Things to Do  

Sculptures on Komsomolsky Prospekt

Sculptures on Komsomolsky Prospekt, Perm'

 bugulma Says:  In the alley of the Komsomolsky Prospekt there are several modern sculptures. The official site says it is the local program of the modern culture and the sculptures were places in 2009. Quite interesting to see it. Some photos are in the travelogue as well. 

the great church-interior

the great church-interior, Perm'

 globetrott Says:  When I came to this church a church-service was going on and so I could just take a few photographs through the open door, so that nobody could feel disturbed. This church is without doubt the most beautiful that you will find in Perm, but most probably it normally closed...

Nightlife  

Discoteka / Kafe: close to the cruise-port

Discoteka / Kafe: close to the cruise-port, Perm'

 globetrott Says:  This russian Discotheque and Cafe is the only place where you will be able to take a drink in the evening next to the cruiseport. It was almost empty, with just a very small dancing-floor and no local people around. This might be better during the high season of cruising. We... 

Russian Billiards

Russian Billiards, Perm'

 nut_meg Says:  Well this could go under anywhere in Russia, I just did it in Perm' first and so felt it needed to go here. There is a billiards club just around the right hand corner to Hotal Ural (see Hotel Ural tip/info for location) and through an archway. It gets cheaper the later in... 

Transportation  

take the Transsibirean Railway to get to Perm

take the Transsibirean Railway to get to Perm, Perm'

 globetrott Says:  Perm is one of the main stations of the Transsibirian Railway, in a distance of 1397 Km east of Moscow. Take a look at my link, I found it in a german brochure of a travelagency, so these prices are just in order to give you an idea, how much it would be. With these trains... 

From the airport

From the airport, Perm'

 bugulma Says:  There is the mini-bus 1T that stops in front of the airport building and goes to the central market of the city. The time depends on the traffic. On the weekend we did it for 30 minutes around. The central market is the place where many public transport stops (though we then...

To..., Perm'

 bugulma Says:  The best way to get the city is by plane. From Moscow there are several flights to Perm by S7 Airlines, Aeroflot, Skyexpress as well as Lufthansa. The flight is 2 hours around. The airport is in 20 kilometers from the city. The ticket Moscow-Perm and back is RUR 6000 (EUR... 

By air to Perm

By air to Perm, Perm'

 globetrott Says:  I arrived by Sibirian Airways on a flight from Moscow to Perm and I had to set back the clock 2 hours upon arrival. The airport is not very big and also not really well organized. The luggage of all airplanes arrives in a tiny belt conveyer, there is just a small cafe in the... 

The cruise-port of Perm

The cruise-port of Perm, Perm'

 globetrott Says:  This is the cruise-port of Perm, in the north of the city and at the same time opposite of the station of the Transsiberian Railway."Rich-noi Vauxhall" is the russian word for it and it might be good to remember it, when you intend to take a taxi from the airport or from the... 

walking is the best way to explore Perm

walking is the best way to explore Perm, Perm'

 globetrott Says:  95% of the most interesting places that you will see on my Perm-page I did explore by walking after the guided bustour that was a part of our cruise-arrangements. That way I had an idea, where to go and what to look for and half a day should be enough for such a walk through... 

a paradise when it comes to fuel-prices

a paradise when it comes to fuel-prices, Perm'

 globetrott Says:  Take a look at my photograph and you will see the cheap fuel-prices of Russia in May 2008 , These prices per litre are around 50% less than in Austria, where we had a price of 1,30 euro at that time and against the fuelprices in Germany, Italy or Netherlands you would even... 

Shopping  

Piratski Sunduk / Pirate accesories: a great antique-shop

Piratski Sunduk / Pirate accesories: a great antique-shop, Perm'

 globetrott Says:  Piratski Sunduk is the name of this great Antique-shop and they also have a wide selection of nautical accesories, like the ones that you will see on my photographs. I really never expected to see such things for sale in Russia, at least not outside of Moscow and St.... 

Off The Beaten Path  

the building in blue

the building in blue, Perm'

 globetrott Says:  This building in blue is next to the State Theatre of Ballet & Opera and maybe its a hospital or university, the tourguide did not mention it at all, while we were passing by. It is a nice building anyway and worth seeing in my opinion for its great architecture, dating back... 

Papa Lenin did not have to go into Exile

Papa Lenin did not have to go into Exile, Perm'

 globetrott Says:  While in many other places of Russia the monuments for Papa Lenin had been taken away after the last revolution in 1989, here in Perm nobody forced him to retire and so you will see his monuments still :The one on my main photograph is close to the sculpture with the big... 

the sad end to a funny idea

the sad end to a funny idea, Perm'

 globetrott Says:  It is a pity that this great restaurant / bar is out of function nowadays. Unfortunately it burned out but it certainly was great fun, while in operation: this former gliding-boat that was decorated in a funny way like a shark can be found directely at the place, where the... 

the monument for the Transsiberian Railway

the monument for the Transsiberian Railway, Perm'

 globetrott Says:  The old building of the Transsiberian Railway is under restauration at the moment and next to it you will find an old steam-locomotive placed there as a monument. That might be interesting for train-amateurs and you will even find it very close to the ship-station. It might... 

the monument for the founder of the city

the monument for the founder of the city, Perm'

 globetrott Says:  Vasilij Nikititsch was the founder of the city of Perm and you will see his monument next to this old part of Perm, where 40 or 50 wooden houses are still to be seen like they had been built 200 years ago or even more. Some of them are in a very bad condition but people are... 

a great building

a great building, Perm'

 globetrott Says:  This is another great building that I passed by, while walking from the cruise-port to the city of Perm. Seems to be an adminstration-office or something similar, the building on my main photograph has 2 large lions standing at the entrance-gate.
