Горькие истории: аудиоэкскурсия по местам Максима Горького

Who is Yegudiyel Khlamida? Why did Alesha Peshkov catch a moon hare? Saturday spankings from grandpa, an escape plan and scalded hands, an unsolved murder in the city center, and hungry children at the Christmas tree, leaving his wife for an actress, and finally, the mystery of the name: Alesha Peshkov or Maxim Gorky. All of these are interesting stories of our excursion.

You will not only walk through the real places of Alesha Peshkov’s life, but also enjoy the views of the central and historical part of the city that Nizhny Novgorod is proud of: the Kremlin, the embankment, the central pedestrian street (“Nizhny Novgorod Arbat”), old houses, and alleys. You will make a wish for successful studies near the Nizhny Novgorod sparrow, a local finch.

During the tour, you will visit the Gorky museum-apartments – branches of the State Museum named after A.M. Gorky. You can visit them by purchasing tickets: adults – 250 rubles, discounted – 150 rubles, children under 7 years old enter for free. And if you want to have a snack, there are plenty of cafes and small restaurants along the route. The tour is on foot, but there are longer distances between objects that you can cover by scooter or bicycle. They are available for rent on the route.
