Itinerary

  • Day 1 - Arkhangelsk and the "Small Korels"

    Arrival in Arkhangelsk. Independent check-in at the hotel. Placing things in the hotel's luggage room.

    10:45 Meeting with the guide in the hotel lobby.

    11:00 Sightseeing bus tour "Russia's first port" is an introduction to the history of Arkhangelsk and its main attractions.

    The acquaintance with the city begins at the cape with the mysterious name "Pur-Navolok". A story about the place where Arkhangelsk was founded, and about Gostiny Dvory, an architectural monument of the 17th century with a majestic tower and powerful walls, as if transported back in time and telling that Arkhangelsk was once a city where trade with foreign merchants was concentrated, and the city that became the first commercial seaport in Russia.

    The majestic Severnaya Dvina River and the embankment stretching along it are a favorite place for strolling by both Archangel City residents and visitors.

    The monument to Peter I and the seal-savior, the Assumption Church and the Green gazebo – the embankment is good both on summer days and in winter, when a chain of lanterns crosses the ice-bound Northern Dvina.

    From the embankment of the Northern Dvina, a panorama opens onto the island part of Arkhangelsk – Solombala Island, where, by decree of Peter the Great, the first state shipyard was laid down and the first merchant ship was launched.

    Lunch at a cafe.

    The excellent tour “Arkhangelsk – Gateway to the Arctic” was a wonderful opportunity to get to know the city of Arkhangelsk. Everything was perfectly organized, our driver, Herman, was excellent, and our guide, Marina, from the host company, was truly outstanding. She’s a real professional with a pleasant voice, whose love for her homeland shines through her deep knowledge of the history of Arkhangelsk and Pomorye. Thanks to Marina’s stories, my husband and I fell in love with this region, and we highly recommend everyone to visit it.
