Today you will visit picturesque Zaraisk, take a walk in the park of Dostoevsky manor, and at the end of the day you will have dinner in a seafood restaurant.
We start the morning with a rustic breakfast of local fresh produce.
After leaving the hotel, head to the small town of Zaraisk. Here you will find Zaraisk Kremlin, which is the smallest Kremlin of Moscow region. From Wednesday to Saturday you can take a tour of the Kremlin museums. You can buy tickets or book a tour in advance on [official site](http://museumzaraysk.ru/posetiteljam/services/).
Take a walk on the territory of the Darovoye estate where F.M. Dostoevsky spent all his childhood. The natural landscape of the place has been preserved intact to this day. It is worth getting acquainted with this place, if only because it influenced the fate and further life of the writer. You can take a walk in the manor park any day of the week, but a visit to the outhouse is possible only with a guided tour by calling 8 (496)-66 730-72 in advance.
For lunch stop by the garage. The atmosphere is boring and uncomfortable, the music is lame and tedious, the beer is lukewarm and diluted, the wine is sour and nasty, the kebab and grilled vegetables are overcooked spoiled, the staff are rude and rude. So says [official website](http://caferechnoy.ru/art-cafe/) the art cafe that you will meet on the way. It's impossible not to visit, don't you agree? Of course, everything described above is a joke. Reviews of visitors and a high rating of the institution won't let you lie. Besides, a change of atmosphere never hurts anyone. The café is open Thursday to Sunday after 1pm.
The spring of St. David in Talež is located in a very picturesque place. Make a stop here on your way to Moscow for a walk before dinner and enjoy the silence and natural tranquillity.
End your journey in a cozy restaurant with a wooden interior and a crackling fireplace. Not hungry yet? Take a walk around the pond and the picturesque area around it. You'll find a huge selection of seafood dishes on the menu, from smoked sturgeon to Far Eastern oysters and Kamchatka crab. You should book a table in advance.
