See a ten-meter (33-foot) mosaic, visit an exquisite early-20th-century mansion and Russia's only monument to Jules Verne, and many more amazing places.

🚂 Railway station • 📜 Historic site
The Nizhny Novgorod River Station is not just a station but also an architectural landmark and one of the city's symbols. The building was constructed in the 1930s to a design by the architects A. Z. Grinberg and M. I. Churilin. It is built in the style of Soviet Constructivism and stands out for its concise forms and functionality.
The facade is decorated with large windows and columns that give it a majestic look. Inside the station are waiting rooms, ticket offices, cafés, and other facilities needed to serve passengers. The upper deck offers a picturesque view of the Volga and the Oka.
Today the river station continues to perform its main function of receiving and dispatching ships. Various cultural events, exhibitions, and concerts are also held here. And in front of the station is Markin Square, home to the monument to the Heroes of the Volga Flotilla.
