As soon as night falls on the island, the coast begins to glow with a bright turquoise light. The picture is incredible, and the reason for the miracle lies in the small phytoplankton.
When you are in love, your legs (and maybe wings?) carry you somewhere along the streets and squares, forests, embankments, bridges, with a fair wind meeting the sun, and every little thing pleases the eye. And if the feelings are reciprocated, then rain, blizzard, monotony of panel houses - dullness and ugliness - go unnoticed. On the contrary, a change in the weather, for example, can be endowed with a special romantic property. On the other hand, every young man wounded by Cupid's arrow tries to invite the object of sighing on a date to the most beautiful, pleasant place. It is still unknown whether the love will be mutual - and, rightly so, let the atmosphere itself help to tune in to a sensual mood. The girls try to find interesting walking routes later, when the places in the neighborhood have been explored and fresh notes need to be added to the relationship that is getting stronger day by day. This is how public gardens and monuments are endowed with "magic" powers in cities and villages: somewhere in love from their own experience, somewhere sculptors are trying together with park directorates, and some legends are rooted in past centuries, the fate of writers and their literary heroes , ancient legends. This time, with the online guide Localway.ru, we will tell you about the most famous places of pilgrimage for romantics in Russia.
Moscow
Moscow State University, Vorobyovy Gory Nature Reserve

Even if you have not been a student for a long time, you can always feel young, carefree and in love while walking around the MSU campus. The majestic main building built in 1953, which houses classrooms, a dormitory, and even a museum, reminds you of how small a person is compared to the world of science, of an upcoming session or of the free days left before school, in which you want to walk endlessly. The complex of buildings of Moscow University is not only an architectural and visual feast for the soul, but also a wonderful place for outdoor activities. Cyclists, roller skaters are everywhere, volleyball, tennis and football are played on sports fields, well, a tour of the local Botanical Garden is good for the lungs and doubly interesting. At the fountain opposite the main building, they often have a first date, and then they come to take pictures - already during wedding celebrations. It is pleasant to wander here in any season: blooming lilacs or falling red maple, midday heat fading in the shade of trees, or clean crisp snow under your feet will become companies.
After passing through the territory of Moscow State University, you will get to the famous observation deck of the Sparrow Hills. Here Herzen and Ogarev took their famous oath (there is even an obelisk dedicated to that event), here the Bulgakov Master said goodbye to Moscow before disappearing with Margarita "to where countless suns melted glass across the river, where fog and smoke hung over these suns , the steam of a city red-hot during the day. It is always noisy and crowded here, so the walk will become more romantic if you start it from the ecological paths of the Vorobyovy Gory nature reserve, continue on a quiet embankment and return to its center to meet the dawn over Moscow.
Bridge at the Cathedral of Christ the Savior

Although the first project of the temple was laid just on the Sparrow Hills, today everyone knows very well where the main Orthodox cathedral in Moscow is located. In 2004, a pedestrian bridge was “thrown” from it, connecting Prechistenskaya and Bersenevskaya embankments. Although not covered with secrets and legends of the past, but only stylized as traditional architecture of the 19th century, lovers quickly noticed it as a “special” place. Still, because it offers a gorgeous view of the Kremlin and its environs, especially in the evenings.
Immediately after the opening, the Patriarchal Bridge became the first metropolitan "prisoner" of the newlyweds, who adapted themselves to hang locks on the fence. Now the palm for “reinforcing feelings” is near the Luzhkov Bridge (it is a ten-minute walk away, on the Vodootvodny Canal), but in terms of popularity, the Patriarchal Bridge, leading to a fashionable party and cultural place - the former Red October complex - is still not inferior to it.
Monument to all lovers

In Moscow, there is a special place for romantic people, which is called just that - a monument to "To All in Love". It has its own interesting, albeit "recent" history. For many years in a row, the well-known radio station "Silver Rain" celebrated St. Valentine's Day with listeners in the oldest pleasure garden in the capital - the New Hermitage. "Legend" says that on February 14, 2005, a girl approached the presenters and showed a photo. There was a heart on it: many years ago in Verona, someone painted it on the wall of Juliet's house. This symbol of love became a sketch for a pedestal that the Silver Rain staff made to order. Four metal pipes are bent in the form of a heart. Inside are bells that chime merrily in the wind. Today, few Muscovites in love have not yet made a wish at the monument to "To All the Lovers". After completing the ritual, you need to go through the "heart" hand in hand with your loved one. But many, following a long tradition, tie a ribbon as a keepsake. Only 10 years have passed since the foundation of the symbol, and it is already believed that if you kiss for the first time under these bells, then feelings will not fade away all your life.
Patriarch's Ponds

