  The city of writers and poets. There are many monuments and buildings in Orel that are connected with history in one way or another. In Orel, it is pleasant to walk right in the center along the pedestrian Lenin Street. Or, as the locals call it, Leninskaya. The street connects two theaters — from Lenin Square, where the theater named after the native Turgenev is located, to the bridge over the Orlik River — behind it stands the theater "Free Space", a monument to Leskov and his literary heroes. The most lively place, oddly enough, is a children's park with a view of the confluence of the Oka and Orlik rivers. For entertainment, the Grinn shopping and entertainment center was built on the southern outskirts of the city — with shops, food courts, a cinema, a concert hall, and even a congress hall.

  I live in the city of Orel. The city is small, but it has interesting places. Victory Boulevard, parks and squares, fountains, the embankment. Of course, there is also Grinn as a place of attraction. Here in the photo an eagle near the station is shown. This is an outdated photo; now there is another eagle on Station Square, noble and small. But the previous one was a landmark because of its huge size. I noticed how tourists, leaving the station building, took pictures next to it. Eagles can also be seen on the Alexander Bridge. The main pedestrian Lenin Street begins there. Central Lenin Street is full of atmospheric bars and cafes with outdoor terraces, and it leads to Lenin Square, to the administration building, the theater, the hotel, and further on — the children's and central parks.
