Ship Grove
At the end of Korabelnaya Street there is a wonderful corner of nature - the famous grove depicted in Shishkin’s painting. This forest is not only a natural monument.
Valuable wood was used to build ships during the time of Peter the Great. Peasant lashmans delivered logs to the Kazan shipyard in various ways.
holy key
The Holy Key spring is the most famous place in Nizhnekamsk. According to legend, the Muslim Mohammed discovered an icon of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker near a spring. Since the 17th century, this place has been revered by both Muslims and Orthodox Christians.
For the 35th anniversary of Nizhnekamsk, the area around the spring was cleared and other work was carried out to improve the territory. Now not a single excursion route passes by this amazing corner of Nizhnekamsk.
Excursion programs of Nizhnekamsk
Not all tourists prefer to explore new places on their own, and many like to be accompanied by guides or tour guides. Anyone can choose their favorite excursion program according to their preferences.
For example, “The City of the Youth of Our Fathers” is a sightseeing tour of the city and requires physical fitness from the tourist, as you will have to walk a lot. And for lovers of comfort or for travelers with children, the excursion “My Sunny City on the Kama” is perfect. The problem of choosing where to go with children in Nizhnekamsk will immediately disappear by itself. This tour will not be onerous because it is a bus tour. Local agencies providing such services will help you choose the most interesting option, taking into account the preferences of travelers. You can arrange an individual tour.
Comprehensive Museum
In the city center, the attention of tourists is attracted by a building of an original shape, reminiscent of a fairy-tale castle. There is a large exhibition dedicated to different aspects of life in the city of petrochemists. A large exhibition tells about the natural resources of the region.

Ice Palace
Finally, when talking about the sights of Nizhnekamsk, I would like to mention such a place as the Ice Palace. In the city it is located in the Neftekhimik sports complex.
It is equipped with the world's latest technological systems. This is a “breathing” roof, water purification systems, microclimate separation and lighting. In addition, the modern architecture of this building is worthy of tourists’ attention.

Parks and monuments, streets
Gabdulla Tukay Park
Address: between Khimikov Avenue and Yunosti Street Cost: free admission
The park was rebuilt at the same time as the library, so it acquired its first and main feature - it became a place for reading and relaxation. All conditions have been created for this: comfortable benches in the alleys and fountains, near which even on a hot day it is not hot to leaf through a familiar book.
The second feature of the park is its theme. Next to the library and the stage there is a stand-book with a biography of the famous Tatar writer Tukay, as well as excerpts from his famous works.
Along the alleys there are paths leading to a reading area for children, filled with figures of heroes of Tatar folk tales and works of the writer. In the “Tukaevsky” corner you can do anything: sit on the grass and read, run on the lawn and have a picnic. There are no restrictions.
There is an interesting corner here. Its secret can only be discovered at night: the pavement tiles near Koza, Baran and Byltyr shimmer, creating national patterns - Tatar tulips.
A little less than half of the park is occupied by an area for sports and games. The complexes are installed for children of different ages. Little ones can ride down the slides and swing on the swings, while older ones can practice on the turnstiles, wall bars, rings and crossbars.
All recreation areas of the park with great features are united by the monument to Gabdulla Tukay.
Lemaev Square
Address: next to N. Lemaev Square
From an abandoned and dilapidated Lemaev Square, under the leadership of Emil Sirazentdinov, it turned into one of the most popular recreational places for city residents.
Alleys paved with paving stones with media stands telling about the history of Nizhnekamsk and its inhabitants diverge from the main entrance 450 m deep into the square. It is better for children to go through the “Steps of Creativity”: a game with geoplastics, music, drawing, chess, and an arts stage in the form of an amphitheater.
It’s worth taking a walk through the square in the evening to reach the renovated fountain, which has a light attraction - a laser projection of the logos of the city’s factories and factories, as well as portraits of the city’s celebrities.
The park's organizers took care of safety - the paths were equipped with night lighting and video surveillance.
Chemists Avenue
One of the largest streets in Neftekamsk, on which there are 211 houses, interesting places and businesses.
To get acquainted with the architectural features of the city, it is worth driving through it: green trees and shrubs, residential and office premises, night illumination will amaze with their brevity, purity of form and beauty. The avenue is the face of the city.

Updated in the year of the city's fiftieth anniversary. Changes have taken place at the European level. Red carpets with elegant benches lead to the restored and reconstructed buildings on the embankment.
The pier became bright, attracting the eyes of tourists from the river: on the retaining walls there are white seagulls against the background of blue waves and a red key, a symbol of the embankment. A 50-meter-high light and music fountain shoots out from the Kama, its jets dancing to the music are illuminated at night.
Near the shore there is the Lower Embankment with Scandinavian-style houses for selling food and souvenirs. The entire pedestrian area, paved with paving stones, is divided into a recreation area, decorated with flowers in huge flowerpots, and a bicycle lane.
A landmark of the embankment is the recently built museum named after Ahsan Fatkhutdinov. It is located in an unusual house from an architectural point of view and is intended for exhibitions of the artist’s original works dedicated to Gabdulla Tukai.
Nizhnekamsk Maidan
Address: Ilyinka village, st. Ozernaya Directions: route No. 105 “Nizhnekamsk - Ilyinka”
The gathering place for city residents during national holidays, concerts, performances, festivals and competitions is a concert venue 3 km from Neftekamsk.

The Ilyinka sports complex with a hippodrome and a highway was built nearby.
Cathedral Mosque
The place of prayer for Nizhnekamsk Muslims is located near residential buildings, 1.5 km from the central part of the city. The religious building has an unconventional volumetric composition.
The authors of the project are architect Khanov and designer Sabitov. The construction of the Cathedral Mosque lasted seven years. In 1996, the first prayer was held in the mosque.

Khimikov Avenue
Any city has a central street, but in Nizhnekamsk it is Khimikov Avenue. It stretches along the entire city for a distance of 11.5 km. You don’t even need to think too hard about where to go in Nizhnekamsk, you can just take a walk along the avenue. It is especially charming in spring, when many trees bloom. The aroma from apple tree alleys stretches throughout the avenue. It seems that it not only envelops him, but also spreads deeply throughout the entire town.
Tourists and guests who choose this city for their holidays often have questions about what to see and where to go. In Nizhnekamsk there is always a choice. In addition to walking along the avenue, you can visit the city park, where the television tower is located. This is truly a city with a lot of green spaces, such as parks, alleys and squares.
Church of the Intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Three kilometers from the city, in the village of Bolshoye Afanasyevo, a two-altar church built in the 19th century has been preserved. The first church that appeared in the village was wooden.
The temple, consecrated in the name of the Intercession of the Most Holy Theotokos, stood for more than a century. In 1817, the clergy decided to build a stone church, because fires in those years destroyed many wooden churches. The stone church was erected with donations from patrons and concerned citizens.
Address: pos. Bolshoye Afanasyevo, st. Central, 61.
Church of the Resurrection
The beautiful stone single-throne church is another important local attraction. Despite the fact that it is a relatively recent construction (early 2000s), the church is very popular among local residents. Its walls contain valuable icons that are of great importance to believers. Thanks to the partial decoration of red stone, the external decoration of the temple looks very festive and elegant.
You can visit this religious site any day of the week.
Location: Muradyan street - 5.
