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".
The story of the place where Arkhangelsk and Gostiny Dvory were founded is an architectural monument of the 17th century with a majestic tower and powerful walls that seem to be transported back in time and tell us that Arkhangelsk was once a city where trade with foreign merchants was concentrated and the city became the first commercial seaport in Russia.
The majestic Severnaya Dvina River and the embankment stretching along it are a favorite place for strolling, both residents of Arkhangelsk and visitors to the city.
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.
