Best Boat Rides in Switzerland (10 Lakes)

Boat rides are immensely popular in Switzerland, whether we’re talking about short lake cruises or multi-day river cruises. From passenger ferries to the best gastro tours, I’ve compiled an extensive list of all the best boat rides in Switzerland. 

Whether you want to spend half an hour on a boat or do a cruise that will take up half a day, you’ve got options. Even week-long river cruises are available, which will take you to a different country and allow you to explore the heart of Western Europe. From Lake Constance to Lake Geneva, here are all the best boat rides in Switzerland! 

Table of Contents

Lake Lucerne

Lake Lucerne offers some of the best boat rides in the entire country. Sure, all of the lakes mentioned in the rest of this guide are lovely and offer scenic views, but cruises on Lake Lucerne are actually included in Switzerland’s panoramic train excursions. The Gotthard Panorama Express includes a boat ride from Fluelen to Lucerne, and it’s just as good as the train ride. 

Trips to Mt. Pilatus can also include a short but scenic boat ride (from Lucerne to Vitznau), and it’s the best way of traveling to the summit. It’s the same with Mt. Rigi , which is on the opposite lake shore. Whether you want to travel to a tall mountain summit or just experience a romantic dinner during a boat cruise, Lake Lucerne doesn’t disappoint. 

Other popular cruises on Lake Lucerne take you to Weggis , Hersiwill, and Beckenried. Many towns on the shore have piers, and each has something wonderful to offer, so don’t hesitate to get off the boat and explore whenever you see a sight you like. Don’t worry about the tickets if you have the Swiss Travel Pass because all passenger ferries are included for free with the pass. 

Lake Zurich 

Lake Zurich is a relatively small lake, at least when compared to some others in Switzerland. But it has a lot of traffic, and it’s a great lake for boat rides. Whether you want to go on a romantic sightseeing cruise or travel to another town on the shore, Lake Zurich is a great destination. 

Ferries to nearby towns are best if you’re looking for cheap rides. I recommend a boat ride to Kilchberg – it’s short and affordable, and when you reach the destination you can tour the Lindt Home of Chocolate . Standard passenger ferries should be covered with the Swiss Travel Pass, but not themed and gastro cruises. 

Boat rides to Rapperswil are also very popular. Adults visit the city to explore the historic buildings in the old town, while families with children prefer to spend their time at the local zoo. 

Finally, I must mention that Zurich offers the unique opportunity to combine a river cruise with a lake cruise. Head to the docks at Bürkliplatz, where you can board boats that will take you on a cruise on the Limmat River, which offers spectacular sights of Zurich’s old town. Then you’ll turn around and set sail on Lake Zurich , for even more wonderful views. 

Lake Brienz and Lake Thun

Lake Brienz and Lake Thun are both very popular for boat rides. Both lakes are easily accessible from the docks in Interlaken, and one daily pass allows you to go on as many boat rides as you want on either lake in 24 hours. 

If you already have a travel pass for Switzerland, you can get a 50% discount on the daily pass. It’s excellent value for money because you can explore many lovely towns and landmarks on the shore of either like. Some highlights include: 

• Thun Castle
• St. Beatus Caves
• Giessbach Falls

There’s more to enjoy but those are the top sights on the shores of Lake Thun and Lake Brienz, and you could visit them all in one day! 

One thing to note is that both lakes also offer themed cruises and culinary cruises. Tickets for these experiences are significantly more expensive since they include meals, but are a very romantic way of experiencing either Swiss lake. 

Lake Geneva

Lake Geneva (Lac Leman) is the largest lake in Switzerland. As such, it offers a wide variety of fun and interesting boat rides, from quick transfers between towns to gastro cruises. All standard rides on passenger ferries are free with the Swiss Travel Pass. The best season for Lake Geneva boat rides is April to October because cruise frequency is reduced in the colder season. 

Some of my favorite cruises on the lake are from Geneva and Montreux. Ride a boat from Geneva to Lausanne, stopping at the charming town of Morges . Plenty of other towns on the western shore are worth visiting, on both the French and Swiss sides of the lake. 

I prefer the eastern shore for the dramatic views of the tall mountains. Boat rides from Montreux are always fun, especially the quick trips to Chateau de Chillon . 

