Tula Museums and Attractions

The day will begin with a visit to a rather unusual museum. Harmony is one of the symbols of Tula. And every instrument that you see has its own unique history. You will get the most impressions if you order a musical tour in advance (http://www.harmonic-museum.ru/). The museum isn't open on Mondays.

A small cozy gingerbread house in the Tula Kremlin - at the same time a souvenir shop, a pastry shop and a museum. Here you can learn about the history of the gingerbread industry. To make a printed gingerbread with your own hands, you should make an appointment for an interactive tour by phone: +7(930) 791-44-42.

We will visit the oldest structure in the city. In 1509 on the place of the fortress a wooden stockaded town with cannons and squeakers was founded. The Stone Kremlin was erected in 1520 and during 500 years of its existence it has experienced many historical events. False Dmitry I lived here for 2 weeks. And a couple of years later the leaders of the peasant uprising were hiding in the Kremlin. You can visit the Kremlin Museum and learn more about the history of the ancient fortress. You will see artifacts from the archeological excavations and a model of the Kremlin of the XVII century. The museum offers interactive quests and excursions. The last Tuesday of the month is a health day.

The cathedral is called the main attraction of the Tula Kremlin. It is executed in unusual for temples style of Russian baroque. Walls and vaults of the cathedral were painted by Yaroslavl masters. The first wooden church appeared here in 1626 and was rebuilt into a stone church only in 1762. The bell tower appeared later, in 1776. In 1778, in the lower tier of the bell tower a warm Temple of Tikhon of Amafunt was built.

Cozy hinkala in the heart of Tula. Besides khinkali there are shish kebab, khachapuri, soups and snacks in the menu.

The opening of a branch of the State Historical Museum in Tula was timed to coincide with the celebration of the 500th anniversary of the Tula Kremlin. The museum is located in the mansion Belolipetskie, one of the most beautiful historical buildings in the city. In 1872 M.G. Belolipetskiy placed a factory "Tula Gingerbread" in the mansion. On the ground floor there was a gingerbread shop. On the second floor there were living rooms and a small pastry shop. The museum is planning to organize film screenings and lectures. You can buy a ticket for the excursion here. Tuesday's a day off.

A pedestrian street in the center of Tula is part of the Museum Quarter and the oldest street in the city. Almost all preserved buildings have historical value. Most of the houses were owned by local burghers and merchants.

The Kazan embankment appeared in 1714, when the construction of the Tula Arms Works began by decree of Peter the Great. In 1837 the embankment became an extension of Kremlin Garden. Now Kazanskaya embankment is a modern urban space, loved both by adults and children.

The Iskra Urban Space is located in the historical part of Tula. It is a very pleasant place to walk in the evening. Rental of dobbies is working. Many cafes, restaurants and showrooms are open. Rental of scooters is available. In the evenings, the illumination turns on. In winter, there are thematic areas where you can take beautiful photos.

Cozy restaurant in the city center. The menu is truly delicious pizza and pasta.

It's time to go back to the hotel.
