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