10th place - Sochi
An amazing city that everyone should visit at least once in their life!
Krasnoyarsk with its “pillars” cannot be higher in the rating than Irkutsk with its Baikal! This cannot be by definition! Official statistics put Irkutsk in fifth place. Irkutsk is generally on the 4th place after Sochi in terms of visits by foreigners.
If you provide an official source to support your words, we will compile an updated rating based on the data received.
I agree, although the Krasnoyarsk Nature Reserve Stolby is a very interesting and beautiful place. This is not only the Pillars themselves, but the entire forest area around them (very large) is amazingly beautiful.
