Let's start our journey with beautiful views. Not far from the center of Kolomna there is a confluence of two rivers: the Moscow River and the Oka. There is no identification mark or viewing platform on the arrow, but you can go a little further to the bridge over the Oka river. A picturesque landscape opens up from this bridge.

Коломенская пастила
History Museum
Open Details
An obligatory place to visit in Kolomna is the Museum of Pastila. Kolomna Pastille is considered a part of Russian national cuisine. Its uniqueness lies in the fact that the first recipe for pastila was published back in 1796 and since then the cooking process has not changed. We will learn about other secrets of production of this sweet in the museum, where the technology of production is carefully preserved. It is better to book a place in advance in the excursion and at the master class, and it is possible to do it on site. They are held in a theatrical format, which will not leave anyone indifferent.
While you are waiting for the excursion we advise you to stop in a cafe and taste the Kolomna Pastille.

After a fascinating tour we will take a walk around Kolomna. The history of the city begins in 1177, Kolomna is considered to be one of the oldest cities in the Moscow region.
There are preserved wooden houses, which we will see when we walk from the museum of pastel to the Moskva River embankment. There's a monument to the Vodovoz. It is on this place that water carriers took water and carried it around the city until 1902, when a water supply system was installed in Kolomna.
Next to the monument is a scale of flood water levels. The extreme flood level of the Moskva River is marked on it.