Lake Constance 

Lake Constance is in the northeast of the country and cruises on this lake are special because you can visit two countries during one boat ride. Depart from Rorschach or Arbon to lakefront cities in Germany or Austria. Rides to Mainau Island are always a fun and delightful experience. 

My favorite cruises on this lake are all in the Lower Lake Constanz section. Ride a boat to Reichenau Island from the Swiss part of the lake, and you’ll experience a wonderful cruise on both a lake and a river. Travel to Konstanz to enjoy a panoramic cruise followed by a walking tour of a medieval old town. 

The most popular cruise on the eastern side of the lake is the round trip from Rorschach to Lindau and back to Rorschach. You’ll cover more than 60 kilometers during the two-hour boat ride and pass next to the Rhine River delta. 

Lake Lugano 

Straddling the border of Switzerland and Italy, Lake Lugano is a very popular destination in the south of the country. Boat rides on the lake allow you to explore two different countries, and numerous smaller towns and villages along the shore. 

One of the most popular cruises on the lake is from Lugano to Gandria. The 30-minute boat ride is covered with the Swiss Travel Pass, and it’s the only way to reach the quaint Swiss Customs Museum in Gandria. 

Swissminiatur Park in Melide also has its own pier. If you can, travel from Lugano by boat to the theme park, and then spend a couple of hours enjoying all the miniature versions of Switzerland’s most famous attractions. The boat trip is only 30 minutes long, and you can always travel back by train or bus. 

Finally, don’t miss out on the chance to visit Campione d’Italia. The small Italian enclave is entirely surrounded by the Ticino Canton and it’s a lovely place to visit. 

Lake Maggiore

Lake Maggiore is one of the largest lakes in Switzerland, so it shouldn’t be surprising that it’s also one of the best for boat rides. Cruises on Lago Maggiore offer wonderful scenic views, but also the opportunity to visit some unique Swiss landmarks. 

I’m thinking of the Brissago Islands with their famous botanical garden. This is one of the best things to do in the area in the summer, so head to Ranco sopra Ascona for a quick boat transfer to the small islands. 

Ascona and Locarno are the two largest towns on the northern shore of the lake. But keep in mind that only a small part of this massive lake is in Switzerland; the vast majority is on the Italian side, and some of the best cruises actually take place in Italy. 

Stresa has some of the best cruises on Lake Maggiore. Arrange a private tour of Borromean Islands to discover a fabulous Palazzo floating on the lake, or just board one of the standard ferries and let it take you to a charming Italian town on the lake shore. 

Lake Zug 

Lake Zug is the 10th largest in Switzerland with some of the best culinary boat rides in the country. If you’re tired of fondue dinners, Lake Zug is the destination for you because it offers a variety of gastro cruises that don’t include cheese in any form. Sushi cruises are popular on Lake Zug, as are their unique Crepes cruises! 

Culinary cruises have a special price and aren’t covered with travel passes, so keep that in mind. A cheaper way of experiencing a boat ride on Lake Zug is to board one of the standard passenger ferries. The most popular ride is from Zug to Arth; it takes about an hour to cross the distance of some 14 kilometers, allowing you to explore almost the entire length of the lake. 

From Zug, you can also go to Cham. It’s only a 15-minute ride, and once you disembark you can explore the lovely Park Villette. The vast green space is an oasis of serenity, offering stunning views of the lake and beautifully landscaped surroundings. 

Three Lakes Cruises

If you travel to western Switzerland you’ll have the unique opportunity to visit three lakes on one boat ride. Lakes Biel, Murten, and Neuchatel are connected by narrow canals, which allow to you explore all three lakes during the same cruise. And you don’t have to get off the boat anywhere!

Board a boat at either Biel or Murten and enjoy the 4-hour ride. You’ll see vineyards, tall mountain summits, and quite a few charming towns during this wonderful experience. 

The only downside of this unique cruise is that you don’t get to spend too much time on Lake Neuchatel. I recommend returning to the majestic lake once you’ve completed the 4-hour cruise; it is the largest lake that lies entirely in Switzerland and offers many wonderful sights along its shores. 

Rhine Cruises Basel

Lakes aren’t the only bodies of water that offer cruises in Switzerland. River cruises are also popular and Rhine River offers some of Europe’s best river cruises. By far the best one is the cruise from Basel to Amsterdam, which takes approximately 8 days. 

