The Leningrad Region is one of the most interesting and culturally and historically rich regions in Russia. It is here that we can see ancient fortresses and temples, luxurious manors and palace ensembles, monasteries founded during the reign of Ivan the Terrible, as well as museums, where you can learn interesting facts about historical personalities.
We'll start sightseeing from Volkhov: we'll see the ancient churches and fortress walls, walk near the mounds, where, according to legend, the Prophetic Oleg is buried. After that we'll head to Tikhvin to visit the museum of Rimsky-Korsakov and get acquainted with the local shrines. On the third day we are going to visit Maryino manor and visit Tsarskoye Selo.
