Starry Night Tour in Novosibirsk
Let's incorporate both romance and culture in this low-budget outdoor date in Novosibirsk. On a starry, crisp night, you and your partner will spend your time exploring the city's architectural beauty while taking a tour of the starry night sky.
- The date starts in the early evening, when the sky is still of a deep blue, and some stars start peeking out. You've already chosen a walking path that takes you through some of the fascinating architectural parts of Novosibirsk.
- As you walk, you'll pause occasionally to look up at the sky. You could try to find your star sign constellation and tell each other stories about what they mean or simply gaze the starry night in comforting silence. Each pause to simply look at the stars could be romantic.
- You've packed some small comforts, maybe a flask of warm tea or coffee and some Russian snacks. So, when you need a break from the cold, you can sit down and share a snack. It will give you both a chance to warm your hands on the flask or each other and continue to talk as you sip on the warm drink.
Preparation steps:
- Since it's February, it's going to be quite cold outside. Make sure to get ready with proper clothing, gloves, scarfs, and hats. You can wear layers of clothes to be warm but ensure that they are comfortable enough. Also, invest in a proper pair of waterproof, warm boots. Keep both head and ears warm. Don't forget to take your camera for capturing the beautiful memories. Make sure the venue is open and available for public visits during this time.
- Make some Russian tea or coffee at home and pack them into a thermos. You can also prepare some Russian snacks to be enjoyed during the walk.
- Research the star pattern on the sky, so you can easily find and distinguish the most popular ones. You can also read about the history of the city architecture, which will make the walk much more interesting.
