Novosibirsk is Russia's third-largest city and the unofficial capital of Siberia. Founded in 1893 as a railway settlement during the construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway bridge over the Ob River, it grew explosively — becoming a city of over a million in just 70 years, the fastest growth in world history at the time. Today it's a major scientific center, home to Akademgorodok ('Academic City'), a unique research hub built in the Siberian forest.
A unique 'Science City' built in the 1950s in the Siberian taiga forest, home to dozens of research institutes and Novosibirsk State University. A utopian vision of Soviet science come to life.
The largest theatre building in Russia (and one of the largest in the world), bigger than the Bolshoi. Its dome rivals St. Peter's Basilica in size. Built during WWII as a symbol of Soviet resilience.
One of Russia's best zoos, famous for its rare liger (lion-tiger hybrid) and successful breeding programs for endangered species. Over 11,000 animals of 770 species.
A scenic waterfront along the mighty Ob River (one of the world's longest). In summer, beaches and boat trips; in winter, ice fishing and snow-covered landscapes.
An open-air museum with over 100 locomotives and carriages from the Trans-Siberian Railway's history, including rare steam engines from the 1890s.
Novosibirsk grew from 0 to 1 million people in just 70 years — a world record at the time
The city's opera theatre is larger than the Bolshoi in Moscow
Akademgorodok has more PhDs per capita than anywhere else in Russia
Novosibirsk is the exact geographical center of Russia
The Trans-Siberian Railway bridge over the Ob River (1897) gave birth to the city
