Safety Score: 7.5/10 · Value: 8.5/10 · Beauty: 7.3/10

Nizhny Novgorod is one of Russia's most historically significant cities, for centuries it was Russia's commercial capital, home to the world's largest annual trade fair (the Nizhny Novgorod Fair, drawing 200,000 merchants at its peak). The kremlin sits on a high bluff at the confluence of the Volga and Oka rivers, one of Russia's most dramatic urban settings. The city hosted 2018 FIFA World Cup matches, which drove significant renovation of the historic centre. The pedestrian Bolshaya Pokrovskaya Street is one of Russia's best urban walks, lined with 19th-century architecture.
