Equally popular is the House of Officers, which has long become a favorite tourist destination.

Bridge. Saratov is famous for its bridges - they are simply magnificent! The only thing that attracts the eye of all passers-by is the bridge that connects the banks of the Volga River, which is called - the Saratov Bridge. It is known all over the world, because it used to be the longest bridge in the whole of Europe - it was one of those from the very beginning of its existence - since 1965.

The Conservatory. Such an institution in Saratov is only one, and it bears the name of L.V. Sobinov. This conservatory is known throughout Russia, since to this day it is recognized as the oldest musical educational institution, let not all of the world, but the country is accurate. The Saratov Conservatory was opened immediately after the Moscow and St. Petersburg Conservatory. Therefore, such attraction can attract not only lovers of classical music, but also antiquities.

Monuments. Monuments of Saratov - this is another series of landmarks of the city, which simply can not remain unnoticed. In Saratov there is a monument to the hero of the song "There are so many gold lights in the streets of Saratov" - he, perhaps, remains the most important attraction since its erection. There is also a monument to the Saratov accordion, which is located opposite the Pioner cinema. There is also a monument to the Student, or as it is also called, "The Night Before the Exam". In addition to monumental monuments, the true sights of Saratov are mansions and houses. That only there is E.Borel's mansion on the Volga street.
