Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Museum
Sakhaline Regional Museum
The museum building is recognisable by its layered roofs and exterior decoration. This architecture introduces Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk’s heritage before a visit to the collections inside.
Museum
Chekhov Book Museum
The museum is devoted to Chekhov’s book Sakhalin Island. It offers a literary stop distinct from the regional museum, focusing on a text, its author and the territory it describes.
Natural landscape
Ski resort Gorny Vozdukh
Gorny Vozdukh’s lifts and slopes rise above the city landscape. The stop combines mountain views with the developed resort; skiing and lift access depend on the season and actual operations.
Park and garden
Gagarine Park
Gagarin Park combines walking areas with a lake and leisure facilities. The chosen view also shows the children’s railway, whose presence does not guarantee trains running at the time of a visit.
