Tyumen: from a drilling rig to a thermal oasis

5 more

Discover Siberia from an unexpected side! You will find the history of the first Russian city beyond the Urals — from wooden architecture to a futuristic embankment, and thermal springs where oil seekers found healing water. Then there is an immersion into the power of Tobolsk: the grand Kremlin on a cliff and the virtual reality of the country's largest petrochemical complex.

Become an oilman for a day: climb a real drilling rig, learn the secrets of "black gold" and receive a certificate by "washing" with warm oil. And after that, you will warm up in the outdoor mineral pools and try the ear with oil.