Travel through four different countries and discover some amazing landscapes in Switzerland, Germany, France, and the Netherlands. You’ll stop at several big cities, each with its own unique historic landmarks and natural attractions. 

Castles, medieval towns, and fabulous views are all to be expected from Rhine River cruises from Basel. Also, boat trips to Frankfurt and Nuremberg are available. They’re shorter than cruises to Amsterdam, and generally a bit more affordable. 

Tips for Boat Rides in Switzerland

Consider these tips to ensure you always have the best time when riding boats in Switzerland: 

• Always check if the boat ride is included in the Swiss Travel Pass (passenger ferries should be free)
• Purchase tickets online a couple of days earlier when visiting in peak season
• Reserve a table at the onboard restaurant for a guaranteed seat during longer boat rides
• Don’t be afraid to get off the boat and explore – you can always travel back by another boat, train, or bus 
• Gastro and themed cruises are more private but also expensive
• Private boat tours of some Alpine lakes are available

Lake Zurich (Zurichsee)

Price & Hours

• Food Scene 4.0
• Atmosphere 5.0

Surrounding the bottom of banana-shaped Lake Zurich is a tangle of parks and gardens, collectively known as the lake promenade, that make for a picturesque place to spend an afternoon. When the weather is warm, the lake is peppered with boats and its banks are filled with picnickers and bikini- and speedo clad-sunbathers. If you're a jogger, the area is also one of Zürchers' favorite places to pound the ground.

For some of the best views of Zurich and the nearby Alps, travelers suggest taking a boat ride on the lake. Boat tours are available throughout the year and are free for Zurich Card holders, while a daily tram card will get you on the water too.

To get to Lake Zurich's promenade, which is in Kreis 2, visitors can take a No. 161, 165 or N15 bus or one of several train or tram lines to Billoweg or Wollishofen station, which are about a block from the waterfront. Dozens of shops and restaurants can be found near Lake Zurich's shores, as well as a limited amount of street parking. The lake and its promenade are free to access 24 hours a day. Visit Zurich’s Tourism website  to find out more about the lake and boat tours.

Scenic lake cruises and boat trips in Switzerland

With around 1,500 lakes in total, Switzerland is home to some sizable bodies of clear, sparkling water. Over 100 of these have a surface area exceeding 30 hectares. Lake Geneva (Lac Léman in French) is the largest of these, and is known all over the world. 

Many major European rivers also flow through Switzerland, so for a landlocked country there is a lot of water. Exploring these lakes and rivers can be a highlight of any Swiss vacation, but it goes way beyond that.

In Switzerland, taking journeys by boat is often a practical matter of getting from A to B. In addition to leisure trips operated by the likes of Lake Geneva cruise lines, there are public transport boats connecting destinations so a daily commute may involve travelling across the lakes or down the rivers. 

For the Swiss, in many instances the easiest way to get from one place to another is in fact by boat, so this is simply a way of life. Boat trips are therefore an essential part of the national transport system. 

As a visitor, you may be able to choose between taking a train and hopping onto a boat when planning how to get from one village, town or city to another.

A typical example is the trip between Bern and Interlaken, which can involve a cruise across Lake Thun. Though this is more time-consuming, it’s a great way to see more of the country while getting from one destination to another. 

This guide will take you through all you need to know about lake cruises and boat trips in Switzerland – including scenic cruises typically taken by tourists as well as Swiss Travel Pass boat rides holders can take for free. 

From the famous shores of Lake Geneva to the River Rhine, these are the best boat trips in Switzerland. Which ones will you take?

Quick Summary of Swiss boat trips covered in this guide

Lake geneva cruises.

For many visitors, there’s no Switzerland cruise that is as highly anticipated as a Lake Geneva cruise.  As one of the largest lakes in Western Europe, Lake Geneva (or Lac Léman as it is known in French), is located in western Switzerland.

Covering an area of 580km², the crescent-shaped lake is partly in Switzerland and partly in France and lies just north of the Alps.

Stretching from the westernmost point at Geneva to Montreux on the eastern shores, Lake Geneva is also at the feet of some other attractive Swiss cities and towns including Nyon, Lausanne and Vevey.

Above the latter two towns, the UNESCO World Heritage-listed terraced Lavaux Vineyards cover 800 hectares and make the ideal backdrop to the crystal clear waters of Lake Geneva.

