Rising comedian Matt Rife has slated an ambitious 115-date world tour encompassing two years and three continents, it was announced on Monday (June 5).

Trending on billboard.

“We haven’t seen anything like this in 20 to 30 years,” says Levin, who was introduced to Rife by his manager, Christina Shams with Avesta Entertainment before signing with CAA in December.

“Every show that we’ve put up so far, we’ve sold out in presale in under 15 minutes,” Levin adds, noting that Rife’s videos on TikTok have more than 1 billion views combined. “It’s been a crazy ride and it couldn’t have happened to a better person.”

While the ProbleMATTic World Tour is spread out over a two-year period, the first 101 shows are packed into an 11-month run, starting with a July 20 date in Bend, Ore. and ending June 6, 2024, at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville — a North American sprint that also encompasses four Australia dates in January. That comes out to an average of a Rife comedy show every three days for nearly a year.

Following a three-month break, Rife will embark on the European leg of the tour starting with a Sept. 3 show at SEC Armadillo in Glasgow, U.K. followed by shows in Amsterdam, London, Paris and more before concluding the tour on Friday, Oct. 20 at Santeria Toscana 31 in Milan, Italy.

Tickets from €35 including booking fees

Today, wildly popular comedian and actor Matt Rife announced his ProbleMATTic World Tour which is set to hit cities across North America, Australia, and Europe throughout 2023 and 2024. The tour includes a show in Dublin’s 3Olympia Theatre on Saturday 28th September 2024.

“I couldn’t be more thrilled to live out this lifelong dream! To tour the world, spreading laughter, with some of my best friends, is something I never thought would be possible. I’m so grateful to get this opportunity, and it’s even more fulfilling knowing that it’s all because of the incredible people who enjoy my comedy,” said Matt Rife. “I’ve been working so hard towards this for 12 years and now I’ve surrounded myself with a team who works just as hard and share the same passion! I still can’t believe it.”

Matt Rife has exploded as one of the fastest growing comedians through his viral content and remarkable engagement on TikTok, where he has amassed over 13 million followers, and more than 2 billion views globally. As one of the most buzzed about comedians in the business, Rife has been selling-out comedy clubs and theaters across the country and is

gearing up to embark on his biggest tour to-date with Live Nation, the Matt Rife: ProbleMATTic World Tour, kicking off on July 20th.

Rife brings forth his refreshingly genuine presence along with elevated material that is quick witted and vulnerable. From a small town near Columbus Ohio, Matt started performing at the age of fifteen then moved out to Los Angeles two years later where he began his career in Hollywood.

In addition to stand-up, he made his television debut on MTV’s Wild 'N Out as the youngest cast member in history for four seasons before moving on to other MTV properties, such as hosting the reboot of TRL and appearing on The Challenge. Other credits include Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Fresh Off The Boat, BET’s North Of The 10, and NBC’s comedy competition show Bring The Funny.

In 2021, Rife self-produced and distributed through YouTube his first one-hour comedy special, "Only Fans". This past April, the comedian bet on himself again and self-released his highly anticipated second stand-up special, "Matthew Steven Rife" on YouTube. The special was taped in Austin, TX and is dedicated to his biggest role model, his grandfather Steven who had recently passed. He’ll be taping his third stand-up special this fall in Washington, DC.

Matt Rife Tour: Spotlight on Stand-up Sensation

A journey through laughter: the matt rife tour 2023.

The quick-witted Matt Rife, known for his rapport with audiences, has embarked on a fresh journey of laughter. The popular TikTok personality, who is as natural on the microphone as a moth to the flame, has set off on his monumental ProbleMATTic tour. Setting the global comedy scene ablaze, Rife’s world tour spans 2023 and 2024, with over 100 shows in North America, Europe, and Australia.

Early Beginning: Matt Rife – More than Just a Stand-up

Originating from a small town, Rife found his calling in comedy at an early age. Born with a comedic bent, the young lad started performing when he was just 15. Jumping on the bandwagon of the comedy scene, he began opening for acts like Dane Cook and Ralphie May. These experiences served as the stepping stones in Rife’s journey of turning his life’s anecdotes into hilarity that crowds appreciate.

