Ship Grove
At the end of Korabelnaya Street there is a wonderful corner of nature - the famous grove depicted in Shishkin’s painting. This forest is not only a natural monument.
Valuable wood was used to build ships during the time of Peter the Great. Peasant lashmans delivered logs to the Kazan shipyard in various ways.
Monument to the Defenders of the Motherland
A tall, light obelisk with a star on top, the Eternal Flame, as well as memorial steles represent a single image of the monument to the defenders of the Motherland. Its opening was timed to coincide with the 40th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War. Near the memorial there are several pieces of military equipment.
Location: Lemaev Square.
holy key
The Holy Key spring is the most famous place in Nizhnekamsk. According to legend, the Muslim Mohammed discovered an icon of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker near a spring. Since the 17th century, this place has been revered by both Muslims and Orthodox Christians.
For the 35th anniversary of Nizhnekamsk, the area around the spring was cleared and other work was carried out to improve the territory. Now not a single excursion route passes by this amazing corner of Nizhnekamsk.
Weekend in Nizhnekamsk with children. How to relax in Nizhnekamsk.
A weekend in Nizhnekamsk can provide a storm of positive emotions if you spend it with your family. Go to the city park “Family” and see for yourself. The park is located in the forest. Walking paths pass through it, and the main alley connects two avenues - Shinnikov and Khimiki. A small coffee shop and bike paths will appeal to outdoor enthusiasts. Entertainment for children is provided in the form of a playground, a spray park, a slide, a bungee and rope complexes.
Another great place where you can go in Nizhnekamsk with a child is the Attraction Service. The park has about 20 attractions, and in warm weather a race track opens there and a trampoline is installed. The swimming pool, where anyone can swim on an inflatable boat, will not leave anyone indifferent. After active entertainment, local cafes with delicious ice cream warmly welcome their young and adult visitors.
Vacations involve more than just getting to know the city’s culture and attending events. The city’s beaches cannot go unnoticed during the warm season. A huge number of people gather on the city beach, not far from the Holy Key. Despite the crowds, the coast remains clean throughout the entire holiday season. It is brought into proper shape every day, and as soon as the swimming season ends, a general cleaning is carried out.
The organizers of the holiday also took care of those people who, for various reasons, are embarrassed to sunbathe openly. The doors of the Anchor recreation center, 28 kilometers from Nizhnekamsk, are open for them. Ecologically clean air, boat rentals, forest atmosphere, picnics - all this will allow you to get a dose of pleasure and relax after difficult everyday life. If you decide to spend a weekend in this place, you can rent a log cabin and spend your time in comfort.
Aquatoria is a paid beach that has earned great popularity among the city’s youth circles. During the day it is used as a place to relax and sunbathe, and at night it is time for discos and open-air festivals. Unfortunately, quite recently the beach ceased to fulfill its function, but this did not affect its popularity in any way. Its main purpose is to organize programs of night events.
As mentioned above, the majority of the city’s population is young people. Therefore, it is logical that at night life in Nizhnekamsk is no less active than during the day. The city's nightclubs will allow you to spend time in a warm atmosphere.
Comprehensive Museum
In the city center, the attention of tourists is attracted by a building of an original shape, reminiscent of a fairy-tale castle. There is a large exhibition dedicated to different aspects of life in the city of petrochemists. A large exhibition tells about the natural resources of the region.
Materials about the construction of the city, the first inhabitants, and archival documents about the creation of a local petrochemical plant were collected. The museum is located near the Kama Hotel. Please note: closed on Sunday!
Address: ave. Builders, 14.
Embankment of the Kama River
The city embankment is created for pleasant walks in good company. The view of the city on one side and the Kama River on the other creates a pleasant, refreshing atmosphere and fills you with a good mood.
Evening embankment is a charming place. Numerous lanterns lit along the entire walking area give a feeling of calm and set the mood for a romantic mood.
When arranging the embankment, the wishes of the townspeople were taken into account and stairs were provided that make it possible to go down directly to the water.
Nizhnekamsk Maidan

Parks and monuments, streets
Gabdulla Tukay Park
Address: between Khimikov Avenue and Yunosti Street Cost: free admission
The park was rebuilt at the same time as the library, so it acquired its first and main feature - it became a place for reading and relaxation. All conditions have been created for this: comfortable benches in the alleys and fountains, near which even on a hot day it is not hot to leaf through a familiar book.
The second feature of the park is its theme. Next to the library and the stage there is a stand-book with a biography of the famous Tatar writer Tukay, as well as excerpts from his famous works.
Along the alleys there are paths leading to a reading area for children, filled with figures of heroes of Tatar folk tales and works of the writer. In the “Tukaevsky” corner you can do anything: sit on the grass and read, run on the lawn and have a picnic. There are no restrictions.
There is an interesting corner here. Its secret can only be discovered at night: the pavement tiles near Koza, Baran and Byltyr shimmer, creating national patterns - Tatar tulips.
A little less than half of the park is occupied by an area for sports and games. The complexes are installed for children of different ages. Little ones can ride down the slides and swing on the swings, while older ones can practice on the turnstiles, wall bars, rings and crossbars.
All recreation areas of the park with great features are united by the monument to Gabdulla Tukay.
Lemaev Square
Address: next to N. Lemaev Square
From an abandoned and dilapidated Lemaev Square, under the leadership of Emil Sirazentdinov, it turned into one of the most popular recreational places for city residents.
Alleys paved with paving stones with media stands telling about the history of Nizhnekamsk and its inhabitants diverge from the main entrance 450 m deep into the square. It is better for children to go through the “Steps of Creativity”: a game with geoplastics, music, drawing, chess, and an arts stage in the form of an amphitheater.
It’s worth taking a walk through the square in the evening to reach the renovated fountain, which has a light attraction - a laser projection of the logos of the city’s factories and factories, as well as portraits of the city’s celebrities.
The park's organizers took care of safety - the paths were equipped with night lighting and video surveillance.

