A haven for the city’s well-heeled residents, Belgravia is brimming with luxury shops, cafes and age old residences that feel like a London of days gone by. 

Boutique shops, fine dining establishments and trendy art galleries come together to make this one of the most exclusive areas of London.

Belgravia. I’m never sure whether I love it or if all that prettiness and elegance leaves me a little cold.

If there’s one thing you can’t deny – this is one of London’s most attractive neighbourhoods. 

The elegant streets of Belgravia are lined with terraced townhouses, some of which are over a century old, manicured garden squares and international embassies.

You could easily spend a day walking around the immaculate residential streets and high-end shopping lanes. 

Don’t forget your camera either, because it also has some of the most attractive shop fronts and mouth-watering bakeries that have products that are more like works of art than pastries.

History of Belgravia

Peek into the past.

Belgravia started from more modest beginnings in the 17 th century as a desolate pasture known as the Five Fields. It was notoriously dangerous as a place where thieves and highway men dominated, and the common people avoided. 

The Grosvenor family inherited the huge swathe of land thanks to a marriage between Sir Thomas Grosvenor and Mary Davies. However, it wasn’t until King George IV decided to make Buckingham House his permanent palace that the Grosvenor’s turned their attention to developing Belgravia in the early 1800s. 

A housing boom after the Napoleonic Wars helped, and a vision for the area as a high-class neighbourhood took shape.

The family commissioned architect and builder Thomas Cubitt to build exclusive townhouses on the land and to this day, his designs are considered the most fashionable and highly sought-after properties in London. 

Embassies and diplomatic offices began to congregate in the area, as did foreign businessmen and politicians and its continued this status as an upscale area to live in ever since. Since the mid-1800s it’s been home to poets, scientists, actors, entrepreneurs, socialites and business magnates.

Things to do in Belgravia

Delving into Belgravia’s unmissable spots.

Cadogan Hall

5 Sloane Terrace, Belgravia

Cadogan Hall is a concert venue with a 950-seat capacity.

It’s a beautiful and intimate setting to attend a live music performance and they have regular shows from the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, the first London orchestra to have a permanent home, to ballet, rock and jazz. It’s just two minutes walk from Sloane Square tube station.

The Royal Court Theatre

Sloane Square, Belgravia

The Royal Court Theatre is a non-commercial venue that is dedicated to showcasing new work by undiscovered or established writers from the UK and abroad. It’s been described as one of the most important theatres in Europe for supporting some of the best wordsmiths going around. 

Belgrave Square Garden

This slice of green surrounded by gorgeous townhouses is the heart of Belgravia. The two hectares of gardens were designed by George Basevi and Thomas Cubitt in 1826 and it contains statues of famous individuals, pergolas and a tennis court. 

The only (significant) down-side is that it’s not a public garden and you have to have a key, . Still, you can satisfy yourself by taking a peek as you stroll on by. 

Ministry of Nomads Gallery

10 Little Chester St, Belgravia

This boutique gem of an art gallery was established over 10 years ago and hand picks some of the newest and most exciting work from artists around the world.

It describes itself as a ‘new sustainable art system’ by encouraging innovative art through new mediums in its artists award program.

However, stepping in the gallery for a browse is sure to spark some inspiration with its variety of paintings, sculptures, sketches and more.

Eating & Drinking in Belgravia

My favourite places to eat and drink in Belgravia.

Peggy Porschen 

116 Ebury Street, Belgravia

Get your camera ready, because this café and bakery was made for Instagram. The exterior is completely painted in baby pink with flowers reaching across the entrance. 

Once inside, you’ll find fluffy cupcakes and extravagant cakes. I have to be honest – the quality of the cakes can be hit and miss (the words dry and overpriced have been bandied about) but it’s up to you. 

Their café is also open for breakfast and lunch. 

Dominque Ansel Bakery

17-21 Elizabeth Street, Belgravia 

No guide to Belgravia can get away without mentioning this bakery. This world-renowned New York City bakery opened in London in 2016 and attracts crowds of people dying to try the famous cronut , a half croissant and half donut. 

They also have sandwiches, cookies and frozen s’mores, but it’s really the cronut people come for. It’s a bit on the pricey side, but it is Belgravia after all.

