When I asked Sochi residents about the trip before the trip walking places in the city, they recommended me “Upper embankment “, which I have not heard before, although I come here is not the first time. Googling information, I estimated, that most likely it should be a footpath between Central Quay of Sochi and Ordzhonikidze Street. As it turned out – I guessed right, but the path here is not just a path, but quite official, Feng Shui-guided hiking trail, which is named Historical Boulevard in Sochi. That is, here purposefully lead people show historical sights that i’m here counted 35 pieces.

Historical Boulevard in Sochi
The boulevard is not so many years old, and as I understood it – this is the beginning of some the project on which in Sochi they plan to open with a dozen of such excursion routes. Moreover, for independent tourists they want set up stands with QR codes of objects so that they can receive information about the sights using their smartphones. Walking tour of the Historic Boulevard passes from the Sea Station (at the foot of the Hellenic descent), on the upper tier of Sochi embankment along the hotel Primorskaya, and – to the Winter Theater (garden Sochi Phytophantiasis). All I just wrote is information discovered after the trip when I found myself the boulevard and from the posters on the route found out its correct title.
Therefore (but not unfortunately) of thirty five objects cultural heritage, I paid attention only to some. Why I do not regret the loss? Well, reasoning in terms of the usual a tourist who is not interested in history and architecture, I saw only the brightest locations on the route, which hit this photo report Although no, I’m a little sorry that I am not attentive reviewed a scheme that clearly showed the end point of the trip behind the Winter Theater – a beautiful and cozy garden was laid out there, which would most likely have delighted me. My path ended near Rotunda with mineral water opposite the Winter.
What is good about the Historic Boulevard? Shadow and panorama. Lot shadows along the whole route, wide walking paths, benches, railings along dangerous cliffs, overlooking the sea, several descents to the embankment below, many flowers and interesting buildings. A quick step boulevard can be overcome for 15 minutes, and if you walk with feeling and disposition, it leaves half an hour and longer. The historic Boulevard is a great place to walk in the afternoon heat, and a good sunset place in Sochi. Especially valid view of sunset from the top of the stairs opposite the Pullman Hotel, there still stands the sculpture “Swimmer and Dolphin”.

Parking is expensive – 100 rubles per hour. You can put in special parking (look at the map), and the parking lot of large hotels – the same 100 rubles to the guard on a pocket.
The best views of the sunset – closer to the seaport.
How to get there
By car you can get there quite freely and even search nearby paid parking. Not far from the beginning walking path. They get two: one closer to the Sea To the station, near the cathedral of the Archangel Michael, and one near the Winter theater. Both facilities are on Ordzhonikidze Street, so you don’t get lost even with a paper card.
Pedestrians on the boulevard to get easier. Nearest bus stops from the Marine Station: 15, 36, 101, 114 and 115. And with side of the Winter Theater – bus 115 to the stop “Winter Theater”. I I do not give a stop in the middle of Ordzhonikidze Street, for it is illogical way to inspect the historic boulevard.
