Tired Tourist Monument

Veliky Novgorod, U Peshekhodnogo Mosta Emb

The monument "Tired Tourist" is installed on the banks of Novgorod the Great, near a pedestrian bridge over the Volkhov River. The sculpture depicts a girl-tourist sitting in sandals. It is a popular spot for photos, especially among tourists. Nearby, there has developed a tradition of throwing coins into her shoe for good luck. There are differing opinions about who exactly the statue is dedicated to—whether it is a tourist or a local resident.
