      🌳 The Strelka

      Стрелка

      The spit where the Oka flows into the Volga: an embankment right by the water, lawns by the stadium, Alexander Nevsky Cathedral and a view of the kremlin across the river.

      • From the 16th century this was Nizhny's main port, and the move of the fair from Makaryev in 1817 gave it new scope.
      • In 1896, for the All-Russian Exhibition, the first tram was run here, linking the city with the fair.
      • In Soviet times a cargo port operated on the Strelka, and it was long impossible to get in.
      • In 2015–2018 a stadium for the FIFA World Cup was built on the Strelka.
      • Strelka metro station opened on 12 June 2018.
