Itinerary

  • Day 1 - Ulyanovsk city tour. Museum of urban life. The Highest Volga Crown

    Carnival meeting at the railway station.

    10:00 a.m. "Where there's porridge, there's ours" – breakfast.

    10:30-12:30 Sightseeing bus tour of Ulyanovsk.

    Ulyanovsk has a secret – it has a soul – it is old Simbirsk, which lives in the hearts of residents and peeks behind the facades of buildings made of glass and concrete, on the old streets of the city center – behind the spreading poplars.

    On the tour, you will drive through the modern streets and the historical center of the city, get acquainted with the story of St. Andrew the Blessed (Ogorodnikov), the patron saint of the city of Simbirsk, famous for the Russian Orthodox Church of the saint, whose relics are now in the walls of the temple, and a memorial plaque is now installed at the burial site.

    Visit to the Spaso-Voznesensky Cathedral.

    Then the path will lead you to Moskovskaya Street, now Lenin Street, where you will be able to forget about modernity for a while, surrounded by elegant merchant mansions and charming courtyards that remain almost the same as they were two centuries ago.

    12:30-14:00 Let's drive away the blizzard and frost, melt the snow with fun games, jokes and jokes at the museum-estate of urban life "Simbirsk of the late XIX – early XX centuries."

    Visiting such a place is a great way to immerse yourself in history and imagine how the townspeople used to live.

    The atmosphere of the late 19th century urban estate comes to life thanks to the recreated interiors, represented by furniture, dishes, clothes and outbuildings: a summer kitchen, a bathhouse and a carriage house. All this makes the exposition incredibly realistic and memorable.

    Guests will get acquainted with the traditions of the townspeople, "Maslenitsa fun" games, tea drinking from an old samovar with traditional Russian treats.

    14:30-15:30 Lunch in Simbirsk traditions. You will taste dishes from the Simbirsk menu from the restaurant's brand chef.

    Volga residents have always been very fond of fish dishes, which were always present during festive feasts. You will be able to taste one of the most popular.

    Check-in at the hotel.

    16:30-18:00 Walking tour "Four centuries of the Volga Crown".

    You will learn the secrets and legend of the city of Seven Winds, stroll along the highest Volga Crown, from which the other shore is not visible, visit the historical sites of Simbirsk and take a selfie with the largest letter E in Ulyanovsk!

    Free time.