His early career is an intriguing chapter in Rife’s life, marked by tirelessness, resilience and, of course, plenty of laughs. Just as a fledgling bird takes its first awkward flaps before soaring high, Rife honed his comedic craft. The result? A firm footing in the world of stand-up and a journey to fame that’s as memorable as his punchlines.

Rife in the Limelight: The Emergence of a Stand-Up Sensation

The turning point in Rife’s story rings true to the idiom “great things come to those who wait.” The youngster’s breakthrough came when, after countless open mics and hard earned gigs, he was thrust into the limelight of stand-up comedy. Balancing witticisms with a fair share of risk taking , Rife’s comedic style quickly gained traction.

Like fool’s gold glittering under the sunlight, Rife’s unique blend of raw edge and likability caught the attention of audiences and industry peers alike. His comedic style could be likened to a fiery salsa — spicy yet delightful. The way he infuses his performances with personal narratives, turning them into laughter riots, has become his trademark in comedy circles.

Milestones and Achievements: Matt Rife’s Tour De Force

Rife’s journey thus far, much like a meticulously directed biopic, is rife with compelling milestones and achievements. From performing at local comedy clubs to selling out arenas worldwide, Rife’s star has continued to rise. With each tour, the Cree Summer of his early days seems to stretch out as he continues to captivate audiences with his comedic magic.

Analyzing Rife’s tour data serves as a testament to his skyrocketing popularity. From the sold-out shows to the rave reviews, Rife’s success is comparable to the flawless execution of a complex synapsis in stand-up comedy. The numbers don’t lie. The average price of $342 for a Matt Rife ticket, with some enthusiastic fans even willing to part with $80 for lower-end seats, portrays a picture worth a thousand laughs.

The Matt Rife Tour 2023: Behind The Curtains and Onstage

Behind the jests and chuckles, there’s a bustling crew working their socks off for the successful execution of the Matt Rife tour. Cooking up the right blend of humor, the pre-tour preparation involves everything from selecting relevant material to rehearsing and tweaking it to perfection. The backstage world is as entertaining, chaotic and thrilling as a freshly dropped punchline.

The tour itself, akin to a multi-season sitcom, keeps audiences on the edge of their seats. Each show is a fresh concoction of jokes and anecdotes that Rife expertly spins into a comedic web. The audiences, both young and old, soak it up like sponges, their laughter echoing in the venue long after the curtains have fallen.

Show by Show: A Detailed Examination of Key Performances in the Matt Rife Tour

Each performance in the Matt Rife Tour comes with its own flavor. Weaving stories through jokes, Rife takes the audience on a rollercoaster ride of laughter. Based on firsthand experiences and interviews with audience members, each show is a testament to Rife’s comedic genius.

Junction City, for instance, witnessed Rife in his element, dishing out sidesplitting sets that left the audience gasping for air amidst bouts of laughter. Meanwhile, the Berkeley show traced Rife’s evolution in comedy, with fans lining up hours before to get the AT&T customer service number for the best cable deals to record Rife’s show.

Echoes of Laughter: The Impact and Relevance of the Matt Rife Tour

The ripples of the Matt Rife Tour extend beyond the stands filled with chuckling fans. The local stand-up scene has been revitalized, with Rife’s tour serving as a beacon of inspiration for emerging comedians. Rife’s foray into international comedy circles has also elevated his status, presenting him as a force to reckon with.

It’s undeniable that Rife’s tour has made waves in the stand-up industry. Comparisons between Rife and the likes of Maddox Jolie-pitt are becoming more frequent. Both have carved their own niche, despite riding on early yet brief waves of fame.

Spotlight on Stand-Up: Matt Rife Leading the Way

Rife has been instrumental in shaping the contemporary stand-up scene. His handiwork can be spotted in the growing movement of young comedians who resonate with his brand of humor. Rife’s journey serves to inspire fledgling comedians keen on making their mark in this exploding industry.

