Where to stay in Leninsky City District
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
Leninsky City District is a working residential borough, not a hotel quarter. Beds inside it are thin, so most visitors to Novosibirsk base themselves nearer the central streets and cross into the district for its sights. The Новосибирский планетарий and the quiet grounds of the Никольская церковь reward a daytime visit rather than an overnight one.

About Leninsky City District
What are the main landmarks in Leninsky City District?
Three sights anchor the borough. The Новосибирский планетарий draws school groups and stargazers from across Novosibirsk, while the Никольская церковь carries the old Кривощёково name that predates the modern city on this ground. A sombre note sounds at the Памятник малолетним узникам фашизма, raised to the child prisoners of fascism.
Small in number, these landmarks each mark a distinct layer of the district's past.
What is the history of Leninsky City District?
The Никольская церковь preserves the memory of Кривощёково, a settlement that stood here before Novosibirsk itself took shape. Leninsky City District grew as one of the industrial and residential boroughs on this side of the young city, its blocks filling out through the twentieth century. Memory runs deep.
The Памятник малолетним узникам фашизма fixes one of the hardest chapters of that century into the district's public space.
