The soul of the city: animals in symbols
Vladivostok 

Pladivostok is not accidentally friendly to animals. The main symbol of the city is the Amur tiger. His images are found at every step: from the coat of arms to huge murals on the facades of buildings. On the last weekend of September, the city celebrates Tiger Day. The central streets are filled with thousands of people in orange and black suits. Children and adults come out with posters in defense of wildlife. This is the only holiday in Russia dedicated to one of the rarest predators on the planet. The festival reminds: Vladivostok is a city where man and nature live nearby.

Respect for wildlife is also reflected in the unique nature reserves of Primorye."Land of the leopard" and Kedrovaya Pad preserve rare animals in their natural habitat.

📌 However, walking with pets along the protected trails is prohibited here for the safety of both the animals and the animals themselves.

But do not be upset: in Vladivostok there are enough places where you can touch the “soul” of the city. You will find many art objects and sculptures dedicated to our smaller brothers. Walk through the streets and find these iconic places:

• Sculpture "Tigrate Amurchik and Taiga" Sports Harbour Street
• A mural of an Amur tiger at 14 Chapayeva Street.
• A monument to "Matroska the Cat," which became the mascot of the Admiral hockey club.
• A mural of "Vasili the Leopard," depicting a rare Far Eastern leopard, on Svetlanskaya Street.
• A graffiti piece titled "Vladivostok and the Sea Dragon" near the Millionka district.

Each work reminds us that animals are part of the soul of Vladivostok.
