Нижний Новгород

Нижний Новгород is one of the five largest cities in Russia, located in Western Russia. But most people know just Moskow and St. Petersburg. The city became a central point for the Russian trade around 1850 and is now an important industrial city. The city does not have many international tourists, but more Russians that visit the city or who are on a cruise on the Wolga. It is still a very pretty city, although it is not known around the world.
