Stroll along Lenin Street

Here, you can walk along beautiful merchant houses, fountains, and monuments, stop by souvenir shops, enjoy a cup of traditional Buryat tea with milk and salt, or visit the Ulan-Ude History Museum. The composition "The Staff of the God Mercury and the Horn of Plenty," which is also depicted on the city's coat of arms, greets visitors from Sovetskaya Street. Along the main street of the city, you’ll find buildings from the late 19th century, a fountain, a monument to writer Anton Chekhov, and a sculpture titled "Two Birds." Street musicians often perform here, and outdoor art exhibitions are held.
