One of the colossal cities of Russia in terms of area and population, Novosibirsk has landscaped terrains that have been chiseled by none other than the River Ob. An exhaustive city tour of Novosibirsk in the course of your Novosibirsk tours and travels entails a visit to the various statues and repositories of Novosibirsk that showcase relics of a bygone era and a cruise down the spectacular Ob River. Needless to say, the best time to take a city tour of Novosibirsk is summer because in winter, the city is garbed in ice and snow sheets and a trip around the city would necessitate travelers to be good ice skaters, skiers and hikers.
You must visit the imposing statue of Lenin in Novosibirsk when you have embarked on a city tour of Novosibirsk. The sculpture is situated in one of the busiest locales of Novosibirsk in close proximity to the Opera House of Novosibirsk. Like all great leaders who walked the Earth, Lenin too had his strengths and shortcomings. A radical who immersed himself in the ideologies of Marx and grew to be the vanguard of the Bolsheviks and the chief of the Union of Soviet Social Republic, Lenin commanded huge respect that bordered on reverence from the common masses of early twentieth century Russia. Tourists marvel at the fascinating statue of the great leader for hours as it is reminiscent of some of the qualities that he possessed which created an everlasting impact on the Russians and their social milieu.
After admiring Lenin, you can reserve a seat at the Opera House in case one of Tchaikovsky’s compositions or Dostoevsky’s or Tolstoy’s chef-d’oeuvres is enacted there.
There are many tour groups that organize steamer or raft trips across the ebullient waters of the Ob. These trips are an essential part of the city tour of Novosibirsk. Constituting waters of glacial lakes and the Altay massifs, the Ob meanders and wanders much before it drains into the Kara Bay, a ‘lagoon’ of the Arctic Ocean. Despite the entire length of the Ob not being conducive for rafting and cruising, some of its portions seem to have been crafted by Nature especially for the pleasure of mankind. Tourists relish every moment of their city tour of Novosibirsk when they kayak down the Ob River. The Ob is home to several fish and tourists feel gleeful when they are permitted to angle. The magnificent taiga woodlands on the cambers of the Ob rustle delicately as the gentle Siberian zephyr fans their leaves and you too.