Encore: Reflecting on the Matt Rife Tour 2023

As the curtains fall and the laughter subsides, reflections on the Matt Rife Tour are characterized by commendations and expressions of adoration from fans and critics alike. Standing testimonials to Rife’s humorous charm, the glowing reviews mirror the star’s undeniable talent.

Predictions for Rife’s career are as diverse as his comedic repertoire. Most agree, however, that the young comedian’s star is destined only to rise. With the echoes of his performances still fresh, it’s clear that Rife’s reign over the comedy world is far from over.

Onwards with Laughter: A Look Ahead After the Matt Rife Tour

Having painted broad strokes over the comedy landscape, Rife is unlikely to hang up his mic anytime soon. With his talent and drive, future tours will surely continue to ring true to Rife’s meteoric rise to the top. As Rife’s most recent forays into comedy portray, his signature blend of humor has the potential to influence several future comedy trends.

Matt Rife just announced a world tour. Here’s how to get tickets now

Comedian Matt Rife is no stranger to controversy.

The 27-year-old, who’s known for crossing the line with his edgy material and no-holds-barred crowd work, will bring his singular brand of line-crossing comedy to venues all over the globe as part of his recently-announced ‘ProbleMATTic World Tour.’

Along the way, the “Bring The Funny” alum will stop into Syracuse, NY’s Funny Bone from June 30 through July 2, Waterloo, NY’s The Vine at Del Lago Resort and Casino on Aug. 1-3, Atlantic City, NJ’s Ovation Hall at Ocean Resort and Casino from Aug. 18-20 and Albany, NY’s Funny Bone from Dec. 18-20.

In 2024, the “Wild N’ Out” cast member will headline at Schenectady, NY’s Proctors Theatre on Jan. 31, New York City’s Radio City Music Hall on Feb. 2 and Syracuse, NY’s Landmark Theatre on March 30.

Rife can’t wait to hit the road either.

“I couldn’t be more thrilled to live out this life long dream,” he shared in a statement. “To tour the world, spreading laughter, with some of my best friends, is something I never thought would be possible.”

And if you need tickets to see the TikTok icon deliver the LOLs live ASAP, we’re here to help make that happen.

Although inventory isn’t available on Ticketmaster until Friday, June 9, fans who want to ensure they have tickets ahead of time can purchase on sites like Vivid Seats before tickets are officially on sale.

Vivid Seats is a secondary market ticketing platform, and prices may be higher or lower than face value, depending on demand.

They have a 100% buyer guarantee that states your transaction will be safe and secure and will be delivered before the event.

At the time of publication, Rife has 144 gigs in the U.S. and Canada lined up from now up until June 2024.

He’s really leaving no stone unturned this year and next —  Rife is likely coming to a venue near you in the near future.

So, if you want to see if the funnyman is headed to your town, you can find his complete 2023-24 calendar including all tour dates, venues, show start times and links to buy tickets here .

Rife, who counts Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis as fans — as evidenced by his goofy, 2.5-minute tour announcement video — has quite a few irons in the fire.

Here are all of Rife’s TV and movie roles on the horizon courtesy of IMDb .

“Don’t Suck” stars Rife as an up-and-coming young comic with an unexpected past who hits the road with a veteran comedian who’s using the tour as a last chance at stardom. Stand up veterans Jamie Kennedy, Russell Peters, Carrot Top, Jimmy ‘JJ’ Walker and Jimmy Shubert round out the cast.

“The Private Eye” tells the story of Mort Madison (Rife), a private eye whose life is spiraling downward, when a beguiling, slightly familiar woman hires him for his most unusual case. Familiar faces in the cast include Eric Roberts and Erik Griffin.

“Trapped Inn” is a sci-fi thriller about an American cycling team trapped in a historic lodge during training camp high in remote European mountains. After team members mysteriously perish, two rival teammates clash as they fight for survival and try to find out what’s killing everyone on the team.

“Candy Flip” has no story to speak of at the moment; the film’s IMDb says the “plot (is being) kept under wrap.” Cole Carter, Danielle Loving and Jessica Belkin star.