The Thomas Cubitt

44 Elizabeth Street, Belgravia

Named after one of London’s most famous architects, this gastropub has become one of Belgravia’s favourite dining destinations. It strikes a perfect balance between modern and traditional with oak floors and an elegant dining room with outdoor seating for those warmer sunny days.

Rococo Chocolate

5 Motcomb St, Belgravia

This chocolatier and café have offered some of the finest custom-crafted treats since the early 1980s. For any sweet tooth, this is your dream place. Step in for their chocolate making workshops or take a seat in their secret garden courtyard for one of the best hot chocolates you’ve likely ever had. 

The Blue Bar

The Berkeley, Wilton Pl, Belgravia

Certainly, one of the more exclusive and well-known bars in Belgravia, you’ll often find celebrity faces at The Blue Bar with its elaborate cocktail menu. It’s extremely striking in its blue and art deco interior, although like the rest of the neighbourhood, it’s undoubtedly pricey. 

The Gloucester Pub

187 Sloane St, Belgravia

For something more down-to-earth, you can’t beat this pub licensed in 1835. It’s the only pub on fashionable Sloane Street and is a traditional and typical London pub offering good cask ales and beers from around the world. You can also get everyday pub meals from fish and chips to pork belly.

The Star Tavern

What makes a great pub? Well it’s obviously got to have some great beers, and probably some great food. It should also have a good bit of history. The Star Tavern has all three, and the history by the bucketload. 

This is the spot where one of history’s greatest heists was plotted – The Great Train Robbery to be precise. That’s where an 18-man gang made off with what would amount to about £40 million in today’s money and fled to Mexico to escape the law. 

The Star Tavern today is a much more friendly place though. No master criminals here, just a good bunch of locals enjoying the cask ales for which the pub has won several awards. 

View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Thomas Cubitt, Belgravia (@thethomascubitt)

Belgravia is posh, and when there it’s wise to follow the way of the locals. In doing so your quest for a good lunch will likely end you up at The Thomas Cubitt , an eccentric Belgravia watering hole with a touch of exclusivity about it. 

They do an excellent menu of food in the extra-swanky upstairs dining room and the more traditional downstairs pub, and great beers to boot – but don’t have too many, this is quite a respectable institution. 

The place gets its name from the man who designed most of Belgravia – not a bad way to be immortalised. 

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Olivo Restaurants & Shops (@olivorestaurants)

If posh pubs and traditional English food aren’t your thing, how about some top-notch Italian? Olivio does some excellent Italian. 

The food is just the sort of unfussy, rustic fare you’d want when eating dishes from the boot-shaped nation. Sardinia is the region they draw their inspiration from, so expect some excellent seafood dishes. 

You can pretty much take a random stab at the menu here and not be disappointed with what they bring out for you. Whatever you pick, it’s best enjoyed with something from their wine collection.

Top Shopping Spots

Harvey Nichols

109-125 Knightsbridge, Belgravia

A true London shopping institution, Harvey Nichols has been trading for well over a century and Belgravia is home to its flagship store. 

This huge department store is over eight floors of fashion, beauty and home collections. If all that shopping has you exhausted, then there’s also a place to stop and have a stylish meal, because why wouldn’t there be? 

The Fifth Floor Bar and Café has an incredible roof terrace along with tasty snacks and drinks.

Motcomb Street

This skinny, paved street seems sort of like a hidden treasure when you first find it, but it’s also known as one of the best places in Belgravia to find elegant boutique stores and restaurants. 

The picturesque shop fronts are home to luxury fashion retailers like Christian Louboutin and art studios like Osborne Gallery. 

You’ll also find some of the best food stores and dining options here too like Rococo Chocolate and The Fine Cheese Co. 

Elizabeth Street

If you want to find Belgravia’s most sophisticated and visually stunning shops, then head to Elizabeth Street. 

Here you’ll find some of London’s finest boutiques and artisan producers and there’s certainly no doubt of its exclusive vibe. From the specialist perfume shop, Les Senteurs, to ultra-fashionable jewellery at Vickisarge, there’s plenty to splash your cash on.

Even if you’re just window shopping though, this street is totally instagrammable. 

With shops like Jo Loves perfume store completely adorned with pink and red roses and of course, the famous Peggy Porschen bakery on the corner, in its baby pink exterior, you’ll want to stop and take a photo with every step.

Pimlico Road Farmers’ Market

Orange Square, Pimlico Road, Belgravia

This weekly farmers’ market on a Saturday morning takes over the pleasant Orange Square from 9am until 2pm. 

