Irkutsk is a unique Siberian city on the banks of the Angara with a centuries-old history of merchant prosperity, the intersection of cultures and a strong character. Its wooden architecture, ancient temples and cozy embankments create a unique atmosphere, and the proximity of the great Baikal and the mountain ranges of the Eastern Sayan makes the city an excellent starting point for adventure.
Man-made sights of Irkutsk amaze with diversity: walks along the Lower Embankment of the Angara open a view of monuments and sculptures, including the famous Babr and the monument to Alexander III. In the historical center are concentrated the square of 50 years of October, the Decembrist Square and Ivanovo Square, Orthodox churches and monasteries - Voznesensky, Nikolo-Innokentyevsky and Kazan Church, as well as the functioning Cathedral Mosque and Catholic Cathedral. Museums and ethnographic complexes preserve the memory of merchant life and Siberian streets, and monuments to writers and cinema give the city a special cultural charm.
Natural pearls in the vicinity of Irkutsk beckon no less: the mountain resort of Shumak, the Big Sayan Range and the Tunkinsky Golts open routes for trekking, and the lakes Ekhoy, Agul and Khara-Nur create unforgettable landscapes. The Irkutsk Reservoir, the waterfalls of Hamar-Dabana and Kinzelyuksky Falls are places of power for nature lovers, and the warm Emerald Lakes and the rivers of the Angara, Selenga and Snow give the opportunity to relax by the water and photos for memory.
