This category brings together articles about specific places in Nizhny Novgorod and the Nizhny Novgorod region: districts, historical localities, squares, embankments, parks, monasteries, settlements, rivers, and other geographic features. For the city, places tied to its centuries-long history and natural relief are of particular importance — the high bank at the confluence of the Oka and the Volga, ravines, hills, historic quarters (slobodas), and market squares.
Among the most thoroughly described sites are the The Kremlin, Minin Square, Lake Svetloyar, and the Dyatlovy Hills. The category covers both citywide landmarks and small historical localities whose names trace back to the craft and trade life of past centuries.