There are around 25 vendors every week selling everything from organic fruit and vegetables to fresh juices to smoked fish to homemade bread. 

Remarkably, everything is grown, cooked or fished within a 100 mile radius.

Christmas Markets

Pimlico Road & Elizabeth Street

Belgravia is home to two of the best Christmas markets in London. 

In December, Pimlico Road and Elizabeth Street are packed full of street food and market stalls as well as festivities like carols and Father Christmas visits. 

The shop fronts also live up to their stunning picturesque designs and decorate their shops and windows with Christmas themed displays and lights.

9 places in Kabardino-Balkaria every adventurer needs to visit (PHOTOS)

An amazing journey through the mountains of Kabardino-Balkaria.

Together with local tour guide Artyem Babaritsky, we show you why this is one of the most underrated regions of Russia. According to Artem, the nature on the territory of Kabardino Balkaria is more “rigid” and “serious” than in the neighboring republics of the Caucasus. This is comparable to a human face: one moment it is kind and smiling (while we are in the Karachay-Cherkessia) and then suddenly this kind face starts to frown and becomes more severe.

The most famous attraction of the republic – and the Caucasus in general – is Mount Elbrus, the highest peak of the European continent. With a mighty height of 5,642 meters above sea level, Elbrus is actually a dormant volcano. Its permanent icecap feeds 22 glaciers, which, in turn, give rise to the Baksan, Kuban and Malka rivers.

Naturally, if you’re into mountain climbing, this is a peak that you will want to conquer at least once in your lifetime. Here are some detailed accounts of what it entails.

And this is what you’ll see along the way.

Not into mountain climbing? Not to worry! In summer, you can still reach an altitude of 3,658 meters from the bottom of the Azau Valley, thanks to a small network of cable cars and ski lifts. This will give you a bird’s eye view of the entire Main Caucasus Ridge – an extremely impressive sight to behold. And, of course, you’ll be right at the foot of the Elbrus glacier.

In winter, skiers and snowboarders can shred some sweet gnar on 23 kilometers of slopes serviced by 6 ski lifts. The winter sports area is situated between the elevations of 2,350 and 3,840 meters. There are plenty of accommodation options for a comfortable stay and a good selection of cafes and restaurants to refuel your energy supplies.

2. Dzhily-su

Translated from the local language, “Dzhily-su” means “warm waters”. The Tract is located on the slopes of the heart of the Caucasus at an altitude of about 2,400 meters above sea level, where you can enjoy the breathtaking view of Mount Elbrus on a clear day. On the territory of Dzhily-su, there are many unique mineral springs that aid in healing from various diseases and strengthening the body.

“It’s an amazing sensation when you lie in a warm mineral bath and dozens of small bubbles rise around you. Also, Dzhily-su is the land of waterfalls that bear beautiful male names like Sultan, Emir and Shah. Thanks to the unusual energy, esoterics are particularly fond of this place, because there are natural sand castles, amazing stone mushrooms and the energetic mountains Sirkh and Tuzluk,” Artyem says.

The road to Dzhily-su is considered one of the most beautiful in all of Russia: It’s a serpentine-like asphalt mountain road that follows along a huge cliff, over which you will see many eagles circling. If you decide to do the trip on your own, Artyem warns that you must get hold of an off road vehicle, because many of the roads that you will need to take are dusty gravel roads. 

3. Chegem Canyon, Gorge, Waterfalls and Paragliding 

This is one of the main tourist attractions of Kabardino-Balkaria and it’s not hard to see why.

“The views that stretch along the Chegem gorge are simply amazing. The Chegem gorge is quite big. You will begin your encounter with this area with the beautiful Chegem waterfalls that cascade down the rocky slope. Right at the foot of the rocks, there is a small market where local women sell various hand woven wool products. There is a ‘ladder of happiness’ consisting of two 222 steps, leading to the source of the waterfalls at the top of the cliff. Climbing it is not at all difficult, the views are amazing and there is a cozy cafe at the top, as well as at the bottom, where you can enjoy dishes of national cuisine,” Artyem says.

In winter, the Chegem waterfalls freeze and have a certain wild beauty to them. Some locals say that, perhaps, they are even more beautiful than in the summer. Ice pillars and columns of frozen jets and streams of water, like giant twisted candles, or stalactites, hang down all the way to the river.

