What to Expect and Is It Worth Visiting
Main Narzan Gallery (pump room) is the largest drinking gallery in Kislovodsk, where anyone can drink medicinal mineral water for free and without any prescriptions. Here you can taste water from several sources at once: dolomite cold and warm, and sulfate cold and warm. Each of the species differs in its medicinal properties.
You can use water as much as you want, but according to the rules, you can't take it with you. In practice, it is quite possible to put it in a small drinking bottle, but there is no great point in doing this, since it still loses its properties within a few hours. You can only collect water for drinking in glasses or special ceramic mugs, which are sold immediately for 2 and 200 rubles, respectively, or bring your own.
However, it is still not recommended to carry out uncontrolled use and self-medication with water, since it is very "active", not at all like it is sold in bottles in stores. Its use in excess of the norm can be harmful, besides there are contraindications. Consumption rates can be calculated from tables on the walls inside the gallery, usually no more than 200 grams at a time for adults. There are also indications for use for each type. But it is best to carry out treatment with mineral waters according to recommendations and under the supervision of specialists while staying in one of the resorts of Kislovodsk.
