Nizhny Novgorod is not the most popular city among tourists. He has a very rich history. There is something to see. For example, the Nizhny Novgorod Kremlin has never been captured by enemies. It was under the walls of the Nizhny Novgorod Kremlin in 1612 that Kuzma Minin and Dmitry Pozharsky raised funds and organized a militia to liberate Moscow from the Poles.
Instructions
Step 1
The Nizhny Novgorod Kremlin is located on Zelensky Congress Street. The entrance to the territory is free. You can see military equipment. For example, the GAZ-AA, the SU-76 self-propelled artillery mount, and much more.
To walk along the corridors of the Kremlin, you have to pay. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes, there are very steep stairs in the Kremlin, with large steps. You won't be able to sit down and rest, the benches are not installed.
There are museums in the Kremlin. The most interesting of them is "Shield and Sword". Unfortunately, you cannot get into it without paying for walks along the corridors of the Kremlin. It is located far enough from the entrance to the Kremlin. For a fee, the museum provides visitors with the opportunity to take pictures in armor.
It is better not to walk along the corridors of the Kremlin with small children. They get tired quickly.

The stairs lead to the boat "Hero".
In the evening, you can clearly see the sunset on the Volga River from the stairs.
