Mikhailovskaya Embankment

The Emperor’s Study building was located in the area near the Embankment. In 1907, the decree on the transfer of the tsar’s land to the emerging city of Novonikolayevsk (today’s Novosibirsk) was signed here. The Embankment was named after Konstantin Mikhailovsky, who was in charge of the construction of the West Siberian Railway.
In Soviet times, Mikhailovskaya Embankment was a hot spot for sports enthusiasts. In summer people came to local outdoor swimming pools, and in winter — to ski. After the war, it was a training ground for the local hockey team. After it was renovated in the 2000s, it became a venue for the main city festivals.
In summer you can enjoy numerous amusement rides or buy tickets at the Rechnoy Vokzal office to go on a boat ride along the Ob River. A trip to Korablik Island and the Six Bridges historical tour are among the most popular routes.
