Tula Nevsky prospect

This is not just a walk, but a real immersion in the five-century chronicle of the city, where every stone breathes history. Our excursion is a kaleidoscope of epochs: the luxury of merchant mansions coexists with the ascetic beauty of Soviet buildings, and the history of the trading empire is intertwined with the bohemian life of the theater avenue and the sports glory of the city.

What you will see and feel:

- The emotions of the discoverer: You will pass the street where Gogol and Lermontov walked, where Zhukovsky wrote down his impressions of Tula in his diary. You will feel like a contemporary of brilliant noble balls in the Hall of Columns and hear echoes of literati disputes in the house where Leo Tolstoy himself rehearsed.

Discoveries that change the view of the city: You will learn how the modest Krapivenskaya road of the XVII century turned into the Kiev street, where trade was boiling and showcases were sparkling. We will show “Drunk Corner”, where the life of ordinary people boiled.

Architectural Symphony and Memory of the War: You will appreciate the elegant modernity of apartment houses and the strict classicism of the Presence Places. You will see the legendary "White House" (House of Soviets) - a subject of pride and controversy. We will pass by monuments telling about the heroic defense of Tula in 1941.

Unexpected facts and dramatic stories: You'll hear about the grandiose construction projects that made whole neighborhoods demolished and the people who tried to resist it. You will find out where the inventor of chromatic harmonics lived and how the monastery cemeteries were found in the city center.

- Theatrical and sports soul of the prospect: You will visit the cradle of the Tula stage, learn the history of the first electric theater, how the main street led to the Arsenal stadium, becoming a path for thousands of fans and a symbol of the sports spirit of the city.

In the finale of the trip, your eyes will rush to the greenery of the Central Park of Culture and Recreation named after P.P. Belousov. We will tell you how thanks to the foresight of the sanitary doctor Belousov, “light cities” were created on the site of landfills and wards - one of the largest man-made parks in Europe.
