(Translated by Google) quite a long granite embankment, which we visited after rafting on the Shuya. A magnificent view of Lake Onega, the metal monument to the Fishermen was memorable. From here we left for the train station, returning to Moscow. Even after 18 years - vivid memories. (Original) довольно длинная гранитная набережная, которую мы посетили после сплава по Шуе. Великолепный вид на Онежское озеро, запомнился металлический памятник Рыбакам. Отсюда уезжали на вокзал, возвращаясь в Москву. Даже спустя 18 лет - яркие воспоминания.

(Translated by Google) A spacious embankment with many different art objects donated to the city of Petrozavodsk by its sister cities. It’s good to walk here, take photos, and watch the sunset. It can be very windy, especially in winter. (Original) Просторная набережная с множеством различных арт-объектов, подаренных городу Петрозаводску городами-побратимами. Здесь хорошо прогуливаться, фотографироваться, встречать закат. Бывает очень ветрено, особенно зимой.

Very informative displays, with bilingual descriptions. I was smitten with the culture of Karelia when I arrived in Petrozavodsk, but this museum helped me learn more about the rich and long-standing culture.

This open air museum is really great and well organized. You arrive here by ship and then you stay there for 4 hours before return. The 1st 2 hours you have a guide, also in english, the other 2 hours you are free to do whatever you want. There is also a restaurant there and souvenir shops. The main church is still closed for reconstruction.

Well! What a strange yet wonderful place. I arrived via the back entrance after following google maps - I wandered through some mariners back yards then found the museum amongst the wooden buildings and boats. There I was greeted by a cheerful man who welcomed me into a group of Russian visitors. Despite my lack of Russian, he asked where I was from and proceeded to tell me of the places he must've sailed to in England, Bristol and Poole among others. I was then taken to a video room where I was met by another joyful character who did his best to translate his speech to English and sometimes used the other guests as assistants if he didn't know the words in English. After a tough year of living and travelling around Russia as I couldn't go home (people thought I was a covid threat) here, however, I was treat as an esteemed guest. I was overjoyed at the effort they all made to include me in the different exhibitions and to impart the knowledge of the sea voyages this group of sailors had experienced. I had a lovely time. I encourage any visitor to Petrazavodsk to go find out about the adventures of this devoted group of people.
