Today we visited Saratow – the old city lovely located between two bridges. For many years it was completely closed for the foreigners! This city has no industry, at least from the front side and I think that it is the nicest place I visited on this trip along Volga. It is worth to go up to the Sokolnaya Hill overlooking the city and the river for the great view. Military museum is located there too to see for free the war time train and few “katyusha” launchers. Then they have nice pedestrian zone along the Kirova street with many ornate buildings of rich merchants. The real jewel of your visit could be nicely restored Troitsky Sobor – just near river dock. Lovely, sunny day!
