Cathedral of the Ascension

　　The gold-domed 1914 Cathedral of the Ascension has a wonderful, colourful interior with a soaring central space that’s unexpected given its fairly squat exterior appearance. ...

Chapel of St Nicholas

　　The pretty little Chapel of St Nicholas was said to mark the geographical centre of Russia when it was built in 1915. Demolished in the 1930s, it was rebuilt in 1993 for Novosibirsk’s centenary. Today it is an oasis of calm in the bustling city centre. ...

Alexander Nevsky Cathedral

Novosibirsk State History Museum

The well-thought-out collection traces the history of Siberia and Novosibirsk from birth up to today. The highlights are the displays on nomadic life and shamanism (in the...

Monument to First Traffic Light

　　This humorous monument portraying a stumpy little man staring up at a bendy traffic light is based at the rumoured site of the city’s first ever traffic light. It's worth a quick diversion if you're in the southern part of town. ...
