The main attractions of Ulyanovsk: Top 17

According to archaeologists, the Ulyanovsk region was one of the first to be inhabited by people 100 thousand years ago during the Paleolithic era. Later, tribes of the Imenkovo culture, Bulgars, Tatars and other peoples lived there. The modern borders of the region began to take shape in the 40s of the 17th century, when the construction of the fortress of Sinbirsk, later Simbirsk (presumably named after one of the Bulgar khans) began.

In the 18th century, the city became the center of the Simbirsk province, which was part of the Kazan province. Catherine the Second, Emelyan Pugachev, Suvorov and Pushkin visited there, but the settlement gained the greatest fame thanks to its most famous native, Vladimir Lenin. In his honor, the city of Simbirsk was named Ulyanovsk, and the region became Ulyanovsk.

Now there are monuments reflecting its history, including the Lenin Memorial, which has no analogues in the world, ancient churches and modern attractions.

For ease of route planning, we have marked all the mentioned attractions on the city map:

Civil Aviation History Museum

Anyone who dreamed of becoming a pilot as a child must visit the amazing aircraft reserve in Ulyanovsk at least once. In the open air, the founders of the museum collected about 4,000 airplanes, helicopters and other types of aircraft on an area of 17 hectares!

Once on the territory of this unique attraction of Ulyanovsk, you will learn how the civil aviation industry was born in the distant past and what it has come to at the moment. Here you can find both ancient rarities of aircraft and more recent models of jet aircraft. Individual specimens are very rare in our country and throughout the world.

The house in the courtyard of which that same little Volodya Lenin “with a curly head” and “in felt boots” was running along an ice slide, at that time still being Ulyanov. Here he grew up, played and, of course, “studied, studied and studied again.”

This place takes visitors back to those distant years when Lenin was still very young, and perhaps was just beginning to think about politics.

Modern objects of Ulyanovsk, interesting to visit

Presidential Bridge. The bridge connects the city with the region. Its construction took more than 20 years and ended in 2009. The length of the metal bridge is almost 5.9 km. Until the end of 2021, it was the longest in all of Russia.

The distinctive features are 2 facts: firstly, every spectator is involved in the performance in one way or another, and secondly, in several productions from the theater’s repertoire, the artists do not utter a single word from the stage, trying to convey all the experiences of their characters with gestures and facial expressions and acting. Ticket prices start from 300 rubles.

Historical and Memorial Center-Museum of I. A. Goncharov

Another interesting place in Ulyanovsk for tourists. The museum is organized in the house of the great Russian writer, where he lived and worked. Perhaps it was in this room that the image of that very Oblomov that the reader remembered was born.

Particular attention should be paid to the exhibition department. The exhibition is based on the personal belongings of Ivan Goncharov and his relatives and friends. All of them are genuine. The excursions are very interesting and educational, revealing to us different sides of the author’s personality.

The center has its own hall where cultural events are held, there is a conference room, and a library. A children's center has also been created.

"Seasonal" attractions

Depending on the time of year, you can relax in Ulyanovsk in different ways. In summer, visit the city beaches. The most popular of them is the Central Beach on the Volga, which is equipped with sports and children's playgrounds, swimming pools, cafeterias, water and land attractions. The beach is clean and well-groomed; the coastal area is regularly cleaned.

The beach is located not far from the Imperial Bridge. Object coordinates - 54.308405; 48.414085.

During the New Year holidays, the largest city tree is installed on Lenin Square

Monument to Nikolai Karamzin

In this monument to Ulyanovsk, the sculptor very subtly reflected the style of the era of classicism, during which the great Russian historian Nikolai Mikhailovich Karamzin lived and conducted his research. On the pedestal we see a statue of the muse of history, Clio. In one hand she has the tablets of immortality, in the other a trumpet. Below is a bust of the historian himself in a recessed niche. The other ends depict stories from the writer’s life in the form of high reliefs. Among them is his dialogue with the emperor; the next one depicts the sad death of the author.

This monument is not only to a prominent figure in Russian historical science, but also to the invaluable works that he left behind.

Where else can you go?

Children are the greatest explorers in our world, so the more we expand the boundaries of this world for them, the more developed they will become. In addition, not only children, but also parents, who are increasingly asking the question: where to go with their children, need a break from their usual surroundings and everyday life? What exactly can our city of Ulyanovsk offer?

It is not difficult to answer this question for residents of a large city, since the variety of services offered is amazing - these include amusement parks in shopping centers, and all kinds of master classes, and children's cafes, a zoo, a circus, a puppet theater, a horse yard, a dolphinarium, and a swimming pool.

But a small city also cares about the comprehensive development of its small residents. On the Internet, as a rule, there is a page with a name like “children’s poster of the city of Ulyanovsk,” where all upcoming or ongoing events for children are collected.

Another great invention of recent years is family clubs, which organize leisure time for children and adults, based on the city’s resources. Staging performances for children of different ages, organizing holidays, readings and tea parties in a sincere family atmosphere, excursions to enterprises (post office, theater backstage, factory, fire station), where you would never get to with a child on an individual basis.

The city of Ulyanovsk also has its own attractions. Of course, a child is unlikely to enjoy a long excursion, but a dosed study with a brief but vivid description of the main events is exactly what is needed.

Even if their historical value will not be so interesting to children, it is necessary to introduce them, tell them and show them the riches of their native land - be it a beautiful landscape, industrial buildings or ancient buildings, beautiful buildings - it wonderfully develops their horizons and trains their memory.

We are sure that every parent in our city will be able to remember places where they can have fun and interesting time with their child, and share with us. Where do you go with your children?
