Theater
You can please a girl and intrigue her with your sophistication by inviting her to the theater. Voronezh is a theater city. There is an Opera and Ballet Theater, a Philharmonic Society, and the State Chamber Theater. So, where to go with a girl in Voronezh? You can surprise your chosen one by buying tickets to the performance of the Voronezh State Puppet Theater “The Jester”. The theater building itself attracts with its unusual architecture and creates a romantic mood.
The Voronezh Puppet Theater is internationally famous and often takes part in various festivals and competitions. Not only children's plays are staged on the theater stage, but also adult plays by classical and modern authors. The theater's talented acting troupe, combined with unique puppets, leaves a strong impression for a long time.
The performance can smoothly turn into a walk with a girl around Voronezh, during which you can discuss what you saw and become closer to each other.
Voronezh is considered one of the greenest cities in Russia. An incredible number of parks and squares decorate the city. Historically, the park is a traditional place for lovers.
Where to go out with a girl in Voronezh? City residents unanimously give priority among parks to Koltsovsky Square, which is located in the very center of the city. This is the oldest square in the city. There are many cozy benches, secluded paths and old spreading trees. And with the onset of darkness, a light and musical fountain show begins in the park. It is symbolic for lovers that the registry office is located next to Koltsovsky Square.
Another romantic option for walks is the park with Swan Lake. This park has experienced a rebirth after many years of desolation and abandonment. Since 2011 it began to revive. There are new well-groomed lawns, benches and lanterns. And of course, a pair of white swans, which returned to the park lake.

My hometown is VORONEZH. Where to take a walk and relax in the city center??
Hello, I'm Veronica! Born in Voronezh. I often hear people express dissatisfaction with the city in which they live. In this review I am not their supporter. I like Voronezh madly for the beauty of the day and night, for the atmosphere, for the people, for the buildings. Today I would like to tell you about places where you can take a walk, relax and have fun when you arrive in the center of Voronezh.
I'll start, perhaps, with the city center. Petrovsky Square.
A place that can save you from the summer heat. In the park there is a monument to Peter I, and it was in his honor that the place was named. Beautiful roses grow nearby. There are benches everywhere, so there is enough space for everyone. There is a fountain in the center of the square. The area is filled with trees, which creates shade. There are cannons at the entrance. Petrovsky Passage is located nearby. The prices there, to be honest, are steep. After crossing the underground passage, you can get into the huge Annunciation Cathedral.
If you continue your walk through the center, you will be accompanied by Revolution Avenue with old houses. There are no problems with a place to have a snack. There are restaurants and cafes at almost every step. Of these, I can recommend Barankin cooking. The prices for this delicacy are very reasonable. A hearty lunch per person costs approximately 300 rubles. You can also go to the Italian Courtyard restaurant. The price tag will be higher there.
The next stop will be Victory Square. This place cannot be missed. There is a monument on the square dedicated to those who died in the war. Next there is a long alley of flowers and a high stele. There is also a fountain nearby.
The ideal place to relax is Soviet Square with fountains. The kids run around in the fountains, you can lie down on the lawn and sit on special benches. The place is incredibly cozy and pleasant. And if you look straight ahead, it’s easy to notice the Voronezh Concert Hall.
I advise you to walk along the old streets of Voronezh. It is there that you can find a stone bridge, the Church of the Resurrection, and an incredible stucco molding in the shape of an owl.
Many people know the monument to Bim next to the puppet theater. Be sure to scratch him behind the ear for good luck)))
The huge Stone Flower fountain is located in Koltsovo Park. When there is a breeze, you can enjoy the light illuminating droplets)
But on weekend evenings, after 9, you can enjoy dancing and the light music of these fountains.
As for shopping centers, I would recommend you the Chizhov Gallery Center. Located in the very center. A sea of shops, places to eat, a cinema in one place nearby.
You can also go to City Park Grad. This will be much further, but no less interesting. It is there that you can visit the Voronezh Oceanarium.
Among the parks, I would recommend Dynamo and Scarlet Sails.
In the same city center there are independent cinemas: Yunost, Spartak, Proletary.
I hope my review was useful, and when you arrive in Voronezh, you will receive a lot of positive emotions.