Updated in the year of the city's fiftieth anniversary. Changes have taken place at the European level. Red carpets with elegant benches lead to the restored and reconstructed buildings on the embankment.
The pier became bright, attracting the eyes of tourists from the river: on the retaining walls there are white seagulls against the background of blue waves and a red key, a symbol of the embankment. A 50-meter-high light and music fountain shoots out from the Kama, its jets dancing to the music are illuminated at night.
Near the shore there is the Lower Embankment with Scandinavian-style houses for selling food and souvenirs. The entire pedestrian area, paved with paving stones, is divided into a recreation area, decorated with flowers in huge flowerpots, and a bicycle lane.
A landmark of the embankment is the recently built museum named after Ahsan Fatkhutdinov. It is located in an unusual house from an architectural point of view and is intended for exhibitions of the artist’s original works dedicated to Gabdulla Tukai.
Nizhnekamsk Maidan

Khimikov Avenue
Any city has a central street, but in Nizhnekamsk it is Khimikov Avenue. It stretches along the entire city for a distance of 11.5 km. You don’t even need to think too hard about where to go in Nizhnekamsk, you can just take a walk along the avenue. It is especially charming in spring, when many trees bloom. The aroma from apple tree alleys stretches throughout the avenue. It seems that it not only envelops him, but also spreads deeply throughout the entire town.
Tourists and guests who choose this city for their holidays often have questions about what to see and where to go. In Nizhnekamsk there is always a choice. In addition to walking along the avenue, you can visit the city park, where the television tower is located. This is truly a city with a lot of green spaces, such as parks, alleys and squares.
Church of the Intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Three kilometers from the city, in the village of Bolshoye Afanasyevo, a two-altar church built in the 19th century has been preserved. The first church that appeared in the village was wooden.
The temple, consecrated in the name of the Intercession of the Most Holy Theotokos, stood for more than a century. In 1817, the clergy decided to build a stone church, because fires in those years destroyed many wooden churches. The stone church was erected with donations from patrons and concerned citizens.
Address: pos. Bolshoye Afanasyevo, st. Central, 61.
Modern recreation in Nizhnekamsk.
There are enough winter activities in the city to ensure that vacationers never get bored. In the main park you can go ice skating, skiing, tubing, ski-pedaling and even sledding with Siberian huskies. You can ride not only within the park. By renting equipment, you can have a pleasant vacation where you like it most. But this does not apply to dog sleds.
In accordance with the rules, equipment is issued only after payment. The deposit is 2,000 rubles, and if it is impossible to deposit money, the rental point can issue equipment against the security of a passport or other identification card. For winter walks, there are updated paths in Lemaev Square. Near the cinema, against the background of tall fir trees covered with snow, you will get great photos. Ice slides and a Christmas tree town in Solnechnaya Polyana will add some more beautiful photos to the collection.
When traveling by car, many people try to capture more interesting things in a short period of time. For example, in one day in Nizhnekamsk you can visit the Complex Museum. In its non-standard conditions, the life of the region from the beginning to the present is visualized. If you are lucky enough to come to the city during the holiday, the chic activities on the main streets of the park will leave a vivid impression on travelers. In the main park you can ride a Ferris wheel. It is better to do this in the morning to enjoy the beauty of the waking up city. After this, you can walk along the embankment. Along the way, climbing the steep stairs, you will discover the beauty of natural fountains. Even at a leisurely pace, the entire walk will only take a couple of hours. During lunch, you should definitely visit a cafe serving national cuisine. The prices of dishes average 250-300 rubles . Prices for holidays in Nizhnekamsk vary from 1000 to 5000 rubles. This is the cost of rooms in hotels in the city, depending on their level and popularity.

Church of the Resurrection
The beautiful stone single-throne church is another important local attraction. Despite the fact that it is a relatively recent construction (early 2000s), the church is very popular among local residents. Its walls contain valuable icons that are of great importance to believers. Thanks to the partial decoration of red stone, the external decoration of the temple looks very festive and elegant.
You can visit this religious site any day of the week.
Location: Muradyan street - 5.
Ice Palace
Finally, when talking about the sights of Nizhnekamsk, I would like to mention such a place as the Ice Palace. In the city it is located in the Neftekhimik sports complex.
It is equipped with the world's latest technological systems. This is a “breathing” roof, water purification systems, microclimate separation and lighting. In addition, the modern architecture of this building is worthy of tourists’ attention.
A trip to Nizhnekamsk, this young and promising city, can give tourists a lot of positive emotions.