There is no more asphalt road beyond the waterfalls, but you can still continue along the gorge on gravel, along the turbulent Chegem River. The road is very dusty, so Artyem advises visitors to drive along it in a car with closed windows and the air conditioning on. After about 30 kilometers, you will arrive at a paragliding station.

According to Artyem, the Chegem paragliding station is famous for its powerful, ascending wind currents. Thanks to them, paragliders can soar in the sky from morning to evening. On the territory of the station, there is also a zip line and a few other adrenaline-filled activities for those looking for some thrills. 

4. El-TyuByu

If time permits, you can continue moving along the Chegem gorge and arrive at the village of El-TuByu, a place with enormous history. This mysterious ancient Balkarian village is the focal point of the history of the entire Balkaria. Ancient watchtowers, remains of Greek temples and anomalous phenomena attract both adventure seekers and connoisseurs of beauty. The main highrise, the Balkarukov Tower, is also dubbed the ‘Tower of Love’. Legend has it that Akhtugan Balkarukov built it to defend against the relatives of the beautiful Kerime, stolen by him from Dagestan.

Not far from the village, two ancient defensive Greek stairs go up a rocky wall. They rise to a height of about 30 meters and lead to a small area surrounded by walls up to two meters high and about half a meter thick. A bit above the Greek stairs are the ancient Balkar mausoleums, where local nobility were buried in the VIII-XVIII centuries. Artyem advises to go with a tour guide, because there is just so much incredible history in this village. 

5. Valley of the Narzans

The Valley of the Narzans is a balneoclimatic resort area. It is located in the foothills of the northern slope of the Skalisty Ridge of the Greater Caucasus, in the Khasaut River valley, at an altitude of 1,300 meters above sea level (near the border with Karachay-Cherkessia).

What is Narzan water? It takes six years for the water from the melting snow in the mountains to become Narzan water. It needs this time to find its way through the fissures and cracks in the underground rocks, become enriched by more than 20 minerals and salts, congregate in the underground lakes and then appear on the surface as a spring. In the local language, its name sounds like “Nart-san-e”, which means “a drink of brave warriors”.

Visitors can come with empty bottles and fill them with different kinds of mineral water. The territory of the valley also has cafes with local delicacies and plenty of souvenir stands, where the local women sell traditional knitwear, mountain honey and other arts and crafts and delicacies from the region. 

6. Shadkhurei Karst Lakes

The two lakes - Lower and Upper Shadkhuei - are still little researched. Underwater currents, turmoils and a large network of underwater canals prevent scientists from doing deeper research. The estimated depth of each lake is more than 200 meters, though there is no data yet on the actual depth.

“This is a great place to spend some time, especially during the summer months. The water temperature is kept at the same level all year round – about +15 degrees Celsius. The two lakes are located close to each other and fascinate visitors with their magical colors, luring them into their emerald water,” Artyem says.

In Artyem’s experience, only with rare exceptions, no visitor can resist the urge to plunge into the water. Even without bathing accessories, both ladies and gents make it their priority to jump into the turquoise waters. Around the lakes there are a few gazebos so you can easily stay for the whole day, have a picnic and swim in the lakes to your heart’s content.

7. Chateau Erken

A little piece of Europe in the middle of the Caucasus Mountains, Chateau Erken is a majestic pseudo castle in the Romanesque style (it was actually built in the 1990s) surrounded by about 1,000 hectares of vineyards.

“If you want to have a relaxing day, try experiencing the fairy tale that is Chateau Erken. It stands right on the water and is absolutely stunning. There is also the option to do some wine tasting inside,” Artyem says. 

8. Upper Balkaria, Blue Lake and Aushiger Thermal Springs

These three places make for an easy day trip, because of their proximity to one another. Start your journey at the Blue Lake . The deep blue waters of this stunning lake, hidden in Russia’s Caucasus mountains, are shrouded in mystery. It’s uninhabited by fish and avoided by locals, but, in recent years, it’s become a popular site for tourists.

After soaking in the lake’s beauty, continue onwards to Upper Balkaria, which is just several kilometers away along the Cherek gorge. This is a small ancient village that almost seems like it’s hiding from the outside world. Architectural monuments, defensive towers, graves and ground crypts have been preserved there. Upper Balkaria serves as an excellent example of Balkarian life and culture. You’ll learn a lot about the ancient auls (Caucasian mountain or desert settlements) and Balkarian settlements from different historical periods. 