The most popular routes among Lake Geneva boat tours include the cruise from Geneva to Lausanne, from Geneva to Evian-les-Bains on the French shore, and from Lausanne to Evian. Cruises to or from Geneva, Montreux or Vevey are also available. 

If you are planning to take one of the above Lake Geneva boat tours, Swiss Pass holders can travel for free whilst those without a Swiss Pass can buy a ticket at the boat pier.

Another option is to take the Yvoire boat from Geneva to visit this small, medieval French destination on the shores of the lake. Boats on this route also stop at Nyon, and you can find out more about this and other routes via the CGN website . 

There is also the option to book a dinner cruise on Lake Geneva in Switzerland.

Vessels operating on Lake Geneva include a fleet of Belle Epoque paddle steamers and modern motor boats.

Below you will find some of the most popular Lake Geneva boat cruises.

Lake Lucerne cruises

At 38 kilometres long, Lake Lucerne may not be Switzerland’s longest lake but it is one of the most uniquely shaped. The lake has four distinct ‘arms’ and several sharp bends which makes a superb scene when viewed from one of the surrounding mountains such as Mt. Rigi or Mt. Pilatus .

Officially called Vierwaldstattersee in German (which translates to ‘four forest sites’), the lake is shared between the cantons of Uri, Schwyz, Unterwalden and Lucerne.

When planning a lake cruise, Lucerne is the most popular starting point and there are numerous options to choose from.

You can take a cruise on Lake Lucerne that includes a three course gourmet lunch, hop aboard a luxury yacht for a scenic tour or take a journey across Lake Lucerne to Vitznau as part of a Mount Rigi day trip.

Other options include the Lucerne to Fluelen boat ride across Lake Lucerne, which is part of the Gotthard Panorama Express route. Find out more about this iconic journey via the Gotthard Pass in Switzerland in our dedicated guide here .  

From 2022, five paddle steamers will be in use every summer between late May and mid September. Travel on these Lake Lucerne steamers is also included with the Swiss Travel Pass (food and beverages are additional). 

As well as the paddle steamers and a fleet of modern motor boats, Lucerne is also home to MS Diamant , Switzerland’s first climate-neutral boat in regular service. The vessel is also the first Swiss hybrid boat in operation.

Popular Lake Lucerne cruises include:

Two hour Lake Lucerne cruise with lunch

Lake Thun & Lake Brienz cruises

Located either side of the holiday resort town of Interlaken, Lake Thun and Lake Brienz offer totally different experiences for those who’d like to cruise in the Bernese Oberland.

With a choice of both paddle steamers and modern motor boats, there is a cruise to suit everyone.

The larger of the two lakes, Lake Thun stretches 17.5 kilometres (10.8 miles) from Interlaken to Thun.   

Lake Thun boat tours call at Oberhofen and Spiez where you can disembark to see the impressive castles, or you hop off at St. Beatus Caves to explore the network of caverns, stalactites and stalagmites, before rejoining a later service.   

If you are short on time and don’t wish to disembark enroute, the cruise from Interlaken to Thun – or vice versa – takes just over two and a half hours.  The boat pier is located by the Interlaken West train station.

The return journey can be taken by boat (subject to the timetable) or train.

Boat trips on Lake Brienz stop at the pretty village of Iseltwald and at Giessbach Falls before continuing on to Brienz, well known for its wood carving. If you choose to disembark at Giessbach Falls, you can take a funicular to the Giessbach Hotel for lunch or a snack and view the magnificent waterfalls.

You can reach Brienz from Interlaken by boat in 75 minutes. The boat pier is located beside Interlaken Ost train station and, just like the boat trips on Lake Thun, the return journey can be made by boat or train.

Lake Brienz boat trips operate from April to October only.

Why not make your day out extra special by including a ride on the Brienzer Rothorn steam train when you reach Brienz?

Interlaken Lake Thun cruise day pass 

This Interlaken cruise pass allows you to travel all day on Lake Thun, plus Lake Brienz if you travel between early April and mid-October. As you travel over the water you can see pretty Swiss villages with traditional chalets and snow-capped mountain peaks.

Lake Brienz cruise day pass

Between early April and mid-October, a day pass is also available for Lake Brienz. Regular services connect Interlaken and Brienz with stops at Iseltwald and Giessbach Falls, making this one of the most popular boat tours Interlaken has to offer.

The cruise day pass is essentially a self-guided ‘tour’ giving you the flexibility to hop on and off as you wish.

