Alexandrovsky Garden

Alexandrovsky Garden is located in the historical center of Nizhny Novgorod, near the Kremlin and Volga River embankment. Previously, there was Panskaya Sloboda, inhabited by foreign prisoners. The garden opened in 1835 under Emperor Nikolay I's decree and became the city's first public park. Its main attraction is the unique Chkalovskaya staircase designed in the shape of an eight. There is also a musical shell stage restored after a fire in 1958. The total area of the park is approximately 35 hectares.
