Beautiful architectural structures and magnificent views from the embankments can be found in almost every coastal city. Samara is no exception in this. But there are also those sights that cannot be found in other cities. The essence of Samara is revealed in them.
In Samara, you can feel like an astronaut by visiting the Samara Space Museum and Exhibition Complex. The complex opened in 2007 and immediately became a laureate of the "Tourist Brand of the Samara Region" award. And all thanks to a unique exhibit - the Soyuz carrier rocket, which is located on the roof of the museum. With its uniqueness "Soyuz" somewhat overshadows the rest of the museum's composition, which is also noteworthy. Here you can see various spacesuits and household items of astronauts, as well as taste space food.
Stalin's bunker. It was created as a reserve headquarters of the Supreme Commander in the event of the occupation of Moscow by the enemy. The bunker goes 37 meters underground. You can find out about its history by signing up for one of the excursions.
You should definitely see the collection of motorcycles by Vyacheslav Sheyanov. Museum "Motorworld Vyacheslav Sheyanov" has more than 100 various motorcycles and tricycles from 14 countries, which the owner of the museum has been collecting for more than 20 years. Some motorcycles are around 90 years old, but they are all in working order and capable of accelerating to 100 km / h. Both civilian and military motorcycle models are presented here. But the collector is especially proud of the famous Indian and Harley models. Vyacheslav can tell about the history of each model that is kept in his museum.
The old tram, located on the territory of the tram depot, is also a kind of attraction in Samara. The reconstructed tram from 1915 consists of two cars, a winter and a summer one, and fully reproduces its appearance more than 100 years ago. Even the advertisements in it are recreated from the 1915 model. This monument was made for the centenary of the Samara tramway service. Residents of the city call it a monument to a tram that did not come, hinting at the city's transport problems.
One of the most popular new monuments in Samara is a monument to the Internet user. The monument was created in 2010. A monkey is sitting on a computer monitor with a keyboard in its paws, symbolizing intelligence and development. Despite its young age, the sculpture has already acquired a legend. They say that if you type a wish on the keyboard of a monkey, it will definitely come true.
