History of Russian Siberia

Which Siberian city offers a real palace? Only in Tobolsk! It was built here in 18th century by the order of the Empress Catherine the Great and became a center of voivods' and later provincial administration. Today in the three-storey palace you can see the majestic Throne Hall, the study of the scientist Dmitry Mendeleev, "Ershov living room" and a gymnasium.

The most horrible place in the city. Until 1989, it was one of Russia's strictest prisons, where convicts were sent to hard labor and into exile. Now it is a museum, where you can get acquainted with the life of prisoners of the pre-revolutionary and Soviet periods, go down into the gloomy dungeon, which preserves the oppressive atmosphere of confinement.
There is a hostel "Prisoner" nearby for those who want to spend a night in a real prison atmosphere and tickle their nerves with ghost stories. ⠀

One of the oldest Siberian crafts is artistic bone carving. Local craftsmen have reached such heights in this business that their works received gold medals at international exhibitions in Paris and Brussels, and the factory itself (by the way, the only one in Russia) received the "Badge of Honor" order. In addition to the production workshops, there is a museum where you can trace the history of the company from the beginning of the 20th century to the present day, and a souvenir shop, where you are sure to look for a nice thing to remember it with.

A place with a pleasant atmosphere, good service and a balanced menu: from the classics of European cuisine to vegan dishes. An excellent choice for those who don't want to betray their European gastronomic habits.

Immerse yourself in the atmosphere of a Russian fairy tale and feel the breadth of soul of the Siberian people! This impressive place on the bank of the Irtysh River is a reconstruction of the Siberian fortress of the times of Siberia conquest by Ermak Cossacks. There is a tavern, a hotel, a contact zoo, a gazebo with barbecues, a Russian bathhouse, a children's playground with life-size Zmey Gorynych - this must be how the Siberian Disneyland should look like.

Abalaksky monastery stands on a high bank of the Irtysh River, which offers a view of the distances stretching to Tobolsk. The oldest building, the Znamensky Cathedral, was erected here more than 300 years ago. Unfortunately, time has not spared the monastery: only some of the largest stone buildings have survived to this day. Nevertheless, Abalaksky monastery is functioning and since 1990s it has renewed its monastic life.
