The city is located at the intersection of the Volga River and Oka River and offers some unique scenery. You’ll have a time to explore Russia’s third largest city (1.7 million population) a famous historical and cultural place, founded in 1221.
The city is spread broadly and freely along the banks of two great rivers – 28 km along the Oka River and 30 km along the Volga River. On its territory of 350 sq. km, there are the three European states of Liechtenstein, San Marino and Monaco. The city is incomparable in its geography and scenery. The Oka River divides the city into lowland and highland sections. The highland section is situated on seven hills and elevated above the mighty core where the Oka River and Volga River meet.
If you plan on exploring the city’s historical or cultural places with a tour guide, please ask us for additional information.
Scheduling notes.
It is important you schedule your flying discovery as much in advance as your schedule allows.
Obtaining the necessary security clearance (official permission) to fly a jet fighter in Russia can require up to 39 days.
Tour days and free time are included in the itinerary for a couple reasons. First, we think you should see a part of the amazing country where our flight takes place
More importantly though, you should have extra time in your schedule that can be used in case of bad weather if your flight on the International Air Carriers from the US, Canada or Europe is delayed a day, etc.
How you can arrive at Nizhny Novgorod.
There are two ways to arrive in Nizhny.
The first, and most direct way is through Frankfurt, Germany by Lufthansa. The second way is through Moscow and is best if you plan on stopping in Moscow for your own purposes.
