If you're a connoisseur of Lenin statues, don't miss the one overlooking the train station from the west, next to the post office. There are also some interesting statues heading east on Svetlanskaya, both Soviet-era and abstract.
Artillery of Vladivostok Fortress
Arsenev Regional History Museum, 20 Svetlanskaya St (At the intersection of Aleutskaya and Svetlanskaya), ☎ +7 4232 41-40-82. Mostly a natural history museum, save for a few pieces of Stalinist kitsch and a tribute to Hollywood star and hometown hero Yul Brynner. There are some interesting displays on pre-Russian settlers and their techniques for hunting and survival, but the death-dance between the tiger and the bear has to be seen to be believed. �
Museum Vladivostok Fortress, 4-a Batareynaya St, ☎ +7 4232 40-08-96, . 10AM-6PM daily. Overlooking the sea, these fortifications were built more than a century ago to guard against invasion from Japan. Today, the grounds are cluttered with defused bombs, chain guns, and small military vehicles. Those can be visited for free; there's a small fee to go inside the several rooms of the fort, which feature displays on the history of Russia's presence in the region and some intricate dioramas. �
Naval memorial, Vladivostok
Naval Memorial, Korabelnaya Embankment. �
Primorsky State Art Gallery, 12 Aleutskaya St, ☎ +7 4232 41-11-95. Traveling art exhibitions and a well-regarded collection of classic European masters. �
C-56 Submarine, Korabelnaya nab. You can't board the Pacific Fleet, but this submarine is parked on land, by the Naval Memorial, and welcomes visitors; the interior is pretty well-preserved, and you can monkey around more or less unattended while you're inside. There's usually someone selling Soviet pins and military gear outside. �
Vladivostok Station, Aleutskaya St. Even if your journey doesn't involve trains, the beautiful old Vladivostok Station is worth a look. �
