The character of the walk

The walk links central architecture with a descent to the Ob. The preserved span of the first railway bridge is a monument on land, not a crossing along the active railway. The Hundred-Apartment House remains residential; view its façade from the street without entering stairwells or fenced courtyards

Landmarks along the way

Globus Theatre: A theatre building with a sailing-ship silhouette; Hundred-Apartment House: A residential building with loggias and a monumental facade; Alexander Nevsky Cathedral: A red-brick cathedral with golden domes

First Railway Bridge Span Monument: A preserved metal bridge span displayed as a monument beside the Ob; Mikhailovskaya Embankment: A city promenade on the right bank of the Ob
