My favorite place in the city

I want to tell you about my most favorite places in my city.
I live in Yekaterinburg, it's the center of the Ural Federal District. Yekaterinburg was built in 1723 on the river Iset (Исеть). The embankment of the river is my favorite place.
The river flows through the city center. On weekends, holidays and the sunny days in an ordinary city residents like to walk along the embankment.
But there is a quiet place where you can retire and enjoy the views of their city.
Аrchitecture Yekaterinburg architecture is comprised of combines different styles. Walking around the city, you can see houses built in the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century, as well as new modern buildings.
I love my city.

'Embankment' is perfectly acceptable.

My favorite place in the city

I want to tell you about my most favorite places in my city.
I live in Yekaterinburg. It's the center of the Ural Federal District. Yekaterinburg was built in 1723 on the river Iset (Исеть). The Еmbankment (not a common word. maybe you mean levee?) of the river is my favorite place.
The river flows through the city centre. On the weekends, on holidays and on the ordinary sunny days, in an ordinary city residents like to walk along the embankment levee?.
But there is a quiet place where you can retire (not really used except in the expression "retire to their/my/your/his/her room, and to retire meaning to stop working) stop and rest, and enjoy the views of their city.
The architecture of Yekaterinburg combines different styles. Walking around the city, you can see houses built in the late nineteenth century and the early twentieth century, as well as new buildings.
I love my city.
