Lonely Planet review for Vladivostok Fortress Museum

Attention fort fans: Vladivostok teems with sprawling, rather unique subterranean forts (130 in all) built between the 1880s and early 20th century to ward off potential Japanese (or American) attacks. Neophytes are best sticking with the easily accessible Vladivostok Fortress Museum, overlooking Sportivnaya Harbour. This hilltop museum is built in a fort that operated from 1882 to 1923, and is now home to many cannons and a five-room indoor exhibit of models, photos and artefacts – all refreshingly subtitled in English. You can climb onto (and aim) anti-aircraft guns pointing towards Hokkaido. You reach the fort from ul Zapadnaya.

    Large collection of guns, cannons and other cool artifacts

    dzema recommends this,

    They have a lot of things to show including weapon, models of different forts and so on. Plus you can rotate/aim/play with huge cannons in the yard. Every day at noon they were used to shoot blank cartridge from one of the cannons to mark the time.
