Krasnodar

Nicknamed the "Little Paris" of Russia (due to its elegance and streets lined with cafes and shops), Krasnodar is a city in southern Russia. This is most exemplified in Red Street, which is also filled with beautiful trees, flowers, and monuments. Notable sculptures include the Walking Dogs Sculpture and the Monument to Catherine the Great. There are also some beautiful parks, including Solnechnyy Ostrov (Sunny Island) and Chistyakovskiy Grove Park.
