Itinerary

  • Day 1 - Moya Zabava Factory-Museum and master class, guided tour of Ivanovo, Cheese Museum with tasting

    Arrival in Ivanovo at the railway station.

    Recommended trains: No. 739 from Moscow, train No. 45 from St. Petersburg.

    11:00 Meeting with the guide in the arrival hall at the loom.

    Guided tour of the railway station, an architectural monument of the avant-garde era. The Ivanovo railway station is unique: the seventh largest in Russia, the largest on the Northern Railway and the largest of the constructivist monument stations.

    Visit to the Moya Zabava factory-museum. Guided tour of the museum, a master class on painting New Year's toys.

    Welcome to the world where a fairy tale comes to life! You will visit the magical museum at the Christmas tree decorations factory, which produces original toys exclusively by hand.

    A multicolored and vibrant fantasy world will open up before you, embodied in original decorations for the Christmas tree — ceramic and wooden toys, painted glass and plastic decorations of the New Year's beauty.

    The pride of the production is cotton wool toys and jewelry made using revived ancient technologies. You will admire the large collection of Christmas tree decorations from our childhood — cotton, glass and cardboard toys made in the USSR, modern author's products, and you will be able to buy magical decorations made in a single copy.

    They will tell you a lot about making toys, and under the guidance of a master, you will create a small miracle with your own hands and take it with you.

    There are unique photo zones for beautiful and memorable photos for you.

    Lunch at a cafe.

    Sightseeing tour of the historical center of Ivanov.

    Despite its industrial status, Ivanovo is one of the most interesting art centers in Russia.

    Ivanovo merchants and patrons D.G. Burylin and Ya.Garelin made a huge contribution to the cultural and artistic life of the city.

    In recent years, the appearance of the city has changed dramatically: new squares and monuments have appeared, the embankment of the Uvod River has been improved, and the Orthodox chapel of the Feodorovskaya Icon of the Mother of God now adorns Ivanovskaya Revolution Square.

    Ivanovo and the monuments of the Ivanovo region are less well-known than other cities of the Golden Ring, and yet there are many architectural ensembles of different eras: about 400 historical and architectural monuments are under state protection.

    Architectural landmarks are represented by examples of the "modern" and "constructivism" styles created at the beginning of the last century — "ship house", "bullet house", "horseshoe house", "bird house".

    External inspection of the existing women's Holy Vvedensky Monastery.

    A walk along the embankment of the Uvod river.

    Visit to the Cheese Museum.

    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.

    The 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.

    Free time in the city center: shopping and entertainment centers.

    The trip left us with nothing but wonderful impressions. Svetlana, who accompanied our group, shared fascinating stories about her home region, including Shuya, Palekh, and Ivanovo. Not only did we learn a great deal, but she also took wonderful care of our small group. Thank you so much, dear Svetlana! I especially enjoyed the gatherings in Ponkino: they were fun, lively, and filled with delicious food!
