Prechistenskaya Embankment

This is a long and picturesque pedestrian area. On the riverbank, you can fish, feed ducks and seagulls, or simply relax on the benches. Along the embankment stand stone houses from the 18th–19th centuries. In one of them — the former residence of the governor-general. Once, during a trip, Emperor Alexander I stayed here. The best views of Prechistenskaya Embankment open from the opposite bank of the river — from the 6th Army Embankment, where all the historic buildings can be clearly seen.