“Karma’s a B—-“ follows Charley Stevens (Isabella Blake-Thomas) as she moves to her her recently deceased mother’s hometown. Upon arrival, she is plagued with strange nightmares that tease a horrific event, hinting at why her mother left town. Rife and Blake-Thomas are joined by Tony Todd in the ensemble.

Many household name acts are taking their punchlines to venues near and far this year.

Below, you’ll find just five of our favorite iconic performers you won’t want to miss live these next few months.

How much are Matt Rife tickets? His 2024 tour, explained

Matt Rife might have ended 2023 at the top of TikTok’s No Fly list after his widely criticized Netflix special , but that hasn’t slowed the comedian’s career. He is kicking 2024 off with a worldwide comedy tour and interested parties had better act fast – these tickets are selling like hotcakes.

Rife’s Problemattic tour has already kicked off in the Midwest and is sold out for the first few months, but there is still a chance tickets are available in your city. The tour runs from early February to late October, starting in Wisconsin, USA and ending in Milan, Italy.

From there, costs go up depending on where you want to sit and what city you’re in, and boy, can they get expensive. These range anywhere from $120 to a whopping $1500 depending on the venue, and most don’t come with the V.I.P. package.

The Best Things to Do in Nizhny Novgorod

Nizhny Novgorod, founded in 1221, is one of the oldest cities in Russia, so is home to an array of historic attractions. If you’re headed to the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia and happen to find yourself in Nizhny Novgorod, it would be an absolute shame to miss out on seeing the city. Here are the best things to see and do.

Go back in time on bolshaya pokrovskaya.

If you’re a fan of the Golden Age of Russian literature, Bolshaya Pokrovskaya is the place for you to go. As one of the city’s central streets, long lines of well-preserved 19th-century buildings stretch along both sides. It’s not only the architecture that will transport you back in time: sculptures of past inhabitants of the town, each with a story to tell, will make you feel as if you were a character in a Dostoevsky novel.

Bolshaya Pokorovskaya, Nizhny Novgorod, Russia

The Chkalov Staircase, consisting of almost 600 stairs, leads from the Kremlin to the riverbank. On a sunny day, after a long walk around the Kremlin, head down to the Volga river, stroll along it and have lunch sitting on one of the benches placed near the boardwalk.

See the river from above

A cable car runs above the river from Nizhny Novgorod to Bor, a town on the other side of the Volga river. It is often used by locals as a means of public transport and the views from it are breathtaking. Spend an afternoon going to Bor and back; a trip that is most certainly worth your time.

Spend an afternoon in space

In a district just outside the city centre you’ll find a very special monument dedicated to Gromozeka, a well-loved character from a sci-fi Soviet cartoon. Gromozeka, whose metal sculpture can now be found on the playground in Nizhny Novgorod, was a friendly alien archaeologist from a far-away planet called Chumaroz. A few benches around the monument are hidden in what look like USSR space helmets. A must-see for all the space geeks out there.

The Top 12 Things to Do in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia

Take a first-rate trip to Russia's fifth city

Ershov_Maks/Getty Images

Although it's Russia's fifth-largest city, you could be forgiven for never having heard of Nizhny Novgorod. Notwithstanding that another Russian city is simply called " Novgorod ," the current name of the city just doesn't have a memorable ring to it. (By contrast, its name during the Soviet years — Gorky, like the famous author — was much more iconic.) At any rate, this city of just over a million around six hours east of Moscow is more than worth a visit. These are just 12 reasons why!

Tour the Kremlin's 13 Towers

Like most every other city in Russia, Nizhny Novgorod is home to a Kremlin. (The word "kremlin" means "citadel" in Russian, and has nothing to do with the modern Russian government) One thing that elevated the Kremlin of Nizhny Novgorod above others in Russia (with the possible exception of the Moscow Kremlin and one or two others), however, is the fact that its wall has 13 towers. During the summer months, at least one free walking tour per day operates from the main entrance of Nizhny Novgorod's Kremlin.

