Park of the 28 Panfilov Guardsmen

What to see

Start by looking around the outside of the Ascension Cathedral, then head to the memorial area of the park. Different areas call for a different pace: linger over architectural details at the cathedral, then pause quietly at the memorial.

An idea for your walk

Choose the entrance closest to your transport stop and plan a small loop along the paths. If time is short, focus on two stops, the cathedral and the memorial, rather than trying to see everything. If you want to enter the cathedral, check its visiting arrangements separately.

When to go and what to consider

The park suits an independent city walk and a look at its architecture. Remember that the cathedral is an active place of worship and the memorial area is a place of remembrance. With children, explain in advance why quiet behaviour matters in these areas.

Admission and opening times

Plan your park walk and visits to nearby institutions separately. Church and museum hours, as well as event schedules, do not follow the park grounds’ opening arrangements.

Where to go next

To continue with a cultural visit, look up the Museum of Folk Musical Instruments on the city map and check its opening hours.
