolutionaries, literary heroes, war participants, mothers, children, cats and dogs. It's singing colored fountains and eight theaters, it's the old architecture, the European chic, the temples. We have Orthodox and Catholic cathedrals, mosques, synagogues, prayer houses of various faiths, because the people of Rostov, despite their southern ardor, the people are very tolerant and hospitable. Do you want to make sure of this? Come to us! In the summer we will sunbathe, in the winter - sledding, in the spring - admiring the blooming gardens, and in the autumn - enjoy watermelons, apples and grapes. And you will understand that Rostov-on-Don is the best city in the world!
