Itinerary

  • Day 1 - Ivanovo city sightseeing tour: museums of the Soviet automobile industry and cheese

    11:00 Meeting with a guide in Ivanovo at the railway station at the loom. The sign "Journey for new tastes and impressions".

    A short excursion into the history of the railway station. In 1932, a train station was built in Ivanovo for passenger traffic, which was ten times higher than the existing one. And it was not just a railway station, but the first Soviet railway station, a railway station for all stations.

    The temple of progress, science and victory of the proletariat. Naturally, this station was built in the architectural style of constructivism.

    Boarding the bus (free seating).

    Sightseeing bus tour of the city.

    Ivanovo is a city of unique metaphor houses, the most revolutionary history, the birthplace of Russia's "main" fashion designer Slava Zaitsev and the father of Russian chanson Arkady Severny, the youngest and most colorful city of the Golden Ring of Russia!

    Ivanovo is the third most important center of the 1917 revolution after St. Petersburg and Moscow, and it is not for nothing that many bold and provocative monuments of Soviet urban architecture are concentrated here.

    We will see a Ship House, a Bird House and a Bullet House, a two-colored church, the deceptively ancient Vvedensky Monastery, the famous Shchudrov tent of the 17th century and the most unusual and even bold monument to Arkady Severny (the legend of Soviet chanson).

    The architectural diversity of Ivanovo streets covers almost all styles, from Baroque to Art Nouveau.

    Lunch at the restaurant.

    Excursion to the Museum of the Soviet Automobile Industry.

    The cars of such legendary factories as GAZ, ZIL, ZIS, ZIM, VAZ are presented here. All the exhibits were kindly provided by private collectors.

    The museum's exposition is a vivid expression of love for four–wheeled human friends and a great marketing ploy.

    Would you like to immerse yourself in the world of exquisite flavors and unique flavors of cheeses? Then you should definitely visit the Cheese Museum and Cheese Exchange.

    Here, every visitor will be able to enjoy fine cheeses and find their "pet". There will definitely be no problems with this!

    Come to our Cheese Museum and stay on the wave of exquisite flavors!

    Here you will learn about cheese and the history of its origin. This is a place where legends are made up, myths are debunked and new chapters of the chronicle of cheese are written. Here you will be given a taste of legendary varieties and completely new flavors of cheese.

    Guided tour "The history of cheese on your plate" (with tasting).

    As part of this tour, you will plunge into the history of the creation of such an ancient product as cheese. You will learn about all the significant milestones in the development of the production and consumption culture of this product in the world and in our country, as well as get acquainted with the technology of cheese production.

    In addition, our tour guide will tell you a lot of interesting facts and clearly explain everything about the exhibits of our cheese museum.

    And after the tour part, a tasting will be waiting for you! On a cheese plate, you will taste several varieties of cheese (from soft to hard), and the process itself will be accompanied by a story from our side about the products being tasted.

    During the tasting, you will learn a lot of useful and "delicious" information about how a cheese plate is made for tasting and which cheese goes better with which.
