Kirov Square
Beste tijd om te bezoeken
Late December to early January to see the ice festival and snow sculptures. If you want a more relaxed atmosphere, visit in the late afternoon of summer days when the sun sets at 9 pm.
Budgettips
There is no entrance fee because this is an open public space. Bring your own snacks and sit on the free park benches while people pass by, more budget-friendly than the cafes around it.

Korte feiten: Lapangan seluas 5 hektar ini menjadi pusat perayaan kota setiap tahunnya, menarik lebih dari 50.000 warga saat malam Tahun Baru. Posisinya yang strategis menghubungkan Jalan Karl Marx dengan Jalan Lenin, menjadikannya titik nol kilometer kota Irkutsk.
Hoogtepunten: Di tengah malam musim dingin dengan suhu minus 30 derajat, air mancur di sini berubah menjadi patung es raksasa yang diterangi lampu warna-warni selama festival salju tahunan. Selama musim panas, area ini berubah menjadi panggung terbuka untuk konser gratis yang membludak hingga 10.000 penonton yang duduk lesehan di atas rumput.
Insidertips
- Come during lunchtime to see newlyweds taking photos with the fountain as a backdrop, an authentic local sight.
- Wear non-slip shoes if you come in winter because the granite stones here are very slippery when covered in snow.
- Look for a park bench facing the Lenin statue for the best photos during the golden evening light.
- Ignore the souvenir shops on the edge of the square whose prices keep rising, better to shop at the central market which is only a 10-minute walk away.
