A seaside city in the
Russian Southern Federal District, Sochi’s
popularity is increasing day by day. In recent years, a genuine economic,
cultural, artistic and architectural revolution has taken place in this Olympic
city.
Stalin’s Villa (Dacha)
Stalin’s big dacha is open to the public. He used
to visit this place quite often and usually held meetings with political
leaders of the period. An opportunity to rent a room is provided to visitors,
so they can experience the true spirit of Russian communism of the past.
Downstairs there’s a small museum displaying Stalin’s waxwork and personal
belongings.

Lake
This
lake is simply huge and absolutely breathtaking. Ritsa is surrounded by green
hills and beautiful plants. You will have an opportunity to pass through small
waterfalls and walk along the banks to enjoy the scenic views. The lake is

for taking photos.

Singing Fountains
This
attraction of Sochi is undoubtedly one of the most visited places in the city.

outside and usually once it begins to get dark.

Waterfalls

this place was blessed by nature long long time ago. The city of Sochi is full
of numerous wonders, among them you can find a place called 33 waterfalls which
is considered to be the most impressive is this collection of wonders of

Dendrary Park) was built in 1892; it’s a must-visit attraction in Sochi. This
green park with a huge amount of different exotic plants has a relaxing, calm
and pleasant atmosphere. Don’t miss the panoramic view of the sea and coast via
the local cable car.
Town
History Museum

opened in 1920; it was closed some years after, and now the doors of the
recently renovated museum are open again. The collection of classic
Russian art was introduced some decades ago, with all of the artefacts and
