Even an experienced tourist will be surprised by the beauty of the sights of the Krasnoyarsk Territory and its capital. The rich history of the city is reflected in various cultural monuments. Unique sacred places are imbued with the spirit of antiquity, architectural structures create a unique image, and cultural institutions instill a sense of beauty in residents and tourists. The region perfectly combines centuries-old history and modernity.
Chapel of Paraskeva Pyatnitsa
The chapel is familiar to the older generation of Russians, because it was depicted on ten-ruble bills. In ancient times, the green hipped roof of the shrine was visible from anywhere in Krasnoyarsk. The Chapel of Paraskeva Pyatnitsa has its own history. On the site of the shrine there originally stood a building from the early 19th century, built by a merchant as gratitude for being saved from death while crossing the Yenisei. A newer building with eight sides, which can be seen today, was built by the philanthropist and gold miner Kuznetsov.
To this day, at noon, the area near the chapel is shaken by a cannon shot. In the evening, many tourists visit the shrine to look at the city from above.
Biryusinsky Caves
Biryusa Caves is a whole cave complex located near the Biryusa River in the Krasnoyarsk region. It consists of 70 caves with amazingly beautiful sinter formations and complex terrain. The length of the corridors of the largest cave is 5 km, and the depth decrease is 170 m.
Most of the grottoes, passages and manholes were discovered by hunters hunting in these places, and new ones are being excavated by speleologists. Almost every cave, descent or grotto has its own name and a beautiful legend of its discovery. The most visited caves include: Divnogorskaya, Lunnaya, Kubinskaya, Geneva, Zhemchuzhnaya, Raduzhnaya, Belaya, Kristalnaya, Seven Wonders of the World, Royal Gates, etc. No less beautiful and interesting names for the descents and grottoes: Magic Labyrinth, Rings of Saturn, Squeezer, Pit of Fools, etc.
Reserve "Stolby"
The list of natural attractions of the Krasnoyarsk Territory usually opens with the Stolby Nature Reserve. Citizens and guests of the city are happy to come to the spurs of the Eastern Sayan Mountains to relax. Incredible nature, clean and fragrant air due to coniferous trees and grasses captivate the body and soul. In the area you can meet taiga birds and animals, try wild berries and collect a basket of mushrooms. If your vacation happened in September, you can also try pine nuts.

There is an unusual-looking house in Krasnoyarsk; if you look at it, it’s immediately clear: it’s an architectural monument. What makes it strange is the combination of wooden modernism with the Gothic style - carved wood lace and a spire with arches. This 19th century mansion belonged to merchant Frieda Zuckerman.

