What good in Samara

Yesterday I told you about the bad Samara. I am glad that the post has caused so much controversy. The reader might get the impression that everything is bad in Samara. This is not true. You just have to be able to see and good. A rare gift in our time, not all cope. For someone wooden houses - is rotting filthy sheds that need to quickly carry, and for some it is a picturesque historical buildings, which can be hours to explore and photograph. Remember where we're going first of all, for example in the East? All are only interested in "old town". All these narrow streets, bazaars, smells, noise, long history. This is the heart of any city. No one was interested in sleeping quarters and high-rise buildings and shopping malls. In Samara, also has a heart.

The main plus Samara - a huge potential for tourism! I have been in hundreds of cities around the world (160 countries, if that). What is at Samara? Excellent location - just over an hour by plane from Moscow. Airport, of course, far from the city, but if you put high-speed train to the center, it will solve the problem. The city is located on the river, but the water is not divided into parts, like Nizhny Novgorod, for example. Evening when I was walking along the embankment, I even thought I was going along the coast, somewhere in Nice or Cannes. The lights on the other side of the Volga recall standing in the raid ships. Very beautiful. Plus, the city has an interesting topography. Most importantly, in Samara has not yet destroyed the city center, which is necessary to do an architectural reserve. Ufa and Kazan are the envy of interpretation, they are all their possessions taken down, hahahaha. Center in Samara is quite compact, for it is pleasant to walk. Samara I am somewhat reminded Odessa. I do not know what's probably its elegant courtyards. In general, if you invest a little money in Samara, then after 3-5 years it could become a major tourist center on a par with Moscow and St. Petersburg. Of course, the main attraction Samara - cats. I have already said that we need to develop a line on the cat Russian capital. Again, a good topic for tourism.

Most Samartsev proud of its waterfront. It was built in several stages, and it is really good. If you ask Samartsev about his city, then you will probably answer: "Everything is bad, except for the waterfront"

All very clean and tidy. Mayor demolished the waterfront all the kebab, it is now possible to walk.

On the waterfront bike path there. On the one hand it's cool, but we must not forget that the bike - it's not only fun, but also public transport. The authorities need to think about it.

The locals are a beer in hand at an angle of 90 degrees. And, still are. I do not know what causes it. Maybe in Samara second bottle is always given for free? In any case, dexterity and ingenuity Samartsev can only envy.
