Meet dinosaurs in Kirov, cook echpochmak in Kazan and go on a trip with Pinocchio in Samara – experts from the tutu travel service told socialbites.ca what to do on a long weekend in different cities of Russia.
“Kazan is a universal travel destination. It will be fun to prepare echpochmak with young children at a master class in the Tugan Avlym complex and learn the history of Kazan cats on pedestrian Bauman Street; with older children, go to the Kremlin and the rare Museum of Fine Arts. engravings, monuments of ancient Russian icon painting and works by Shishkin, Feshin, as well as Russian avant-garde artists are stored. And, of course, Kazan is loved by all fans of gastronomy: in fashionable bistros you can find Tatar kazylyk, chak-chak and other local dishes,” the experts began.
They also recommended going to Pyatigorsk, since the weather is sunny in March.
“While active tourists are impressed by mountain walks in the picturesque surroundings, spa fans are also impressed by mud therapy. An obligatory element of the program for both older and younger travelers are Lermontov’s places: the cave next to which the poet loved to walk, the house where he spent the last years of his life and the place of the famous duel. “Excellent views open from the observation deck on the slope of Maşuk “Gate of Love”, you should definitely make a wish there,” they said.
According to them, another idea for a short trip is Samara.
“A walk in the historical center of the city, Stalin’s bunker and Helicopter observation deck if you can sign up for the tour.” Adults and older children will be interested in the Art Nouveau Museum, the only museum in Russia dedicated to this style in architecture, painting and fashion. With young children, it is worth checking out the Literary Museum, the property of Alexei Tolstoy’s family (closed March 8). Experts explained that “Adventure with Pinocchio” excursions, quests and master classes are held here.
As a result, they noted the Rostov and Kirov regions.
“In Kirov it is worth checking out the Vyatka Museum of Paleontology. On March 8, the museum will host tours for women scientists. In Rostov-on-Don, parents will definitely enjoy the restaurants and wine bars, and children will enjoy the One Sky Ferris Wheel, which is considered one of the highest in Russia. Senior students in the Rostov region can be unobtrusively introduced to reading “The Quiet Don” by going to Sholokhov’s hometown in the village of Veshenskaya and Novocherkassk, called the capital of the Don Cossacks.