Patriarch's Ponds, or rather, the only pond that has survived to this day, has become "Patrika" for young Muscovites. If in the late nineties and early 2000s this square was considered a gathering place for informal people, at best with guitars, today couples in love or already married ones with children flirt around the well-maintained reservoir. What attracts romantics in this area? A quiet and nice place in the very center of Moscow, where in summer you can take a walk in the shade of trees, and in winter you can find yourself on a “spontaneous” skating rink. It is very nice to sit on a bench or go to one of the nearby cafes, for example, the vegetarian Fresh or the newfangled Nude Coffee & Wine Bar, the reputable restaurants Ulliam’s or Saxon + Parole.
The Square of the Patriarch's Ponds is widely known in literature, as well as according to the memoirs of artists. The workshops of Surikov and Polenov, the architects Shekhtel and Zholtovsky rented here, Blok spent the winter and Leo Tolstoy's daughter skated. Marina Tsvetaeva was born in Tryokhprudny Lane, and of course, it was here “at the hour of an unprecedentedly hot sunset” that the characters appeared on the first page of Bulgakov’s The Master and Margarita. Along the route of the characters (not left, of course, without artistic fiction), one can reach, among other things, the “bad apartment” in house No. 10 on Bolshaya Sadovaya, where the author of the novel once lived.
St. Petersburg
Palace Square and embankment

The city on the Neva, as an open-air attraction, in itself attracts couples in love at any time of the year. What place in St. Petersburg is considered the most romantic? Everyone decides for himself. For those who came for a short time, one of the most popular places is the grandiose ensemble of Palace Square. Here you can, standing in one place and holding hands, just slowly look around and never cease to be amazed at the circular panorama of beauty, harmony and grandeur. Architectural forms and colors, historical facts - who will speak to whom on such an intellectual date?
Any route from the heart of the northern capital will be perfect - Millionnaya or Bolshaya Morskaya, to the north or south, to a museum or for a boat trip along the canals and water area of the Neva. With your beloved, you can walk along the Palace Embankment, see part of the famous arrow of Vasilyevsky Island and the outlines of the Peter and Paul Fortress on Zayachiy. The drawing of bridges - a necessity for the city and entertainment for tourists - can have a special meaning for lovers: a temporary discord must necessarily end in reunion. In any case, this daily St. Petersburg ritual will enchant you and your man with its beauty.
kissing bridge

On this bridge, contrary to popular belief, initially no one kissed. The crossing over the Moika got its name from the name of the merchant Potseluev, who, in his honor, opened a tavern on the river bank with an attractive sign "Kiss". So it turned out a special, as if self-explanatory name for the place, which was immediately chosen by romantically inclined persons. Soon they began to talk about the bridge, they say, here wives and girls in love shed tears and waved a handkerchief to sailors who were serving on a long voyage. It was here that the convicts parted with their betrothed: there was a prison nearby, where they were to go. Today, another legend is connected with Potseluev's "brainchild": the longer you kiss right on the bridge, the longer the feelings of lovers will not cool down. So it's better to come there in the warm season, and after the course of "training".
Roofs of Petersburg

