Leo Tolstoy and Tula

Find out about a great writer what you won’t find in a museum estate. This walking tour is your key to understanding the life and soul of Lev Nikolayevich through places where he was just a person.

You will be immersed in the world of living Tolstoy. You will see Tula not as a background, but as a co-author of his fate and works.

You'll open:

- Tulu secular: Mansions and living rooms where life was boiling, which became the basis for the scenes of War and Peace.
Tula is mundane: the itineraries of his day-to-day affairs and the “walking among the people” that fueled his ideas.
- Tolstoy-man: Hear private stories and little-known facts revealing his contradictory nature.

How will you feel and know?

Intrigue from contact with the personal life of the writer.
Amazing how urban experiences turned into literary masterpieces.
A deep understanding of the genius’s connection to the place he called his “nearest city.”

You will see not just memorable addresses, but live scenery of his life: from noble mansions to quiet alleys that keep the memory of his steps.

Walk through the Tula that Tolstoy knew and loved. Find out the stories the city keeps just for a closer look.
