Samara is an industrial town located along the Volga River in Russia. Samara’s embankment, a riverside promenade is the best way to soak in the beauty of the Volga river. You can relax in the gardens nearby or go cycling along the promenade. Visit Stalin’s bunker 121 feet below the ground built to house over 100 people. Learn about Russia’s space achievements at the Samara space museum. A soviet space hub, the museum has information on Russia’s rocket history and several models. Try Vobla, a salted dried fish at the Troitsky Market. Vobla pairs great with beer. Fill a bottle straight from the keg at the Zhiguli Brewery and enjoy. For an authentic soviet era lunch head to the old apartment for scrumptious food that will take you back in time.
