Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Natural landscape
Mount Machuk
Mount Mashuk gives Pyatigorsk a recognisable landform. Views of its slopes reveal their relationship with the city; reaching a high viewpoint is a separate route to plan according to the chosen approach.
Natural landscape
Proval underground lake
Proval is a cavity with a lake at its bottom. Rock, the opening and the water’s colour create its distinctive scene, unlike an open-air lake intended for water recreation.
Natural landscape
Lermontov Gallery
The Lermontov Gallery displays light architecture of glass, metal and decorative details. In Tsvetnik Park, its facade and roofs form a stop best seen alongside nearby planting and walks.
Park and garden
Tsvetnik Park
Tsvetnik Park brings paths, planting and buildings into one walking space. It connects Pyatigorsk’s architectural stops with a more landscaped experience of its urban gardens.
