Meet people in Novosibirsk
Novosibirsk pairs a lively center with the broad Ob River and a strong theatre and science identity. For a first meeting, keep the plan compact around Lenin Square and the Opera and Ballet Theatre; Akademgorodok is a separate trip, not a quick extension.

A first plan that fits the city
Choose a clear central meeting point near Lenin Square, then decide together between an architecture-and-theatre stroll or a walk toward Mikhailovskaya Embankment. Siberian weather changes the feel of outdoor plans, so have a warm indoor alternative in mind.
