Just 4 hours on a train from Moscow and you are here - Nizhniy Novgorod. This city is called Russia’s capital of the Volga river, the capital of sunsets, the cultural and historical capital, the capital of street art, the capital of Soviet cars, and even the capital of everything. Let’s see if this city deserves any of these titles.
