Akademgorodok
  • Tip Rating:
  • Founded in '50, it's the russian city of science, also called "silicon tayga"...
    the place is very beautiful, academic buildings are surrounded by the siberian forest...
    enjoy in walking among the birches, but beware the terrible siberian mosquitos!

    Akademgorodok
  • Tip Rating:
  • You can take a direct marshrutka to come here. It's about 30 km from Novosibirsk. But be warned, if you don't have a special interest and don't know any people here, it's actually rather boring and confusing. There isn't really anything to see and we got lost and to get back to Novosibirsk is tough in the evening as all marshutkas are already full. There are lots of institutes and some monuments but that's about it.

    The positive thing after Novosibirsk is that you can take a walk in the nature. On the way there you will pass the open-air railway museum in Seyatel on your left. This seemed much more appealing to me but I didn't get to visit.

    Obskoe more
  • Tip Rating:
  • (Ob sea)
    it's the big artificial lake created by the dam on Ob river.
    Its beaches were created transporting here tons of sand from the sea...it was a kind of heaven for the scientist of Akademgorodok; the ideal place for a shashlik with friends.

    Ballet or Opera at the Novosibirsk Theater
  • Tip Rating:
  • it was amazing to see how many young russians go to the ballet on saturday night when americans would be going to see a hollywood movie. the theater is beautiful, the talent impressive, and the tickets are outrageously inexpensive. they were completing a renovation when i was last there, and i'd expect that it is even more striking than it was before...

    Lenin monument
  • Tip Rating:
  • There is an impressive Lenin monument on the square in front of the opera. Ploshad Lenina is an oversized square which doesn't just feature Lenin but had other Soviet statues.

    The monument to the deaths of

    Le monument aux morts de la Seconde Guerre Mondiale est très impressionnant !
    Imaginez :
    Quatre grands murs de plusieurs mètres de haut portent de nom des hommes de Novosibirsk qui ne sont jamais revenus des combats. Et ces noms sont là, par milliers pour nous rappeler l'hécatombe meurtrière que cette guerre à provoqué dans ce pays.

    The monument to the deaths of World War II is very impressive !
    Imagine :
    Four big walls of several meter high carry name of the men of Novosibirsk that never came back of the fights. And these names are there, by thousand to recall us the murderous hecatomb that this war to provoked in this country.

    Ski
  • Tip Rating:
  • There is a saying:"A Siberian means a skier". It is true. For Siberians skiing is Sport #1. If you live in Akademgorodok, you can just take you skis, go outside, put them on - and go! (important notice: `skiing' in Russia always means 'cross-country skiing', not 'down-hill skiing'). We have excellent ski-tracks around Novosibirsk, most of them ranging 3, 5, or 10 km (1.609 km = 1 mile). The most favourite place for skiing is the Alik Tulskii ski center in Akademgorodok. Besides the standard distances 'for dummies' mentioned above, it has 15, 20, and 35 km tracks. The annual `ski marathon' in March attracts masters from all over Russia. The distances are 35 km for women, 70 km for men and 105 km for the fanatics
