Duration: 3 hours

• Time: Anytime you like.
• Starting place: it is better to meet in the city center (your hotel, Kirova Square, 130th quarter)

Usually on a walking tour we have time to see:

Angara Embankment (Square of 3 Churches, Monument to Cossacks, Moscow Gate)
We look at the place where Irkutsk was founded, understand why Buddhist symbols are on Orthodox churches, remember why the Cossacks went to Siberia and what the sable is to blame for.

Walk through Kirov Square along Lenin Street to the 130th quarter.

We look at the temple where Kolchak got married, we understand how Yaroslav Hasek got to Irkutsk, on what Irkutsk merchants spent money.

Looking into the "trees" neighborhoods

We will talk about whether it is easy to live in the monument and why UNESCO wants to make the center of Irkutsk a world heritage site. Let's read the story from the patterns on the casings.

We'll finish the tour in the 130th block.

I will show you the most beautiful church in Siberia according to European architects. Let’s talk about the oligarchs of the 18th-19th century, hard labor Siberia and the modern “well-being” of the city of Irkutsk.

This is just a small list of topics and stories that we can touch on.
