What to see in Tobolsk

Tobolsk is one of the oldest and most colorful cities of Siberia, a historical pearl on the banks of the Irtysh. Its uniqueness in the combination of stone cathedrals, wooden churches and picturesque old quarters creates a special atmosphere: there are centuries-old layers of history, trade traditions and spiritual heritage. A walk in Tobolsk gives a feeling of returning to the past and at the same time discovering the modern cultural space.

Manufactures and facilities

Man-made sights of the city amaze with diversity: The Tobolsk Kremlin with the majestic Sophia Cathedral, the Palace of the Viceroy and the fortress towers – Pavlinskaya, North and East – form the historical core. Numerous churches have been preserved in the city, including Zacharias and Elizabeth (1752), the Exaltation of the Cross, the Transfiguration and the Spassky (a monument of wooden architecture of the XVII century), the Pokrovsky Winter Cathedral and a number of other parish churches. A special place is occupied by architectural and memorial objects: Prison Castle, Ioanno-Vvedensky Women's Monastery, Abalak Monastery nearby, Tobolsk Cathedral Mosque, monuments to Peter Ershov, heroes of fairy tales and historical figures, as well as the Bazaar Square and cozy city squares.

Natural attractions and places

Natural attractions complement the urban palette: the squares of Ershov and Robinson Crusoe, the Yermak Garden and the Irtysh embankment give calm walks in the center. In the vicinity there are scattered picturesque landscapes - forests, hills of Podgor district and the famous Lake Svetloye with a large water area, located a few kilometers from the city. These places are ideal for picnics, photo walks and short trips to nature, maintaining a balance between the history and ecology of the region.