Intellectual tourism: going to Voronezh for the weekend
Voronezh has long been called the intellectual center of central Russia and the capital of the Black Earth Region - the intelligentsia has always played a significant role in the life of the city, where today about 100 thousand students study and seven large state universities operate. However, the federal media noticed Voronezh only in 2011-2013. The city began to be called the new cultural capital of Russia - the annual Platonov Arts Festival appeared in the region, and the famous producer and theater director Eduard Boyakov, who brought modern theater to Perm several years earlier, came to instill in Voronezh residents a taste for contemporary art. Boyakov’s projects were curtailed in May 2015, but the impulse remained - a new audience was born in provincial Voronezh, for the sake of which new cultural spaces are still being opened, parks are being restored, more and more festivals are being organized and, in general, making the urban environment more and more comfortable. Below we will tell you where to go to get the most complete impression of Voronezh.
The easiest way to get to Voronezh is from Moscow - several branded trains, including double-deckers, run between the cities daily. Several airlines operate regular flights from Moscow to Voronezh. The cheapest ticket costs 2,500 rubles, and the flight lasts 1 hour 20 minutes. Also, residents of Lipetsk, Kursk, Orel, Belgorod, Tula and other cities in central Russia come to the capital of the Black Earth Region for the weekend.
The approximate travel budget for one person is from 3,500 rubles.*
- Round-trip train tickets from 1,600 rubles*;
- 1 night in a hostel - from 320 rubles* or in a 3* hotel - from 1,080 rubles*;
- The average bill in a cafe is 400 rubles;
- Walks around the city, travel on public transport, souvenirs - 800 rubles.
DNA Molecule Monument
You can start your walk around Voronezh right from the Voronezh-1 railway station. Guests of the city can walk along the wide Mira Street, lined with majestic buildings in the Stalinist Empire style. It will lead tourists to an unusual monument to Soviet science, cast in the shape of a DNA molecule or a Möbius strip. Next to the monument is the Orlyonok park. Previously, the park had many attractions; now it is undergoing reconstruction, but you can still relax on the benches in the shade of the chestnut trees. In front of the park there is a monument to the poet Osip Mandelstam, who lived in exile in Voronezh for three years.
Where: intersection of Mira, Friedrich Engels and Feoktistov streets.
Revolution Avenue
Revolution Avenue is the main street of the city. Perhaps the largest number of architectural monuments from different centuries are concentrated here. The Bristol Hotel building is one of the few surviving monuments of the Art Nouveau era in the city. The bright red-orange house, decorated with tiled mosaics, is a former hotel where Mayakovsky, Ostrovsky and Bunin stayed, built at the end of the 19th century. Yellow House No. 22 is the residence of the last Voronezh pre-revolutionary governor. By the way, the governor himself and the ball in his house are mentioned in Leo Tolstoy’s novel “War and Peace.” An attentive tourist will also notice a small blue building in the center of the street - there, at the beginning of the 20th century, the editorial office of the newspaper “Commune” was located, where young Andrei Platonov worked. And at the beginning of the avenue there is a monument to the great writer. Today the avenue attracts city residents with many cafes and restaurants for every taste. During the holidays, it is on Revolution Avenue that traffic is blocked so that the “Immortal Regiment” on May 9, a parade of street theaters on Russia Day, or a dozen open concerts on City Day can march along the main city artery.
Puppet show. Monument to White Bim
The Voronezh State Puppet Theater “Shut” named after Volkhovsky deserves special mention. Four Voronezh architects who worked on the theater building project were awarded the State Prize of the Russian Federation immediately after construction was completed in 1984. This is the only theater in Russia that has its own museum, where all the puppets of performances removed from the repertoire are stored. Today the theater has two stages, one of which is designed for 24 small spectators - performances of category 0+ are staged here. The building is unusual on the outside and beautiful on the inside. There is a walk-through cage running through two floors of the theater where songbirds live. In the courtyard of the theater there are sculptures of characters from popular Russian fairy tales. In the fountain in front of the entrance you can see Thumbelina on a water lily leaf. The “puppet” ensemble is completed by a huge clock with fairy-tale characters on the wall of a neighboring building. But the main character of all tourist photographs invariably becomes White Bim Black Ear. A metal monument to the legendary setter from the book of Gabriel Troepolsky appeared in the city in 1998. The writer himself, who lived all his life in Voronezh, advised sculptors. The beam is cast in life-size. There is no pedestal at the monument - the dog sits directly on the ground, patiently waiting for its owner. His name is engraved on a plaque on the collar. The “black” ear is made of bronze.
Where: Revolution Avenue, 50. Theater website: tyumenpuppets.ru
Kramskoy Museum
The main repository of academic art in Voronezh is the Kramskoy Museum. The museum's collections contain more than 20 thousand works: from antiquity to 20th-century art. The Egyptian collection of the Voronezh Museum is the third largest and most important in the country. Several years ago, the Egyptian hall of the museum was restored with funds from patrons. Now visitors can examine from all sides the unique sarcophagus of the royal scribe Nesipaherentahat, many ushabti figurines and other antiquities.
Where: Revolution Avenue, 18. Museum website: mkram.ru Opening hours:** Mon – Tue: closed. Wed, Sat, Sun: 10:00 – 18:00. Thu: 12:00 – 20:00. Fri: 11:00 – 18:00.
Chamber theater
Turning right from Revolution Avenue, you can get to the quiet, shady pedestrian street of Karl Marx. Since 2014, the Chamber Theater has been home here, the only private theater in the city, headed by the country’s famous theater director Mikhail Bychkov. Kamerny is a multiple winner of the national theater award “Golden Mask”, a participant in many festivals, recognized by critics as one of the ten best provincial theaters in the country. The theater building itself is constantly among the nominees and winners of various architectural and design awards. To get to the theater, you don’t have to buy a ticket to a performance: Kamerny has an art gallery that regularly hosts exhibitions, a theater club that hosts video screenings, and a cafe, so entry to the theater is open to everyone.
Where: st. Karla Marksa, 55a. Theater website: chambervrn.ru Opening hours: daily from 9:00 to 20:30.
A stone bridge
One of the most “postcard” places in Voronezh is the Stone Bridge, which appeared in the city in the 19th century. At the time of construction, it was the first brick bridge in Voronezh, but then this material was called stone, which is how the bridge got its name. The Stone Bridge is one of the few structures in Voronezh that has been preserved almost in its original form for 200 years. Today, the Stone Bridge is also called the lovers' bridge - it is the main wedding attraction of the city. It is across this bridge that grooms carry their brides in their arms. Every weekend, celebration groups gather here to smash champagne bottles on the bridge and release doves. Previously, newlyweds hung locks with names on the metal railings of the bridge, but after reconstruction the fences were made of brick, and this became impossible. The Stone Bridge is surrounded by the Resurrection Church, the building of the former Alexandrinsky Orphanage and several other buildings built in the late 19th - early 20th centuries, which makes this place ideal for romantic photos.
Where: intersection of Karl Marx and Chernyshevsky streets.
Museum ship "Goto Predestination"
Voronezh is rightly called the “cradle” of the Russian fleet - it was here that Peter I founded the country’s first shipyard and created a fleet that fought during the Russian-Turkish War. One of the first ships launched was the 58-gun battleship Goto Predestination or God's Foresight, created according to the design of Peter himself; the emperor personally supervised some of the work. In 2014, the Goto Predestination museum ship opened its doors in Voronezh - an exact copy of the first Peter the Great battleship. Today there is a naval museum on board; the interiors of the 17th-18th centuries have been recreated inside the ship. On holidays, the ship sets sail in the waters of the Voronezh reservoir. Filming of films and television series takes place periodically on the Voronezh battleship.
Where: Admiralteyskaya Square. Museum website: firstship.ru Opening hours:** Wed: 11:00 – 18:00. Thu – Sun: 10:00 – 18:00. Closed: Monday, Tuesday. Excursion start times: 10.00, 11.00, 12.00, 15.00, 16.00, 17.00. Cost of visiting: children's ticket 100 rubles, adult – 200.
Central Park
Despite its name, Central Park, formerly called Dynamo, is located away from the city center. However, after a large-scale reconstruction, the park can safely be called a center of attraction and a favorite vacation spot for citizens. The park has many children's playgrounds, catering outlets, and stables where you can ride horses. During the warm season, concerts and performances are held almost every evening at the Green Theater, the largest open-air auditorium in Voronezh.
Where: st. Lenina, 10.

