Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Walk and landscape
Samara Embankment
Samara’s embankments open long views of the Volga. Landscaped levels, planted spaces and the shoreline offer different perspectives of the river, distinct from the city’s museum stops.
Natural landscape
Stalin’s Bunker
The bunker adds an underground structure to a visit to Samara. The photographed entrance identifies the venue; visiting its interior spaces requires following the institution’s arrangements.
Historic site
Soyuz Rocket Monument
The upright rocket gives Samara’s space heritage a tangible scale. The body’s length, different stages and forms at its base reveal its proportions from the public space.
Religious building
Iverski Monastery
The Iversky Monastery’s domes and buildings add a religious stop to Samara. Their forms and colours are seen alongside open spaces, at a different scale from the broad embankments.
