I learned about this observation platform in Sochi quite by accident from reviews, did not even know about its existence, although I had already traveled here many times. It’s funny that some good places we find aren’t as a result of targeted searches, but simply by coincidence circumstances. Honestly, I like these places more than those about which I previously found out all interesting. The people – Species The tower, in the past – the Rosa Vetrov cafe, in the present – the Panorama cafe. In fact, it does not matter what the name is now, but what is important is that there there is an observation deck overlooking the city and the sea. Located on top of the hill, in the middle of the Alpine street of the city of Sochi.

Observation deck in Sochi
I drove here on the navigator on YandexCards, hit the second time – inadvertently slipped a turn into a hill. If you go here on car, you will understand that such an error in the area is quite excusable. You are waited by a grid of narrow streets with differences in height and sharp turns, brutal traffic and driving features in Sochi – All this does not allow to relax for a second. Once distracted – flew right place and then you can search for half an hour reversal. But be that as it may, I found the tower.
Directly near the Species Tower in Sochi there is a parking a pocket for several cars combined with a bus stop. I saw this from the height of the third floor of the former Rose. Winds, and he himself parked on the slope of the Alpine street in one hundred meters below the tower. There’s a wide roadside and lots of cars. in front of a residential building, so that was my option. With parking on the slope do not forget to unscrew the wheels so that the car did not roll away far in the event of anything, and for the same occasion worth carefully tighten the handbrake.
I got into the Rose of the Winds after hours, when visitors are still was not, and from the staff – only the girl behind the bar, which sold me a bottle of forfeits and said that the entrance to the tower for outsiders paid.
Climbed up the spiral staircase, peering along the way for 2 floors, which are reserved for the cafeteria. The first is an open veranda, the second – a closed room with air conditioning: cozy, but space is very small.

The upper third floor is an open observation deck with top decorated with the Rose of the Winds and very high railing. So high that sitting on the chair I did not even see stretching his neck. Honestly, the chairs immediately lose their attractiveness, still have to stand. But the views of the 360 degrees
Due to the fact that Species Tower is located in the center of a large city on the mountains, the view is quite interesting, it is quite possible stuck for half an hour, looking at the buildings and recognizing the road interchanges and parks. And from here you can see the Black Sea.

How to get there
I would like to say that it is easier to get here by car than on bus, but I will not say. Here its nuances “with a minus” and the main thing is traffic jams and intricate geography. The tower is on one side Alpine street, on top of a hill. No navigator is better here is not so write yourself the address: Alpine street, 28. There is Parking nearby, but it is common, does not apply to cafes. Parking cafe considered the space under the iron fence – here you can Parallel to park several cars on the road.
If you are going to go by public transport, then you will help bus number 8, which departs from the Marine Station every 25 minutes. Look in advance on Yandex maps, where it is more convenient for you to catch it. From a stop to go literally a minute, it is called “Species Tower”.
