      ABOUT THE AUTHOR

      Introduction

      With almost 1,25 million inhabitants Nizhny Novgorod is the fifth-largest city in Russia. From 1932-1990 the city was named Gorky, after the well-known author who was born there. The view of the confluence of the Oka and the Volga is breathtaking. There is probably no comparable European city in which one can enjoy such an unobstructed view to the horizon from the centre of the city. At this sight one gets a feeling for the Russian expanse and the size of this country. Nizhny is a large city due to the population, but rather a province, compared to the large metropolises of Moscow and St. Petersburg. This is also shown by the fact that Nizhny is poorly developed for tourism which is particularly problematic for foreigners without knowledge of Russian. This city guide is directed primarily, but of course not only, to people who travel to Nizhny Novgorod for a longer period of time. I lived in Nizhny from 2012 until 2016 and I would like to share my experiences with others, so that you also get to know and love this beautiful city.
