Where to stay
In Krasnodar, it makes sense to stay in the city center. The main points of interest are within walking distance, which means that you will be less likely to get stuck in the main attraction - a traffic jam.
If your budget allows, choose a hotel Marriott - This is the tallest building in the city, which was built for more than 10 years. Room price - from 5,000 rubles per day, a bonus is a panoramic view of Krasnodar. On Booking.com you can rent an apartment in LCD "Bolshoi" - from 2,500 rubles per night. A budget option - "Bla Bla hostel»Or nice accommodations on AirBnb: for example, apartments on Red Street, apartment with a smart home system or luxury option with a gorgeous view of the city.
What sights of Krasnodar to see
Red Street
This is the cultural and gastronomic center of the city. On weekends, the street is closed and becomes pedestrianized. Start the route from house 5, where the Central Concert Hall, the Kovalenko Museum and the Pushkin Library are located. Grab a coffee at your local coffee shop along the way - "
Condensed milk», «Library Coffee" or Coffee Set. Don't forget to make a wish under the bell at the Arc de Triomphe.Near house 67 there is a graffiti lane - a wall next to which all tourists of Krasnodar take pictures. There are two bars and a cafe in the neighborhood: we recommend having a cider at the bar Hopkins and make new acquaintances.
At the very end of Krasnaya Street there is the legendary cinema "Aurora" and the monument of the same name to the goddess of the morning dawn. These are monuments of Soviet constructivism, which for a long time were symbols of the capital of the Kuban and appeared on all local postcards. The cinema is currently being renovated, so come back here in a couple of years when it will be open to the public again.
Singing Fountain in the Main City Square
Address: st. Krasnaya, d. 124.
Summer Krasnodar is quite hot, so standing by the fountain in the evening is a great idea. Do not look at the locals, swimming is prohibited here, but you can quickly check the water with your right little finger.
Organ Hall
Address: st. Krasnaya, d. 122.
A venue in the historical center of the city where you can get involved in art and listen to chamber music. The hall is located in the building of the city administration.

Park "Krasnodar"
Address: st. Scout Leonov, d. 1.
It's Galitsky Park. This is the most impressive landmark of the city, on the territory of which the stadium of the same name is located. Even if you are not football fan, you should go to the match at least once. This is a stadium of the highest category, that is, all significant football events, including the World Cup, can be held here.
The park itself is often compared to Moscow's "Zaryadye", but the scope here is hospitable in the Kuban way - both in area and in the number of locations. The territory of the park is constantly expanding, and everything around is buried in green spaces. It now houses art objects from the Recycle group, carp ponds, a mirror and water maze, a skate park, an amphitheater, sage fields and lawn areas for picnics. Dud wrote about the stadium and park"I know that you are tired of enthusiasm about the Krasnodar park" and VarlamovCoolest park in Zamkadye, and pointers that help not to get lost in a huge territory createdNavigation for the Krasnodar park studio of Artemy Lebedev.

You cannot climb the tower, you have to admire only from the side. Nearby is the Krasnodar circus and the most popular shopping center in the city - "Gallery-Krasnodar".
Moorish palace
Address: st. Pushkin, d. 61.
Once a luxurious mansion that quietly fades every year. The house is shrouded in legends traditionally associated with love tragedies: it was built by the Kuban architect in honor of the Georgian princess. Their love was unhappy, so there are two domes on the house - a symbol of lovers who cannot be together.
The architectural monument of the early 20th century was converted into a standard communal apartment: you cannot get inside, since people live here, but some premises are sold on Avito.

Krasnodar rice
The Krasnodar Territory has a large number of rice plantations, so bringing home a pack of real Krasnodar rice would be very nice.
