Elabuga - city-museum in the open air

The city of Elabuga (215 km from Kazan) is an ancient and beautiful city, an open-air museum. Provincial merchant - he still keeps a kind of aura of the past life of millionaire merchants of the XVII-XIX centuries! You will plunge into the atmosphere of the way of life, when on the streets between the mansions, as if competing with each other – I am more beautiful, I am not! – a carriage passes, and in it sits a firm, strong-willed merchant with his whole family – after all, the word merchant’s long-awaited – hold! And what educational places – the “devil” settlement of the X-XIII centuries, the museum and monument to the citizen, the first hussar-girl Nadezhda Durova, the family house and museum of the famous artist Ivan Shishkin, the museum and grave of the silver age poet – Marina Tsvetaeva, the museum of the doctor and a wonderful history – where did this expression “under the fly” come from?! and much more, much interesting and unprecedented, rare and unknown...

A great dinner awaits you, as a reward for your curiosity – you are going to be hungry! The tour is designed for 13 hours.
