There are stupendous panoramic views of Murmansk on offer at 7 Nebo (Seventh Heaven), located on the 17th floor of the Azimut Hotel in the centre of the city. With imported beers and decent wine list, plus tasty pasta and pastries, this is the place to watch the sun descend languidly towards the horizon during the long summer nights.