The main and most extensive of the attractions of the Krasnoyarsk Territory is the harsh, mysterious, majestic and very beautiful northern nature, the splendor and generosity of which is so vast that it is definitely impossible to see everything not only in one vacation, but also in several years of living in the region.
The most famous landmark of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, which immediately comes to mind when mentioning the region, is, of course, the famous Krasnoyarsk Pillars - an amazing creation of nature, consisting of numerous high rocks, shaped like pillars. But besides them, there is something to admire in the Krasnoyarsk Territory - for example, by going to the Ergaki or Bolshoi Arctic nature reserves. In the first, tourists will be greeted by breathtaking mountain landscapes and amazingly beautiful waterfalls, in the second - permafrost in all its splendor - don’t be surprised, the seemingly lifeless Arctic expanses are extremely diverse with different forms of animal and plant life. You can learn more about permafrost in its own museum in the city of Igarka. One of the most mysterious places in Russia, the Tunguska Nature Reserve, is also located in the Krasnoyarsk Territory. More than a hundred years ago, an unknown space object fell here, and there is still no clarity on this matter - whether it was a meteorite or mysterious experiments on energy transfer.
Skiers will appreciate the winter resort of Bobrovy Log on the slopes of the Eastern Sayan Mountains - by the way, it is no less interesting here in the summer, when there is an amusement park on its territory. Well, you can get an excursion into the recent history of the Fatherland in the village of Shushenskoye - here you know who whiled away the hours of exile; In addition, it’s worth taking a walk through an authentic Siberian village preserved from the end of the 19th century.
Triumphal Arch
A great photo can be taken against the backdrop of the magnificent structure built in 2003. The architectural monument was built in honor of the 375th anniversary of the founding of the city. According to legend, in 1628, the Cossacks first landed on the banks of the Yenisei and founded a fort, which later became a metropolis.
However, the Arc de Triomphe, as conceived by the authors, is a memory of the feat of the victorious people in the Great Patriotic War. In appearance, the building looks very solemn and elegant. This effect was achieved thanks to the polished stone that served as the cladding of the arch.
Manskaya loop
If you have transport, then another countryside attraction that is worth visiting in dry weather (preferably in summer) is the Manskaya Loop or Perekop. This is the name of the peak from which a view opens onto the bizarre bend of the Mana River - the riverbed makes a large loop.
Get to Mansky village, then along the street. Krasnoyarskaya and Solnechnaya go down to the river bank (until the road comes to a dead end). Then you will have to follow the path along the left bank (about 20-30 minutes) until a high peak appears on the left - turn left into the woods and climb up to it along the path. From the mountain there is a view of the loop and the taiga.
Map:Important Note:
- the climb up the mountain is very slippery - wear comfortable shoes (no flip-flops or sneakers with smooth soles) and avoid hiking in the rain.
Big Ben Tower
Like London, Krasnoyarsk boasts a Big Ben very similar to the original one. The tower has 4 dials, each 6.5 meters in diameter and weighing one and a half tons. The city authorities began construction back in 1977, but after some time they froze the project for unknown reasons. The tower was remembered again in 2000. The following year, in the fall, construction work was completed. A new attraction has appeared in Krasnoyarsk - the pride of the townspeople and a favorite place for city guests.
Observation deck "Tsar Fish"
In the village of Ovsyanka, Krasnoyarsk region, there is a unique and interesting cultural site - the Tsar Fish observation deck on a steep cliff at an altitude of 300 m above the Yenisei. This site was created in the 70s. XX century as a memory of a local native - writer V.P. Astafiev.
In 2004, a metal monument to the Tsar Fish, the Yenisei sturgeon, 4 m high and weighing 300 kg, was installed on the site, after which the site received its modern name. In addition, they plan to build a watchtower in this place according to drawings from the 17th century.
River Station
The station building was built in 1952. Many people note that for such structures the river station in Krasnoyarsk looks incredibly aesthetically pleasing. But this is not without reason. The two-story mansion with columns and a quadrangular rotunda with a long spire on the roof was originally built for an art gallery. However, the chief architect decided to move the cultural site from the embankment. The exhibits moved, and the building became a place where passengers come - a river station.
House of the Father
The wooden house is today considered an architectural monument. In addition, the structure is very well preserved, even though it was built in 1911. The architecture of the mansion differs from others by its obvious mixture of European and Russian styles. The rectangular side openings of the walls go well with the lancet windows, and the figured carvings on the decorative elements in the style of Warsaw buildings are in harmony with the figured platbands of Siberian houses. An unusual two-story mansion was built for the curator of the Svyatopolk-Mirsky church. Today, the architectural monument serves as a building for the music school and church administration.
Anashensky pine forest
Anashensky Bor is a unique pine forest with a length of 18 km and an area of 5.85 hectares on the right bank of the Yenisei in the Krasnoyarsk region. This place is classified as a specially protected area as a botanical natural monument, formed in 1987 to preserve a unique forest area.
Even after many years of studying this beautiful and unusual place, experts cannot answer why it stretches from west to east precisely in the direction of the prevailing winds. Another inexplicable point is that mixed forests predominate in the region, and the forest consists of dark coniferous forest with beautiful slender and even pine trees.
Moreover, their root system is of a surface type, not an anchor type, although there are no rock formations under the ground that would impede the growth of tap roots.
Museum of Local Lore
One of the main attractions of the city is the building of the local history museum. The construction is a reconstruction of a temple from the times of Ancient Egypt. The institution was founded in 1889 and boasts a large collection of original antiquities (more than 145 thousand). The exhibition contains personal belongings of the great inhabitants of the region:
- Dmitry Hvorostovsky is a world-famous opera singer.
- Vasily Ivanovich Surikov - a great academician and artist.
- Viktor Petrovich Astafiev - Soviet and Russian writer.
One of the main halls of the museum is specially reserved for exhibits showing the historical development of the peoples of Siberia. Items include incredible archaeological finds, wax figures of herders, hunters and warriors in original clothing.
Museum workers give tours of the halls. Ticket price: for children and students - 40 rubles, for pensioners - 50 rubles, and for adults - 100 rubles.
Museum-Estate of Vasily Surikov

The museum of the painter Vasily Surikov is located in the center of Krasnoyarsk, in the house where the artist was born. The two-story hut made of larch was built by the painter’s parents in the 1830s. Surikov lived here until he was 20 years old, and from here he went to St. Petersburg to study painting. He recalled: “Siberia near the Yenisei is a country full of great and unique beauty. For hundreds of miles there is virgin forest of the taiga with its wild animals. And all this was cut through by the wide historical Siberian highway with its rich villages.” In the 1930s, the artist’s daughters Olga Konchalovskaya and Elena Surikova donated the house to the city.
In 1948, on the centenary of the artist’s birth, the Vasily Surikov House Museum was opened in the building. The interiors were restored according to old drawings and documents.
Now he is third in the world in terms of the number of paintings by a painter in the collection: the family of philanthropist Pyotr Kuznetsov donated almost all the paintings they owned. In 1978, the outbuilding, which the Surikov family had previously rented out to tenants, also became the property.
The museum contains pencil drawings by Vasily Surikov, his letters and photographs, sketches for the famous paintings “Boyarina Morozova”, “Suvorov’s Crossing of the Alps”, “Taking the Snowy Town”. The exhibition also features a seven-string guitar by Vasily Surikov: he was engaged not only in painting, but also in music. One of the exhibits is a collection of sonatas by Ludwig van Beethoven with notes from the artist. On the ground floor, where the Surikov family lived, today you can see the personal belongings of the artist’s mother: clothes, handicrafts, dishes.
Organ Hall
The building of the organ hall in Krasnoyarsk has a very rich history. The cultural monument is located on the site of a Catholic church, built in 1911 according to all the canons of the Gothic style. However, the shrine was used for its intended purpose for only nine years. After the revolution, the building constantly changed its purpose.
At some time the building was used as a warehouse, at another - as a radio committee.
But at the end of the 20th century, they decided to restore the temple, and one of the Czech companies producing musical instruments began manufacturing a large organ consisting of two thousand pipes. For the first time, majestic melodies sounded in the temple in 1983. Today you can get to an organ concert by purchasing a ticket costing from 200 to 400 rubles.