Lake Zurich cruises

Imagine commuting to work in Switzerland’s largest city across a tranquil lake with the spectacular Swiss Alps as a backdrop!  Many folks in Zurich do just that and you can experience this serene way to travel too!

The city of Zurich sits at one end of the 40-kilometre (25-mile) long banana-shaped Lake Zurich, and there are numerous different cruises available depending on how much time you have available.

The Lake Zurich Navigation Company operates 17 different ships – including two paddle steamers – with round trip cruises ranging from 90 minutes to 4.5 hours in duration. 

One of the most popular boat trips is from Zurich city to the Lindt Home of Chocolate in Kilchberg which takes just 27 minutes. 

The boat trip from Zurich to Rapperswil is another I personally recommend. Rapperswil, known as the City of Roses, is well worth visiting and is a relaxing two hour boat ride from Zurich. 

Make it a full day’s excursion by cruising both ways or travel by train one way (40 minutes) and boat the other.  Both modes of transport are free with your Swiss Travel Pass .

The Zurich boat pier is located at Bürkliplatz. 

3.5 hour Zurich sightseeing tour with cruise 

This Zurich lake cruise price covers a boat trip across Lake Zurich as well as guided tours of the city on foot and by bus. As you glide across the water, your guide will tell you all about the history and famous sights of Switzerland’s biggest city.

Lake Lugano cruise

Fringed with palm trees and framed by surrounding Alps, there’s a real Mediterranean vibe around Lake Lugano.

The lake is shared between Switzerland and Italy and cruises and boat trips on the lake offer the chance to visit both countries.

Lunch and dinner cruises are also available.

Cruises on Lake Lugano operate from April to October.  The boat pier can be found at Lugano Centro.

4.5 hour Monte Bré trip via Lake Lugano

3 Lakes cruises – Neuchâtel, Biel and Murten

The Three Lakes area encompasses Lakes Neuchâtel, Murten and Biel/Bienne in the Jura region in Switzerland’s west. This area has a gentle landscape awash with Swiss farmland and rolling vineyards, and also connects with the Aare River. 

Cruises operate on all three lakes and passengers can choose from cruises on just one lake, two or three as the lakes are connected by canals.  Lake Biel Navigation Company operates the boat trips on Lake Biel, whilst Lacs de Neuchâtel et Morat offer cruises on Lake Neuchâtel and Murten.

On Lake Biel/Bienne, the village of Ligerz and St. Peter’s Island are popular places to disembark and stroll around.  The medieval town of Murten (on Lake Murten) and the well-known wellness town of Yverdon-les-Bains (Lake Neuchatel) are other much-visited cruise destinations.

You can take a Three Lakes cruise from Biel to Erlach to Murten lasting for a little over three hours. It’s free with the Swiss Travel Pass – as is the epic 8-hour cruise that operates on special occasions.

Lunch and dinner cruises, as well as theme cruises are available.

In total, there are 28 landing stages on the three lakes which can be found in the cantons of Neuchatel, Fribourg , Vaud and Bern.

Options include a cruise between Schaffhausen and Kreuzlingen which takes around four hours, or from Basel to Rheinfelden.  Further details can be found below.

Rhine River cruise from Schaffhausen to Kreuzlingen

This route takes you from Schaffhausen to Kreuzlingen with numerous stops along the way.  Two towns worth disembarking at are Diessenhofen, which is a member of the Most Beautiful Villages in Switzerland organisation, and Stein am Rhein, a pretty medieval town with an attractive Old Town.

Rhine River cruise from Basel to Rheinfelden

Despite being located in a landlocked country, Basel has something of a maritime air due to the fact that it’s at the mouth of the mighty River Rhine. Local company Basler Personenschifffahrt operates boat trips from Basel to Rheinfelden between March and October. 

These boat trips last for about four hours and you can see various Basel landmarks. You should even be able to make out parts of Germany and France as you glide across the water, and you’ll also pass a couple of major locks, namely Birsfelden and Augst. 

Cruises and boat trips in Switzerland: Useful things to know

If you’re interested in taking trips around Switzerland by boat or cruising the lakes or the Rhine, there are some useful facts worth knowing to help you plan your trip. 

Swiss Travel Pass

The first thing to consider when planning any trip to Switzerland is the purchase of a Swiss Travel Pass . As mentioned above in various sections, the pass covers boat trips on the major lakes in the country.

