Now for Nizhny Novorgod



                                                   Nizhny Novorgod Trade Fair


                                                 Nizhny Novorgod Kremlin



Nizhny Novorgod is also going to be one of the places I go for a day. Sadly it doesn't posses as many wonders as St. Petersburg or Moscow but when staying in Russia, since it is the largest country in the world, there are not very many choices of where to go on day trips. Nozhny Novorgod is mainly a city of art museums and monuments to famous Russians of the past. This is good because Moscow and St. Petersburg are both very different from Nizhny Novorgod. Of course the fact that Moscow is a booming art established city might make you think that I am wasting my time going to Nizhny Novorgod, but the truth is that Nizhny Novorgod has a far more cultural view of art while Moscow is more in the modern era Nizhny remains to be fascinated with the old pieces of art. The Nizhny Novorgod Kremlin is a place I want to see just so I can compare it to the Kremlin in Moscow. The Nizhny Novorgod Trade Fair is another placve of interest due to its old yet kind of modern looking architecture. I mainly want the go to Nizhny Novorgod because it is a city of many many contrasts and has no defined old or new part of town but is more mixed if anything. Also another reason I want to go is because it is Russia's center of industry and art and is also the third largest city of the “Modern Russia.”
