    Tver province is famous for its fresh products and dishes, which Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin loved. The writer repeatedly stopped in Torzhok, the village of Bernovo, Staritsa. About Torzhok Pushkin mentioned in his letters to Sobolevsky: "...at your leisure dine At Pozharsky in Torzhok. Taste fried cutlets, "and travel lightly..."
    Here and you will taste the famous cutlets and walk on the places where the foot of the famous poet stepped. You will also glance in Bernovo (where often visited Alexander Sergeyevich), you will eat the well-known puffs of Wolf. You'll have a chance to taste not only Pushkin's dishes, because you'll visit the Seliger, where you'll taste the freshest fish soup and even catch fish for it, and at the end of the trip you'll visit the real Italian cheese dairy.
    Recommendations:
    • It is important to keep a social distance when visiting public places and to use personal protective equipment.
    • It is also worth remembering that when checking into hotels and visiting museums you may need a valid QR code or a negative PCR test for a maximum of 72 hours.
