        Верхняя Набережная ул., смотровая над Малой бухтой
        The cliff-top shore south of the centre: viewing platforms above the sea, pebble beaches below and the best sunsets in the city.

        • It has almost 900 conifers, 1,400 deciduous plants and 450 shrubs, with a dancing fountain in the middle.
