    Hey all, just looking for a thread for those coming to Nizhny for the WC. I am going to be there for two weeks from the States and am looking forward to enjoying the city and it's environs. I am slowly gathering sources of information on things in the city, etc. If you have anything good to add, please join the thread.

    I will be seeing matches 12, 23 30, 42 and 52.

    Should be fun!!!

    I'm heading there and back for a match from Moscow for the day so will only have a few hours to look around before the mind switches to football.

    Current plans:
    - Walk up to Blagoveschenskiy Monastery for the view from Fedorovsky Embankment.
    - Walk down Rozhdestvenskaya street (main street along with Pokvrovka) to the Rozhdestvenskaya Church.
    - Go to Nizhny Novgorod Kremlin (look for tank and for 'victory panel art').
    - Check out the FanFest at the end of street in Minin and Pozharsky Square, near the Chkalov Stairs.
    - Find a nice bar for beers. Some recommended by others: Ale Capone, Pivoteka Hophead, Bootlegger, Shustry Shmel (Frisky Bumblebee), but anywhere will do :) + a big lunch.
    - Go to the stadium and see Sweden battle South Korea!

    I'll be there for a few days (6/25 - 6/28) to catch Switzerland v Costa Rica.

    Only thing I have read about is their kremlin, but haven't done much research beyond that. Looking forward to your discoveries.

    Hi! My name is Ruslan, I live in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia. As you know, NN takes 6 matches, and I am glad to invite you to my hometown.

    I read that many fans are afraid of various problems of travelling to Russia. Of course, it takes place, but I am sure that these problems are not very big. If anyone has ANY questions about Nizhny Novgorod I am ready to answer (if I know an answer:) ). Also I would like to say that NN is the nearest of cities-hosts from Moscow (about 400 km) and is located between Moscow, Kazan and Saransk. NN is very large, has many places that you should see. I think you should use a chance and visit to NN for a few days. I will try to meet you at the railway station, I will give you advice, if you ask me, I will rent you my apartment at a not big price, I will show you my native city and introduce you to my family. Come to the NN with your family – it’s a best way to friendship between our peoples.

    I wait Your messages on e-mail: fro_rn@list.ru

    Anyone know if there are any WhatsApp groups for Nizhny Novogorod?

    If not I could start one.

    What a great resource to have seats with different colors, it gives the sensation of the stadium being full
