    We will get acquainted with the 19th-century palace, which belonged to the famous philanthropist Grigory Ryumin, now the Zhalostin Art Museum.

    Nearby there is a monument to the brave defender of Russia, Yevpaty Kolovrat, guarding the main square of the city, named after Lenin.

    The continuation of our route through Ryazan, the capital of the New Year, will be a walking tour along the Ryazan version of Arbat — Pochtovaya Street and Sobornaya Street.

    These places are full of vivid stories of the past, among which the building of the first city cinema and the house of the founder of the world-famous cosmetics empire Maximilian Faktorovich deserve special attention. His life and work have become an example of success and inspiration for many generations.

    But the highlight of our walk is definitely a visit to the Ryazan Kremlin, which is stunning in its scale and history.

    Located on a steep bank, where the Lybed River flows into the Trubezh River, this symbolic center attracts the gaze of travelers with high fortress walls and a massive earthen rampart offering a charming view of the surrounding area.

    An external inspection of the beautiful Assumption Cathedral, erected by the great national architect Yakov Bukhvostov, is particularly admirable.

    This temple is a real pearl of Russian art of the 17th century, made in the style of "Naryshkin Baroque", impresses with exquisite decoration and delightful sharp stone patterns.

    And may the new year fill our city with special light and warmth, and our tour will leave vivid impressions and memories of staying in the most beautiful city in the country — the ancient and hospitable Ryazan!

    Visit to the Museum of the History of Ryazan Lollipop (with a master class).

    In the Museum, you will immerse yourself in a fabulous atmosphere with New Year's motifs. It is here, in a unique setting, that you will discover the secrets of the famous sugar sweet, which is closely related to the fate of the Ryazan region.

    You will learn intriguing facts about the development of sugar production in Russia and allow yourself to experience the real pleasure of stories full of stories of sweet wonder.

    After all, it was here, on the Ryazan land, that everyone's favorite sugar cockerel appeared on a stick, created by entrepreneur Nikolai Petrovich Shishkov, a famous figure of his time. This product has become a symbol of the domestic confectionery industry.

    Do you know why the cockerel shape has become iconic for Ryazan lollipop? The answer to this and many other questions awaits you inside the museum.

    But the most interesting part starts next — at a special lollipop painting workshop. Everyone will be able to paint it in the best traditions of the Sakharov workers of the Ryazan province.

    This tour will turn into a real culinary extravaganza inspired by the native Russian taste and the wonderful mood of the winter holidays.
