Smolensk from the hill by Assumption Cathedral. - Smolensk

Smolensk from the hill by Assumption Cathedral.

WE HAD COME THROUGH FROM BELARUS, ON A BUS TOUR. SEE "BELARUS" PAGE. WE WERE ONLY IN SMOLENSK OVERNIGHT, AND THEN HAD A BUS AND FOOT TOUR OF THE CITY IN THE MORNING. I WASN'T ABLE TO GET MANY PHOTOS, SO I HAVE INCLUDED SOME 'OLD' POSTCARDS HERE ON THIS SITE.SMOLENSK SEEMED LIKE A RUN DOWN CITY, A FADED BEAUTY, BUT I SHOULDN'T JUDGE ON ONE SHORT TOUR OF 3 HOURS.

Pros and Cons

Pros:Our guide was very friendly, but we didn't meet anyone else. So a bus tour only gives a limited overview of a city.
Cons:unable to ccmment
In a nutshell:In need of some tender loving care
