Once on Monday I arrived at the rides in Sochi Park and I learned that they have a day off. What should tourist do when the street is pouring like a bucket, and he is already standing in the middle of Sochi Park? My option: visit the Museum of Retro Cars, which is still popular called Avtomuzey in Sochi. This is a huge pavilion in the north Sochi Park, where dozens of unique ones are gathered under one roof exhibits from the history of the Soviet automobile industry, but I do not know a single a boy from 5 to 45 years old who would stay indifferent to technology. Rating at avtomuzey not the highest, but I imbued with. Whether childhood spent in the Soviet Union, or in principle, some love for cars. Not that I was delighted but did not regret it at all.

Auto Museum in Sochi
Total avtomuzeev in the Olympic Park 2: one with retro cars, and the second one with sports cars (near Formula 1 track), but in the second one I don’t I went, so the pictures in the article will be nostalgic for the USSR. Here really big collection of soviet cars you will not meet on the roads. Hangar chock full of old restored cars, some of which I saw live on the streets of Moscow. And this is not about relatively old, but Nevertheless, modern “penny”, but about “Seagulls”, “VMS” s, “Victory”, carts type SZD and other brands, departed in depth stories.
The only thing the creators of the museum would cost more to pay attention to all sorts of geolocation services for which people like I choose places to visit. If Yandex Maps are written immediately – “retro cars”, for example, on Google maps you need to be more precise designate the subject of the museum. When you see the wrong sign a point on the map, you do not know what is waiting for you only domestic auto industry Perhaps this is why a small rating is given to the museum – due to disappointments and high expectations. Or on the contrary, someone does not want stare at “just cars”, but would gladly have looked at old retro cars, and the museum is losing its customer.
Most of all I was interested to look at very old models that I have not found. For example, vintage fire machine, or a disabled person, known from the movie with Morgunov “Operation YY, all-wheel drive “Victory” and “Victory” – a cabriolet, a short “ZIS” with automatic transmission and speeds up to 200 km / h, and so on. Yes even at the sparkling novelty penny it was nice to look, because that my grandfather owned exactly the same. And may I see her later in throughout his life, and even went to her passenger is not so long ago. But now, how many people remember that there was a penny wagon, and more precisely “two”. I remember that. Like all AvtoVAZ models under numbers from 1 to 12, which I learned as a child I do not know what for.

How to get there
On a private car from Sochi and the old Adler you need to get there. on the highway A-147. Take the road sign to the exit Krasnaya Polyana and Rosa Khutor. If you are coming from Krasnaya Polyana, then at the entrance to Adler, go in the direction of Adler-Merry. Look out for road signs to the Olympic Park and beyond – aim for Olympic Avenue. There are a lot of free parking, including free, and I would choose a place closer to the central entrance to Sochi Park.
It is even easier to travel by public transport than by private car. Swallow three times a day you can get to the railway station Olympic Park (the schedule is changing, so watch it on the Russian Railways website). After exiting the station, you immediately find yourself on the territory Olympic Park, from where a straight line to the museum is 10 minutes slow step by step.