Where to have lunch
Voronezh has many cafes and restaurants to suit every taste and budget. In recent years, Komissarzhevskaya Street has become the center of gastronomic tourism, which is now often compared to the famous St. Petersburg Dumskaya Street. Here you can find the Olen dumpling bar, the BKWSK and Vyshka bars, the Pushka summer courtyard, the Dja+GO restaurant, the Ptichka coffee shop, the Pita-tochka snack bar, and the Zhigulevsky restaurant-bar. For the best desserts in the city, feel free to head to the Sugar Bakeshop confectionery (Taranchenko, 29), for coffee - to the Perfetto Cafe chain, and to taste interesting cuisine - to JUST Bar&Kitchen (Pushkinskaya, 1).
Photo: Summer yard “Cannon”
The favorite places of fashionable Voronezh youth are the “Pushka” courtyard, the Petrovsky book club (20 Let VLKSM Street, 54a) and Petrovsky Square on Revolution Avenue, the art space “Dom” (Revolution Avenue, 46). At these points there are open-air film and cartoon screenings, meetings with writers and musicians, open lectures on the urban environment and art, exhibitions, as well as the best night parties in the city. If you have nothing to occupy your free evening in Voronezh, feel free to check the poster of one of these places to find yourself at the epicenter of the city’s creative movements.

