💡 Tips

  • Watch the Singing Fountain light show in the Olympic Park, which usually starts around 8:00 PM or 9:00 PM.
  • Rent an electric scooter or bicycle to get around, as the distances within the Olympic Park are very large.
  • Use the 'Lastochka' express train to quickly reach central Sochi or the mountain resorts of Krasnaya Polyana.
  • Buy 'aqua shoes' at a local stall; the beaches are very pebbly and getting in the water can be tricky without them.
  • Check the schedule of the Sirius Science and Art Park for world-class classical music concerts and lectures.
