Introduction

An amazing three-day trip into the heart of Siberian culture and history, in the mystical Tomsk, one of Russia's oldest towns. This itinerary offers unforgettable experiences, from traditional architecture to atmospheric bars and the pulsating vibe of a university town.

Day 1 - Discovering Delightful Tomsk

As you step off the plane, the brisk Siberian air will wake you right up! First thing, check into your accommodations and make yourself at home. What's next, you ask? Let's plunge straight into Siberian architecture at Resurrection Hill. Alongside offering a picturesque panorama of the city, you'll find quaint wooden houses with lace-like carvings on the doors and windows. Did you know Tomsk is often referred to as the city of 'wooden lace'? After a hearty lunch, head towards Tomsk University - the second oldest in Siberia. Now, isn't that something? If you're wondering how to beat the chill, head over to the Firebird, a traditional Russian Thermae. Conclude your day at a local restaurant, savoring their famous delicacies - do not miss the Siberian dumplings!

Day 2 - Trudging Through Tomsk's Treasures

The Museum of Slavic Mythology is our first spot for today. You'll discover Slavic folklore and mythology that's both fascinating and eerie. Can you believe some of these tales go back centuries? After engrossing ourselves in tales of mystery and magic, it's time to visit the mysterious Ghost City. Once a thriving settlement, its abandoned wooden houses now stand silent, gradually being taken over by the creeping forest. Makes you think, doesn't it, how time can change things? As dusk falls, heated Siberian tea by a bonfire will keep the chill at bay as you listen to tales of the city's origin from the locals.

Day 3 - Savoring Siberian Sights One Last Time

Let's kickstart our final day in Tomsk with a quick visit to the Tomsk Art Gallery. The artistry and craftsmanship displayed by local artists will astonish you. Can you sense their passion resonating in their work? After this, take a leisurely stroll in Lagerny Garden, which stands as a testament to Siberian flora's resilience against the cold. Conclude your visit to Tomsk with a trip to the Tomsk Planetarium, a tribute to Russia's space exploits. As you bid adieu to the city, does it leave a lasting imprint on your heart?
