I spent a day in Perm, a city that covers an area of 799,68 square km. It takes the third place among Russian cities, after Moscow and Saint-Peters burg. The city is situated on hills. The distinguishing feature of the city’s relief is the large quantity of small rivers and brooks.

Perm is located on the bank of the Kama River, the main tributary of the Volga River and the one of the deepest and most picturesque rivers of Russia. The Kama is the water-way which grants the Urals access to the White Sea, Baltic Sea, Sea of Azov, Black Sea, and Caspian Sea. Kama divides the city into two parts, Central part and right-banked part. The city stretches for 70 km along the Kama and 40 km across of it. All latitudinal streets settles down along the river, all meridional streets across of it.
