Visit a 10th century Slavic village, admire the beauties of Kamchatka and eat at McDollars.
«Let me know” is a rubric for the stories of our readers. Every week we launch a survey on a hot topic and look forward to your comments. This time you told us what sights of your native land you would show the guests of the city. Sharing a tourist map!
Norilsk
Alexandra
We have a Burger Ring and McDollars in our city! We also have a wonderful museum of the history of the Norilsk industrial region. And although the city itself is filled with shabby "panels", this also creates some kind of romance. I also recommend going to nature - to the mountains and to Lake Lama.

Near the village of Lyubytino, I advise you to visit:
- museum alive stories "Slavic village of the X century",
- Church of the Assumption of the Virgin, built in honor of the victory over the Napoleonic troops,
- waterfall on the river Priksha,
- waterfall on the Belaya River,
- Goremykin's estate,
- Suvorov temple in the village of Kamenka,
- recreation center "Lyubytino-Khutor".
In winter - ski resort Lubogorye.
Stavropol
Anonymous
I would show tourists the Tatar settlement, where you can get silver water. There is also a cascading waterfall, part of the historical Silk Road... But in general, we have a lot of interesting things!
Kamchatka
Daniel

Taganrog
Elena
First, I would show JACTsZhAKT - housing and rental cooperative partnerships, which were distributed in the 1910-1920s of the USSR. Their essence was that the residents of these houses themselves are responsible for their improvement. Now JAKTs are preserved only in the southern regions of the country. Including - in Taganrog. - legacy Soviet period. Secondly, embankments of varying degrees of destruction (they promise to fix them). Thirdly, I would take him on a tour of Chekhov's places - always immersive, with theater artists. Fourthly, I would take you to Gorky Park - just to show the local strange sculpture, where a pig is fused into a stone, and a rubber dinosaur sits next to it!
I would invite me to eat at the Madame Ku-ku restaurant with macarons, croissants and buckwheat-pineapple tea. Or to the coffee shop "Coffee maker" to give you a taste of their orange raf.

Vladivostok
Anna
I would show tourists:
- lighthouse on Tokarevsky's cat,
- railway station building,
- a stele 9288 km high - the end point of the Trans-Siberian Railway,
- forts of the Vladivostok fortress,
- Vladivostok funicular and observation platform "Eagle's Nest",
- bridge across the Golden Horn Bay,
- natural beauties of the Russian Island,
- Voroshilov battery.
Pugachev
Galina
I would recommend visiting:
- park of culture and recreation with a frontier post and interesting fountains,
- the site for cultural recreation "Dam", located on the banks of the Bolshoy Irgiz River - the most winding in Europe,
- museum of the commander V. AND. Chapaev,
- park them. Alexei Tolstoy,
- The Resurrection Cathedral of 1899 is amazingly beautiful with the same amazing history.
And I would also introduce tourists to the club of Pugachev's pensioners "Positive". This is probably not the case in any region. Here they learn to sew, knit, dance, draw pictures, write poems and songs, speak English language, understanding computers. From time to time they organize contests "Miss Spring" or "Miss Autumn", participate in the volunteer movement, go in for sports, Nordic walking, beadwork and even travel.
Ulyanovsk
Maria
I would show Lenin Street with lovely museum houses, the Venets embankment and the wide Volga. And then we would have walked through the bars and restaurants on Federation Street.
Kerch
Igor
Would show:
- obelisk of Glory,
- ruins of ancient Panticapaeum,
- Adzhimushkay quarries,
- view from Mount Mithridates to the Crimean bridge,
- Church of John the Baptist,
- Eltigen,
- fortress Totleben,
- Yeni Kale fortress.
Zheleznogorsk
Catherine
I would show tourists (who, of course, were never born there) MGOK. This is a large urban development enterprise. It works 24/7. On the territory there cars with LEGS, there are huge belazes, the wheel of which is the size of a two-story house ...
And every Thursday, happy residents hear explosions - this is ore being mined in a quarry. By the way, the enterprise is twice as large as the city itself.