Walking through the streets of Voronezh at night.
Now let's take a walk around the city of Voronezh on New Year's Eve.
Pub “Nails” which I already talked about in another post.
Upon arrival in the city, we called the hotel, which was located near the railway station. There they assured us that upon arriving at Lenin Square, we could walk to the hotel and at the same time explore the evening city.
They also assured us that this walk would take no more than 15 minutes.
As a result, we walked to the hotel for an hour (we carefully examined everything along the way), but we didn’t regret it one bit.
So, we are on Lenin Square.
Voronezh State Opera and Ballet Theatre.
There is a whole week until the new year 2022, but the festive mood can already be felt.
We are going the right way, comrades.
Where would Lenin Square be without, in fact, Vladimir Ilyich himself?
There is a skating rink on the square where there is no crowd.
Next to the doll museum is the monument “White Bim, Black Ear.”
Do you remember the book and film based on the work of Gabriel Troepolsky?
Not a single dog in the world considers ordinary devotion to be something unusual. But people have come up with the idea of extolling this feeling of a dog as a feat only because not all of them, and not very often, have such devotion to a friend and loyalty to duty that this is the root of life, the natural basis of the being itself, when the nobility of the soul is a self-evident state. ...This is how it is among us humans: there are modest people with a pure heart, “inconspicuous” and “small”, but with a huge soul. They decorate life, containing all the best that is in humanity - kindness, simplicity, trust. So a snowdrop seems like a drop of heaven on earth..."
Puppet theater "Jester".
“The first puppet show in Voronezh took place on October 8, 1925 in the hall of Voronezh University.
On November 5, 1930, the VSU Puppet Theater was placed under the jurisdiction of the regional department of public education and worked under the Young Theater.
This professional theater included artists from the VSU theater and plays from its repertoire. On the same day, the founder of the puppet theater N. M. Bezzubtsev (1885–1957), director of the VSU Museum of Fine Arts, employee of the Voronezh Provincial Museum, was arrested in the “case of local historians” and exiled for five years. The “local historians” were rehabilitated in July 1978.”

VORONEZH

What place
We cross the Vogresovsky Bridge from the left bank, and then go to the right at the “Ministry of Emergency Situations” sign.
What place
A clearing where you can watch takeoff and landing, listen to the roar of powerful engines, try to look at passengers behind the windows, and also dream about future travels.

Leisure
If a girl welcomes a healthy lifestyle and sports, you can make her an unusual alternative invitation to a date: invite her to actively spend time together.
You can go paragliding at the Gran-Aero club or go underwater at the PADI diving club, ride horses or skydive.
If you don’t want to start extreme sports right away, you can just go together to the Polyana rope park. Here you can complete thirteen tasks at a height of three to eight meters. This is an excellent place to show courage, dexterity and mutual assistance; it will only strengthen any relationship. The great thing is that in this park you can get a lot of thrills without risking your life and with health benefits. A cheerful mood and shared memories are also guaranteed.
Thus, the decision where to go with a girl in Voronezh will depend only on the desires of the lovers. At the same time, today you can rock the dance floor, and tomorrow go to the ballet. Or go to the park for a picnic after a horse ride together. Leave the city for the whole weekend or stay home and watch your favorite movies. The main thing is to have a great mood and self-confidence.

Dating strategy and tactics
How a date goes depends on many factors. The first date with the girl you like will be different from a regular date with a regular friend. The date can be ordinary, or it can be for an occasion. In order to please a girl, you need to know her character and tastes, dreams and outlook on life well. It’s best if the preferences of a guy and a girl coincide - they will have fun and interest in the same places.