One of the most important romantic places in the city on the Neva was the roofs of residential and non-residential buildings in the historical center. Once upon a time, lovers, literally risking their health and life, climbed to the tops of buildings on their own: some sought to prove their feelings, others - to surprise a girl with an unusual place for a date. Today there are special services of official tour agencies and volunteer rufers. You can choose a walk at a height along one of the proposed routes. Basically, they are, of course, illegal (entrances are equipped with intercoms, which you need to be able to “deceive”, residents swear and complain at the roar of dozens of feet) - but that makes them even more interesting for desperate dreamers. The main thing is to be careful, observe safety precautions and not make noise. They say that there are enthusiastic residents of some apartments in the tallest buildings in the city, who, of their own free will, are allowed onto closed roofs. There is something to think about if you want to surprise someone.
Most of the houses in St. Petersburg are interconnected, so long walks along the upper tier of the city are not uncommon. Viewing from the roof courtyards-wells closed on all sides, narrow streets and wide avenues is a real pleasure.
Yekaterinburg
Sculpture "Lovers"
www.flickr.com/ [email protected]
In 2006, on the 285th birthday of Yekaterinburg, an interesting sculptural composition created by Sofia Prokhorenko was solemnly opened on Weiner Street. Residents of the city admit that "Lovers" cause a feeling of tenderness every time you pass by them. They are also loved by tourists. The legend says that when creating the sculptor turned to the image of a real-life couple. It is believed that the prototypes of the bronze boys and girls were architecture students from the art academy - Anna and Alexander.
The sculpture "Lovers" in its own way updated the center of the city, and also became an invariable meeting place for lovers of the townspeople. She begins many dates, and then relationships. For a seemingly insignificant period of time, the composition became incredibly popular. People take pictures with "Lovers", one might say - and at random: "To have everything like them."
Kazan
Lovers arch
Marat Gaptrakhmanov
In Kazan, which attracts more and more tourists with its centuries-old history, there is a popular monument of romantics - the "Arch of Lovers". It is known that it was installed in the 1930s, but the name of the author from the archives, unfortunately, remained unknown. An elegant white arch greets guests at the entrance to the territory of the Black Lake, and every city dweller knows that it was created specifically for love confessions. Thanks to the laws of physics, an acoustic effect is created under the elliptical arch: if two people stand on opposite sides at the bases and whisper something into the inner niches of the vaults, they will hear each other's words. Be sure to repeat this trick yourself and prove love theorems over and over again. In addition, there is a belief: lovers who stand hand in hand under the arch for at least a while will be very happy together.
Tyumen
bridge of lovers
The two banks of the Tura River in Tyumen are connected not just by an engineering and technical structure, but, imagine - the Bridge of Lovers! Once there was its small wooden predecessor, which, unable to stand the test of time, collapsed into the water in 1982. Only five years later, according to the project of architects Nadezhda Purgina and Vladimir Strigulin, a sprawling cable-stayed bridge was erected, which received its name relatively recently. On February 14, 2003, employees of the local radio station held the Longest Kiss contest on the pedestrian bridge, and since then, couples began to make dates on it and leave inscriptions, newlyweds - to hang locks and throw away keys in Tura, "so that they never part." At night, this romantic crossing is especially beautiful due to the complex and spectacular lighting. In front of the entrance to the Bridge of Lovers, it is hard not to notice the original clock. They are said to remind us that there is always time to love.
Krasnodar
kissing bridge
TASS / Georgy Shpikalov
In 2003, a new pedestrian bridge was opened in the 30th Anniversary of Victory Park, which connected the main walking area with a less popular part of the park and offered Krasnodar residents excellent views of the city. The newlyweds found a new place to secure their marriages and immediately began to leave locks on this openwork bridge. As in any city, they are periodically cut down by public utilities, but the bridge (we will assume) leaves all this in its symbolic memory.
Monument to loving dogs
Even animals can be in love. And although biologists are likely to argue with this statement, there are many such facts described in the literature. And in Krasnodar there is even a special monument (if someone still does not believe it) - the monument "Sobachkin's Capital". Dogs, in human clothes, however, but according to the latest fashion of the last century, appeared at the building with the old clock at the intersection of Krasnaya and Mira streets for a reason. According to the idea of the author of the project, Valery Pchelin, the dogs in love made an appointment under the clock, as young people and girls have been doing in the city for many years. From there they go to the promenade, a friend with an umbrella and a friend with a hat in his hand. The name of the sculptural composition is explained by a commemorative plaque with a quote from Mayakovsky, who once said about Krasnodar: “This is not a dog’s wilderness, but a dog’s capital!” But now, thanks to eared and furry lovers, this place of dates has become a cult. While waiting for your soul mate, you can rub the paws of the dogs and make your most secret wish.
Murom
Holy Trinity Monastery
www.flickr.com/alexxx-malev
Moore was not accidentally included in our review: he may not attract the attention of those whose feelings have flared up recently or are too fleeting, but he will impress a couple with serious intentions. This ancient city is home to the Holy Trinity Monastery - the tomb of the relics of Saints Peter and Fevronia, whose history has become a symbol of Christian marriage. The love story of saints is known to everyone since childhood. Prince Peter, wounded by a poisoned sword, was healed of ulcers with herbs by the peasant daughter Fevronia. Peter married the savior, but they had to go through trials and wander for a long time because of their different social status and then strict boyar morals. However, Fevronia was able to earn trust and the couple ruled Murom for a long time. In old age, they took the vows as monks.
On June 25, 1228, Peter and Fevronia died on the same day and hour. The legend says that their bodies were placed, as expected, separately, but in the morning it turned out that they were in the same coffin. Miracle, nothing else. Murom Saints are revered as an example of love, fidelity and devotion, which they carried through their whole lives, despite all the hardships. In the Holy Trinity Monastery, people ask for help in marriage and the birth of children. Here they get married with special feelings and pray for the strengthening of family ties. Isn't this place truly romantic for those who believe in true love?
Chelyabinsk
love sphere

By the day of the city in 2000, Chelyabinsk acquired the "Sphere of Love", built according to the project of the sculptor Viktor Mitroshin. Since then, Vorovsky Street has been a favorite place for residents and couples to relax: wedding processions under the blue glass dome are not translated. As conceived by the authors, the "Sphere of Love" 12 meters high is a symbol of the unity of male and female principles, love, marriage. It rests on four metal supports in the form of trees, and under the dome two tall figures strive towards each other: boys and girls. The stone on the right represents the masculine principle, on the left - the feminine. Paths from them lead to the dome, from where the newlyweds come out already husband and wife.
The sphere already has its own traditions. The bride and groom must climb two stairs from different sides, and the guests shower them with rose petals, rice and confetti. Connecting under the dome, the newlyweds present their first dance to the guests and kiss.
