Strelka (Volga–Oka Confluence)
Стрелка
The headland where the Oka River meets the Volga, with a restored park beside the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral and the World Cup stadium.
Strelka is the tapered point where the Oka flows into the Volga. From the Kremlin and the Chkalov Staircase, you can see the differently colored waters of the two rivers meet. Before the 2018 World Cup, it was redeveloped into a waterfront park with bike paths, lawns and viewing platforms. It sits next to the Nizhny Novgorod Stadium and the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral. From downtown, you can walk across the Kanavinsky Bridge or take the metro to the stadium station.