A Swiss Travel Pass also gives the holder free public transport in all Swiss destinations, plus some cogwheel, funicular and scenic railway routes. Entry to hundreds of museums is also included. 

Alternatively you could buy a Swiss Half Fare Card to receive 50% off the price of boat trips. 

Learn more about the Swiss Travel Pass and the Swiss Half Fare Card in this article . 

1st and 2nd class travel in Switzerland

Swiss public transport such as trains and some boats includes first and second class travel options. You can select either option when buying individual tickets or passes. On boats, the first class section is usually found on the upper deck. 

First class carriages are generally more spacious and private, and may give you better views over the landscape. This option is ideal for the trip-of-a-lifetime or honeymooners, as well as those who don’t mind paying more for a bit of extra space.

Swiss boat piers

As they form such an important part of the Swiss public transport network, boat piers in Switzerland are often located right next to the train station. This allows for seamless travel via several modes of transport – and makes it easier for visitors to find them. 

Restaurants on Swiss boats

A number of Swiss ferries and boats have on-board eateries, making it convenient to dine while you travel. 

Swiss boat timetables 

You can find timetables for each Swiss boat operator via their websites or on the Swiss Federal Railways website sbb.ch or the SBB app. Do bear in mind when planning your trip that some services may be seasonal: this particularly applies to funicular and cogwheel railways, cable cars and boats. 

Swiss lake names – See, Lac or Lago

Switzerland has four official languages – German, French, Italian and Romansch – and therefore you’ll notice the word for lake differs depending on which language-speaking region you are in.

In German-speaking Switzerland, the word for lake is see so Lake Zurich is called Zürichsee whilst Lake Thun is Thunersee, and so on.

In Geneva and the Three Lakes Region where French is the local language, Lake Geneva is referred to as Lac L é man and Lake Neuchâtel as Lac Neuchâtel .

Lake Lugano, in the Italian-speaking canton of Ticino, is called Lago Lugano .

Lake cruises and boat trips in Switzerland: Final thoughts

Whether you opt to take a boat trip to help make your Swiss journeys more seamless or more scenic, there are so many possibilities to enjoy a Switzerland cruise. 

The abundance of lakes and rivers here makes the journey all part of the experience – not least when you have soaring peaks, rolling hills, undulating vineyards, lush meadows, Alpine chalets and crystal clear waters as the picturesque backdrop.

Different epochs

Taking a walk along the Moskva River by boat, you will witness the architecture of Moscow from different eras and styles. Archaeological studies indicate that already in the XI century there stood a fortified settlement on Borovitsky hill, which is now called the Kremlin. Little fortress could not accommodate all the residents of the rapidly growing city, and the Grand Duke ordered the construction of a new Kremlin, larger than the former.

Boat trip around Kolomenskoe Park

Moscow river boat trip starts from the pier Klenovy (Maple) Boulevard and provides reat views of Nicholas Perervinsky monastery.

Nicholas Perervinsky monastery was founded at the time of the Battle of Kulikov (1380). The monastery, got its name from the surrounding area – “Pererva”, which can be translated like “tear off” and because of the location –  here it abruptly changed its course, turning to Kolomna, standing on the opposite bank.

Nowadays Kolomenskoye is State Art, Historical, Architectural and Natural Landscape Museum-Reserve, which doors are open to everyone who wants to get in touch with the ancient history of Russia.

Take a break from the big city hustle in the shady parks and gardens of the Kolomenskoe Museum-Reserve. Don’t miss a wonderful Church of the Ascension and Tsar Alexey’s Palace in Kolomenskoye!

Monasteries and temples

• Founded in the 13th century on the site where now is located the Danilovsky monastery. After a few decades, in 1330, Ivan Kalita moved the monastery onto the Borovitskii hill of the Kremlin. However, in the 15th century, Spassky Monastery again moved, this time to a more spacious place on Krasnoholmskaya waterfront.
• Church of St. Nicholas in Zayaitskom
• Erected in the middle of the XVIII century in baroque style. The building survived after the 1812 fire, but the utensils were destoyed. Parishioners collected donations and restored the temple on their own. In Soviet times, it was closed and re-opened only in 1992.
• Cathedral of Christ the Savior
• The church was originally erected in honor of the victory over Napoleon and was being under construction for long 44 years.