Climb Russia's Longest Staircase

Named for one of the most famous Russian pilots of the early aviation age (Valery Chkalov), the Chkalov Stairs connect two of Nizhny Novgorod's public squares, which sit on the upper and lower embankments of the Volga River, respectively. Built in 1943 (during the period when Nizhny Novgorod was known as Gorky), the Chkalov Stairs currently have the distinction of being the longest staircase in Russia.

Go Wild at Limpopo Zoo

One thing that surprises many travelers to Nizhny Novgorod is how amazing its zoo, colloquially known as Limpopo is. In addition to being home to a tropical botanical garden (which, not surprisingly, is indoors), the zoo hosts a variety of reptiles, mammals and birds. There's also a small sculpture park on the grounds of Nizhny Novgorod's zoo, including both original and replica pieces.

Shop (or Just Stroll) Along a Storied High Street

Bolshaya Pokrovskaya Street has been the de-facto "Main Street" of Nizhny Novgorod for more than 200 years. Well, minus the Soviet Union period, during which the cafes that once (and now) lined it became somewhat worthless, since intellectual conversations were basically forbidden. These days, you can come here for a cup of Russian tea then shop at the dozens of boutiques you'll find on either side of the street.

Sun Yourself at the Spit

Nizhny Novgorod sits at the confluence of the Oka and Volga Rivers, with the triangle of land at the point they meet being known as the Nizhny Novgorod Spit. Ignoring the unfortunate double-meaning of its name for a moment, this is actually a wonderful place to get a tan, if it's summer in the city and the sun happens to be shining. Even if not, photographers will enjoy a trip here for a view of the Kremlin and city center across the Volga.

Marvel at the Open-Air Museum of Rozhdestvenskaya Street

Like Bolshaya Pokrovskaya Street, Rozhdestvenskaya Street has long been one of the most important streets in Nizhny Novgorod. However, while the former has become a primarily commercial artery in recent decades, the charm of the latter is in its well-maintained buildings, which hearken back to the mid-18th century. In fact, some locals go so far as to consider Rozhdestvenskaya Street an "open-air museum."

Ride Russia's Newest Cable Car

Russian investment in infrastructure isn't quite as dramatic as that of, say, China, but the Federation has nonetheless built a selection of interesting and modern transportation systems since the fall of the USSR. Among them is the just-opened cable car, which travels from the center of Nizhny Novgorod over the Volga River to suburban Bor. At any rate, a ride over the river and back is definitely worth inclusion on your list of things to do in Nizhny Novgorod.

Taste Traditional Shchi Soup

Shchi is one of Nizhy Novgorod's most delicious local specialties, available in most every local restaurant that serves Russian food. From above, a bowl of shchi seems incredibly complicated, with a colorful palette that suggests the inclusion of dozens of diverse ingredients. In fact, the magic of shchi is in its simplicity. Building on the traditional pan-Russian recipe of cabbage, pork fat and salt (yes, just three ingredients), locals in Nizhny Novgorod sometimes add minced meat or egg whites as bonus items, then top the tangy soup with a dollop of sour cream.

Survey Amazing Russian Orthodox Architecture

Think the only amazing Russian Orthodox churches are in Moscow and St. Petersburg? Think again. Nizhny Novgorod boasts several amazing examples of Russian Orthodox architecture. From the brilliant golde domes John the Baptist Cathedral near the Volga River, to the expansive grounds of 14th-century Pechersky Ascension Monastery, Nizhny Novgorod is an architecture buff's dream!

Take a Look Back in Time

Nizhny Novgorod's historical center is relatively large and well-preserved, but a stroll (or 10) through it isn't the only way to get a feel for the city's centuries-long past. Head to the Russian Museum of Photography, which not only showcases a variety of images of Nizhny Novgorod that date back a century or even longer, but also spotlights the equipment Russian photographers have used throughout the years, and notable figures in Russia's photography history as well.

