Nizhniy Novgorod Travel Guide
Russia
Nizhniy Novgorod is a major city in western Russia, with a population of 1,251,332. It stands at the meeting point of the Volga and Oka rivers and is an important urban centre in the country.
Most visitors arriving by air use Strigino International Airport (GOJ), the airport serving the city. Nizhniy Novgorod is inland, and there are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres, so it is better approached as a riverside city than a beach destination.
