Walk around Arkhangelsk and the museum of wooden architecture "Little Korels".
In the first half of the day we will be walking around Arkhangelsk. It's a lively, atmospheric port city. Among multi-storey houses there are sea gulls circling, and the Dvina looks not like a river, but like an endless sea (to which, by the way, 30 km). In the afternoon we go to the Museum of Wooden Architecture "Little Korels", where we will stay till dark. Evening we will meet in an Argentinean restaurant and jazz bar - a drop of fun before bedtime will not hurt!

Гостиные Дворы
We'll start the day by walking around Arkhangelsk. Visit the oldest building in the city - Gostiny Dvor (end of XVII century). Look at the wooden skyscraper and piercing military monuments. Almost everywhere in Arkhangelsk, except the center, there are wooden pavements - it's much more pleasant to walk on them than on asphalt.
Be sure to visit Archangelsk port - the oldest in the country. Even before St. Petersburg Arkhangelsk was a window of Russia to Europe. Visit Peter the Great on the Northern Dvina embankment - this monument is depicted on a 500-ruble bill. Finally look at Solombala Island - the most picturesque area of old Arkhangelsk.

музей архангельского пряника
The most souvenirs can be bought in the museum-workshop "Arkhangelsk Gingerbread" - it is located in the city center. Goats - or baked dough figures decorated with burnt sugar - are the symbol and protection of Pomorie. It is believed that they protect the house from evil spirits.