Visit the Convent from the Movie "Salt"

You'd be forgiven if you've entirely forgotten the 2010 film "Salt." However, if you remember any destination from this spy thriller, it's likely the facade of Makaryev Convent, which is located within day-trip distance of Nizhny Novgorod. Having served as a monastery from its consecration in the early 15th century up until the beginning of the Russian Revolution, Makaryev became a convent after the fall of the Soviet Union , and is now home to 22 nuns.

Take an Excursion to a 12th-Century Tea Town

Another worthwhile day trip from Nizhny Novgorod is to the town of Gorodets, which sits about an hour to its northwest. With a history dating back to the 12th century, Gorodets boasts an interesting array of architecture and museums, including one dedicated to samovars.

Districts [ edit ]

The city is divided by the River Oka into two major parts: the Upper city ( Verkhnyaya or Nagornaya chast ) on the hilly right side and the Lower city ( Nizhnyaya or Zarechnaya chast — what literally means "the part over the river") on the left bank of the river. The Upper city is the old historical part of Nizhny Novgorod, whereas the Lower city is larger, newer and consists of more industrial districts.

Understand [ edit ]

History [ edit ]

The city was founded by Grand Duke George II of Russia in 1221 at the confluence of two most important rivers of his principality, the Volga and the Oka. Its name literally means Newtown the Lower , to distinguish it from the older Novgorod . A major stronghold for border protection, Nizhny Novgorod fortress took advantage of a natural moat formed by the two rivers.

Along with Moscow and Tver, Nizhny Novgorod was among several newly founded towns that escaped Mongol devastation on account of its insignificance and grew up into important centers of Russian political life during the period of Tatar yoke. For a short period of time it was the capital of the Suzdal Principality and competed with Moscow for the power in the region. However the competition with Moscow was lost and in 1392 the city was incorporated into Muscovy. Nizhny Novgorod Kremlin was built in 1508-1511 (under supervision of the Italian fortress engineers) and became one of the strongest Russian citadels. There is a legend saying that the project was initially developed with participation of Leonardo da Vinci. However there is no documented proof of Leonardo's work for that project, the only thing the legend is based on is the striking resemblance of Leonardo's sketches and the actual Kremlin schemes. The fortress was strong enough to withstand Tatar sieges in 1520 and 1536.

In 1612, the so-called national militia , gathered by a local merchant Kuzma Minin and commanded by Knyaz Dmitry Pozharsky expelled the Polish troops from Moscow, thus putting an end to the Time of Troubles and establishing the rule of the Romanov dynasty.

In 1817, the Makaryev Monastery Fair, one of the liveliest in the world the 16th-18th centuries, was transferred to Nizhny Novgorod, which thereupon started to attract numerous visitors and by the mid-19th century it turned Nizhny Novgorod into trade capital of the Russian Empire.

Under the Soviet period, the trade connections of the city were abandoned and Nizhny Novgorod became an important industrial centre instead. During the communist time the city was closed to foreigners to safeguard the security of Soviet military research. The physicist and the Nobel laureate Andrei Sakharov was exiled there during 1980-1986 to limit his contacts with foreigners.

Climate [ edit ]

The climate in the region is humid continental and it is similar to the climate in Moscow , although colder in winter, which lasts from late November until late March with a permanent snow cover.

By car [ edit ]

Nizhny Novgorod is situated on the M7/E30 road. The road is in decent condition, although with traffic it can take anywhere from 4 to 8 hours to drive to/from Moscow .

By boat [ edit ]

Turflot [dead link] , Infoflot , and many other companies operate multi-day river cruises down the Volga from early May to the end of September.

Many companies operate passenger boat service between Moscow and Astrakhan , with stops at most cities along the Volga River.

Get around [ edit ]

By foot [ edit ].

The city centre is compact and walkable. However, there are many inclines or steps from the river banks. The bridges are not pedestrian friendly since the sidewalk is very narrow and cars drive extremely fast close to the pedestrians.

