Saratov is one of the great many cities in the world that are rich in attractions. Let’s try in this article to mention the main attractions of Saratov that most attract the attention of tourists.
First of all, I would like to draw the attention of readers to the fact that Saratov is a cultural center. This city has a myriad of different monuments, museums, houses of famous personalities. This list can be continued for a very long time, but it is worth paying attention to the main attractions of Saratov.
Museums Saratov is very famous for its museums. The most famous were and still are the museum of K.A. Fedina, Museum of them. A.N. Radishchev, local history museum, as well as a large number of houses that act as museums. In addition, in Saratov, as in many other cities of Russia, there is a museum of military glory, which contains all the exhibits that one way or another relate to the theme of the Great Patriotic War. Fans of folk art and those who are interested in the history of the population of the city of Saratov will be very interested to visit the ethnographic museum, which, although it was created not so long ago - in 1993, today is very popular, not only for tourists, but also for local population.
Galleries. Residents of Saratov, it turns out, are very fond of art, moreover, in all its manifestations. In confirmation of this, I would like to list only a few names of galleries that are in this city: Ceramics, Phoenix, Aesthetics, Forum, Planet of Masters, Art and shock. The House of Officers, which has long been a favorite destination for tourists, enjoys equally widespread popularity.
Bridge. Saratov is famous for its bridges - they are simply magnificent! The bridge connecting the banks of the Volga River, which is called the Saratov Bridge, is worth the attention of all passers-by. It is known all over the world, because once it was the longest bridge in all of Europe - it was listed as such from the very beginning of its existence - since 1965.
The conservatory. Such an institution in Saratov is only one, and it bears the name of L.V. Sobinova. This conservatory is known throughout Russia, since to this day it is recognized as the oldest musical educational institution, not only of the whole world, but of the country for sure. The Saratov Conservatory was opened immediately after the Moscow and St. Petersburg. Therefore, such a sight can attract not only lovers of classical music, but also antiquity.
Churches. These attractions of Saratov can attract not only architecture lovers, but also all believers. It is worth noting that the city has a considerable number of churches, among which the Church of the Protection of the Mother of God remains the most attractive for tourists from all over Russia. The city has not only churches - tourists may be interested in cathedrals, for example, such as the Spiritual Church, as well as the Holy Trinity Cathedral.
Monuments. Monuments of Saratov - this is another series of attractions of the city, which simply cannot go unnoticed. In Saratov, there is a monument to the hero of the song “There are so many golden lights on the streets of Saratov” - it, perhaps, remains the most important attraction from its very construction. The monument to the Saratov accordion, which is located opposite the Pioneer cinema, does not go unnoticed. There is also a monument to the Student, or as it is also called, "The Night Before the Exam." In addition to monumental monuments, the true sights of Saratov are mansions and houses. What is E. Borel’s mansion on Volzhskaya street?
From all of the above, I would like to conclude that in Russia there are not many cities such as Saratov. Sights of it attract not only Russian, but also foreign tourists who love Russian culture.
