This is the main sight in Novosibirsk. Just take a metro to Lenina square or walk about 15 minutes from the railway station along Vokzalnaya Magistral street and you won't miss it. It is a monument to Soviet time that impresses with huge statues of workers, soldiers, and Lenin himself. Besides, it's a popular place for going out among Novosibirsk people, so Lenina square is a good place to meet people, too.