By city rail [ edit ]

The City Rail connects areas where there are no metro lines. Connects with the subway at the Moscow railway station. It has 2 lines: Sormovskaya and Priokskaya. The fare by train costs 28 rubles. According to the Citicard Transport Card, the fare is 26 rubles. Also by train you can get to the nearest suburb, or transfer to suburban trains to Dzerzhinsk, Bor, Semenov or Arzamas.

By bus and trolleybus [ edit ]

As of May 2017 in each district of the city there are several city bus routes. The number of trolleybus routes is much less. In one district of the city there are 1-2 trolleybus routes. Trolleybus routes are completely absent in the Leninsky city district. It is worth noting that trolleybuses do not connect the Lower City to the Upper. This is because the trolleybuses do not have enough power to climb the mountain.

The trolleybus network is divided into 3 parts:

• The upper trolleybus network (it unites all three districts - Nizhegorodsky, Sovetsky and Prioksky) with a turning circle on the Minin Square, near the Kremlin.
• The lower trolleybus network (connects Kanavinsky, Moskovsky and Sormovsky districts)
• The Avtozavod trolleybus network (connects all the distant sleeping microdistricts among themselves)

By tram [ edit ]

Throughout the city, land trams run. The longest route of all is 417. It connects the outskirts of Avtozavodsky district with the Moskovsky Rail Terminal. The journey takes about 1 hour and 20 minutes. The route passes through the sleeping areas (approximately 75% of the way). Also in remote neighborhoods there are routes of several more trams, but in most cases, they are in the Upper City. By the way, you can reach there by tram 27 or 10 directly from the Moscow railway station.

By marshrutka [ edit ]

Marshrutkas do not stop at every stop. To indicate your intention to exit a marshrutka, press a button and to indicate your intention to enter a marshrutka en-route, you need to wave your hand.

By bicycle [ edit ]

Nizhny Novgorod has not very developed bicycle infrastructure. Special bike paths exist only on the Upper-Volga and Lower-Volga embankments and on Rozhdestvenskaya Street.

The upper city is very hilly and full of steep inclines and even many locals will get off their bicycles and push their bikes up the hill by foot. Drivers can be reckless and pose a danger to cyclists. The roads can also be icy during the winter. City cyclists solve this problem by replacing summer tires with winter tires.

Also, in 2017 the implementation of a new integrated transport scheme of the city began. It provides for a large number of bicycle paths in the Upper City (including on Bolshaya Pokrovskaya Street) and in the Lower City.

See [ edit ]

Monuments [ edit ]

• Monument to Valery Chkalov, the famous test pilot of the 1930s, known for his ultra long flight from Moscow to Washington State via the North Pole.
• Maxim Gorky, at the square named after him
• Alexander Pushkin (at the entrance to the Theatre of Opera and Ballet)
• 56.327974 44.001982 26 Prince George and Saint Simon of Suzdal , The Kremlin, St. Michael the Archangel Cathedral . Monument to the founders of the city of Prince Yuri II of Vladimir (also George Vsevolodovich) and Simeon of Suzdal ( updated Jun 2017 )

Religious [ edit ]

• Pechersky Ascencion Monastery , near Sennaya Square a couple miles east of downtown, halfway down the slope to Volga. With a cathedral and several churches surrounded by a restored stone wall, the monastery is the seat of the archbishops of Nizhny Novgorod.
• A big variety of other churches and convents.

Buy [ edit ]

Sleep [ edit ]

All hotels and hostels offer free Wi-Fi and many have computer terminals. Almost all accept credit cards. Hotels and hostels will usually provide a visa invitation and registration for an additional fee.

Connect [ edit ]

Phone [ edit ].

For information on purchasing a SIM card in Russia, see Russia#Connect .

Note that Nizhny Novgorod is in the Volga region zone, and SIM cards purchased elsewhere, such as in Moscow or Saint Petersburg , may be subject to roaming charges.

There are payphones in the streets; however, you can only buy phone-cards in the post offices and in a few newspaper kiosks.

Internet [ edit ]

Free WiFi is available in most hotels, shopping malls, university buildings, restaurants and cafes, the airport as well as several metro stations. There is also free public WiFi on B. Pokrovskaya street.