On the left bank of the Cherek River, in the village of Aushiger, there are a few healing hot springs. The territory of the health resort includes a healing lake, an open reservoir and indoor baths.

9. Adyr-su Gorge

“This place can be reached by car, mostly by asphalt road. Then, the car drives into a special lift, together with people and climbs up along the cliff. What a sight this is! There is a border control here, so it’s a good idea to have some ID on you,” Artyem cautions.

After driving along a relatively easy dirt road, you will get to a mountain climbing base. From there, you can take part in some light trekking, 4 kilometers there and back. Adventurers also have the opportunity to make a wish in the Valley of Desires, see waterfalls, go to the glacier and the huge, magical mountain Ulu Tau, which means “Mother Mountain”. Finish up the hike at the Silver Spring.

“Here, you can always encounter wild mustangs, they always come to graze on the beautiful meadows of lush grass and drink the healing water from the spring. The spring is the source of incredible strength - locals say that whoever plunges into it three times will be healed of many diseases,” Artyem boasts.

Kabardino-Balkaria, a republic named after its native Kabardin and Balkar people, is one of Russia's poorest regions. Two ethnic territories form Kabardino-Balkaria: one predominantly of Kabardin (who speak a Caucasian language) and the other predominantly Balkar (who speak a Turkic language). There is also a significant Russian population. The Kabardians and the Balkars are Sunni Muslims. In 1944, Stalin accused the Balkars of collaborating with Nazi Germany and deported the entire population, removing their name from the republic's title. They were allowed to return only in 1957.

In 1992, the region was born. The republic felt pray to the instability afflicting other parts of the region and to the contagion of conflict in nearby Chechnya. In 2005, militants attacked security forces in the capital; many people were killed in the incident.

Almost all of the population live on agriculture, the main industrial backbone for the Kabardian economy. The tourism sector is rapidly growing, due to proper capital investment, but has attracted few tourists so far.

The Kabardin speak Kabardian , a northwest Caucasian language of which "Cherkess" is a dialect; the Balkar speak Balkar, a Turkic language virtually identical to "Karachay." Fortunately for the visitor, all are fluent in Russian . No English is understood, and this is not likely to change for a good while.

Virtually all enter via Nalchik NAL   IATA , which is easily reached from the airport at Mineralnye Vody in Stavropol Krai .

Trains from Moscow leave every day.

Mountain climbing

Mountain climbing is the biggest attraction of Kabardino-Balkaria, and here it's a serious sport. The most popular climb is undoubtedly Mount Elbrus , as it is one of the Seven Summits , and is a fairly easy climb in technical terms (Russian Grade: 2B). But bear in mind it's one of the world's deadliest climbs in terms of fatalities per climber — it's a long climb to the top and the mountain often has dangerous and unpredictable weather. Dykhtau and Koshtan-Tau are considerably more technically challenging climbs. Two of Georgia's highest peaks, Shkhara and Ushba , are also climbable from the Russian side. Although these climbs are illegal, since you cross the Russian-Georgian border, border enforcement is lax at 17,000   ft (5,200   m) . The Shkhara climb is a lot easier and safer on the southern face.

Because dealing with Russian officialdom is hellish bordering on impossible, it's best to embark on a mountaineering expedition via guided tour (the tour agencies pick you up from Mineralnye Vody or Nalchik right at the airport and act as your intermediary with all Russian officials. Russia-based tour agencies are much cheaper than Western ones:

• Pilgrim Tours , ☏ +7 495 660-3501 , [email protected] . Pilgrim Tours is a reliable company which specializes in Mount Elbrus climbs.  

Kabardino-Balkarian State University

While not as involved in the general conflict across the North Caucasus, Kabardino-Balkaria, especially Nalchik, has been attacked repeatedly by rebel and terrorist forces. Expect very tight security, realize that this is an unstable and dangerous part of the world, and make your travel plans accordingly.

The North Caucasus is an unstable and potentially dangerous region. Short-term travel restrictions are sometimes applied in relation to ongoing security operations with little or no notice. The border crossings to Georgia and Azerbaijan are subject to frequent, sometimes lengthy closures.

