Day 15 (July 05) Krasnoyarsk 19:05 to Novosibirsk 08:28 (+1) - 24° / 11°
Breakfast at the Hotel Krasnoyarsk was delightful. The machine-brewed coffee was exceptional. The breakfast experience on the 4th floor of the Krasnoyarsk Hotel was quite unique. It appears to be a hotel from the Soviet era that has undergone recent updates and renovations. Following breakfast, we embarked on a walking tour by the Yenisei River, exploring the various historical landmarks. A gentle drizzle accompanied our stroll, with the temperature hovering around 18°C. The water surface of the Yenisei was shrouded in mist, resulting from the temperature difference between the air and the water. It felt like a surreal experience.

Krasnoyarsk Big Ben. This lovely edifice with a large clock is located near the Opera Theater on the left bank of the Yenisey River. The Communal Bridge, which was portrayed on the last 10 rouble banknotes, began near this edifice, known locally as "Big Ben." It also bears some resemblance to London's iconic Big Ben.
