Night lifeNizhny NovgorodNizhny Novgorod: Night life

Night walks

If the weather allows you to spend an evening in the open, you can take a walk in the center. Bright night lighting changes the face of the city, and those places that you have already seen in daylight look different in the dark. Be sure to return to the historical part of the city and experience this magical transformation.
If you walk in the center, go to Minin Square and Pozharsky to admire the singing fountain. In winter, they put a big Christmas tree near him.
Nizhny Novgorod stands on two rivers, so for a romantic evening exercise, the embankments are ideal. For hiking, you should choose the Lower Volga, which offers a beautiful view of the confluence of the Volga and the Oka, or Verkhnevolzhskaya, from where you can see the whole city. If you like an active lifestyle and ride a bicycle or roller skates, go to the embankment of the Grebnoy Canal.
In the warm season, numerous sailing vessels go along the Volga. In the evenings, tourists ride on the river on boats. In addition to the beautiful view, some of them offer an entertainment program: discos, karaoke, shows.
After a walk along the embankments, turn onto Rozhdestvenskaya Street, where the whole nightlife of Nizhny Novgorod is concentrated. Here, at almost every step there are bars, clubs and restaurants working until late. And if your route leads you to Minin and Pozharsky Square, then God himself ordered you to go to Bolshaya Pokrovskaya and enjoy the local establishments.