In Kabardino-Balkaria there are three federal GSM operators (MTS, Beeline, Megafon) and they often have offers that give you a SIM card for free or at least very cheap. If you are planning to stay a while and to keep in touch with Kabardino-Balkarian or other North-Caucasus people, then you should consider buying a local SIM card instead of going on roaming. If you buy a SIM card from a shop you'll need your passport for identification. It only takes five minutes to do the paperwork and it will cost less than $10.

Visiting Russia - Nalchik, Capital of Kabardino-Balkaria

By Koryo Tours

Nalchik, capital of Kabardino-Balkaria

Visiting Russia – Nalchik

Yoshkar-ola | cheboksary  |  astrakhan | elista | stalingrad (volograd)  | abakan  |  nalchik  | validkavkaz  | makhachkala  |  grozny.

Nalchik is a small city of around 240,000 people and serves as the capital of Kabardino-Balkaria, one of the lesser-known republics spread across the beautiful North Caucasus area of Russia, the mountain range that separates the former soviet states of Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan from the Russian Federation.

This region has incredible diversity in ethnic groups and is a melting pot at the edge of empire. While there have been civilisations in the Caucasus for millennia Nalchik as a city is only a century old, having been a Russian fort since 1724. Today’s Nalchik is a mostly peaceful and relaxing place, being in the foothills of the mountains it has many areas of great beauty and multiple sanatoria for people looking to take the waters, over the last century it has certainly had its share of turbulence though, being occupied by Romanian troops fighting on the side of the Nazis, who embarked on an effort to exterminate the ancient community of Mountain Jews in the area (unsuccessfully), plus a 2005 Islamic militant attack on Russian security forces.

These days Nalchik is known as a clean city, a place for relaxing, and the starting point of expeditions to summit Mt. Elbrus, the tallest mountain in Europe, which lies within Kabardino-Balkaria.

Kabardians make up the largest ethnic group at just under 50% of the city’s population, followed by Russians, Balkars, other Caucasian nationalities as well as Ukrainians, Mountain Jews still live in the area but in very small numbers now, most having emigrated to Israel.

Arriving/Departing

Nalchik Airport (NAL) is a small one but is fully functional for getting in and out, usually the foreigners arriving here will be mountaineers heading for Elbrus.

The Airport is only 3km from the city centre so you could even walk into town from here, otherwise, there are taxis and marshrutkas waiting for arrivals. Flights arrive only from Moscow and St. Petersburg usually, the Caucasus has other larger airports for other international flights (such as those to Sochi). Nalchik has a railway station, dating from 1915, with links to Moscow and across the Caucasus. A good option for travelling around the region in a relaxing manner (usually slower than taking a marshrutka between cities though) For getting around inside Nalchik there are public buses all over the place, easy to use and very cheap. Otherwise most of the centre is very walkable, the main ‘high street’ is Lenin Avenue, which runs for several km through the centre of the city.

Concord Square

The centre of Nalchik and a good place to start a walking tour of the city, with the Kabardino-Balkaria parliament building on one side and Lenin stands at the other, fountains in the middle and Lenin Avenue cutting through the square

Religious Buildings

The central buildings of the main religions practised in Nalchik are both fine examples of their respective architectural styles; the Central Mosque and the Cathedral of Mary Magdalene are both worth visiting. Dress codes apply.

Not actually in Nalchik, but only 50km or so away so the city is the ideal base for starting an expedition. This is Europe’s highest mountain and a dormant volcano. There are cable car/chairlift options to get t the top for those who don’t wish to do it the hard way. It is possible to get up and down this mountain n a single day, making it certainly the simplest of the 7 continental highest peaks to climb.

Museum of the Kabardino-Balkar Republic

Great for explaining where you are and the history of the area. Mostly in Russian only though and does tend to assume some knowledge in advance. Still a good stop to get some intro into the complex history of this city and area in general.

Atazhukin Garden

A large park complex running for more than 2km along the eastern side of the city, alongside the Nalchik River. A very pleasant place with so much to see and do. The basic Nalchik Zoo is here, walking trails, restaurants and cafes, theatres, a very retro funfair, and a rickety but reliable cable car running up to a lovely viewpoint to see over the city and out to Mt. Elbrus.

Topped by a restaurant building built in the shape of a Kabardian warrior. An excellent few hours can be spent exploring this park and mingling with the locals of all ages who do their relaxing here.
