The journey to the Homeland of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky will go like clockwork!

A visit to the Varangian Druzhina tourist complex, where the history of the Middle Ages comes to life, will add to the impressions.

Udmurtia is the birthplace of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, the most performed composer in the world.

It was here that he felt a passion for music, learned to play the piano and wrote his first melodies – and all this during the first 8 years of his life in a house with a mezzanine on the banks of the Votkinsky Pond.

Here, in the Museum – Estate of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, the atmosphere of a noble manor from the middle of the 19th century has been carefully preserved, with numerous buildings and a shady lime garden.

And the manor house is so habitable and warm that it seems the owners have just left the room. Here is the crack on the window – Petya Tchaikovsky smashed it, emotionally tapping the music playing in his head with his finger.

Traveling here is a real time machine. The excursions here are theatrical and artistic, allowing you to get to know both the Tchaikovsky family and that time well.

And you will see: for Tchaikovsky it was a time of inspiration, happiness and love, and they can still be felt in Votkinsk. And you will experience these feelings yourself.

10:00 a.m. Tourist military-historical complex "Varangian squad", which was founded and is being developed by spouses Nikolai and Olga Sergeev. The spirit of the Middle Ages reigns here.

It is no coincidence that it is in the "Varangian Squad", near its impregnable walls, that the large-scale All-Russian festival of military historical reconstruction "Rus Druzhinnaya" takes place every year.

Here you will get acquainted with the customs and traditions of the Middle Ages and taste traditional Russian dishes, which are now almost forgotten.

12:00 The city of Votkinsk. Theatrical tour of the Tchaikovsky Museum-estate "Sweet Memories".

With the owner of the estate, Alexandra Andreevna Tchaikovsky, we will walk through the rooms of the master's house, adopt the basics of 19th-century etiquette, and get acquainted with the customs of hospitality in the Tchaikovsky family.
