Entertainment, excursions and attractions of Tomsk

Remarkable Tomsk preserved examples of Russian architectural architecture, modernism (both in wood and in stone), Siberian baroque and classicism. At the same time, ancient architectural complexes are recognized as rare even at the international level.

So, the well-known European magazine Forbes took the monuments of Tomsk modern to the number of six Russian sights, doomed to an early disappearance. Tomichi does not share the pessimism of foreign journalists and continues to organize numerous excursions to their rare places.

Among the architectural monuments stand out as still working buildings, and already classified as a museum exhibit. For example, in the building of Tomsk State University students continue to study, despite the fact that it is the embodiment of terry classicism in architecture. But the Tomsk Museum of Wooden Architecture is already carefully guarded by the city administration as a unique cultural asset of the modernist style.

University Grove

But not only architecture is red Tomsk. The already mentioned TSU is closely adjoined by the University Grove, which is part of a whole university historical and architectural complex.

Epiphany Cathedral, built in 1773 (according to other sources in 1784), is the oldest building in the Tomsk region. It was in this temple in 1804 that the Russian Emperor Alexander I issued a decree establishing the Tomsk province. Almost at the same time, the chapel of the Iberian Icon of the Mother of God was erected.

Architecture of Tomsk

Tomsk is famous for its unique wooden architecture. In the city there were preserved wooden houses of the late 19th and early 20th centuries in the style of classicism and baroque, taking into account the peculiarities of the architecture of the Russian North. We recommend to look at the ensemble of wooden buildings on Tatar Street, the so-called "House with Dragons" in the style of Norwegian architecture and "The House with Firebirds." Visit the Tomsk Museum of Wooden Architecture.

By the way, Lydia Delectorskaya lived in one of the Tomsk wooden manors (on Kuznetsova Street) - in the future the companion and model of Henri Matisse.

You can see the panorama of Tomsk from the highest point of the city - the former fire-tower, where you can go up from the historical museum, or from the city bridges, for example, "The Bathing Path". A beautiful view opens from the Blue Cliff.

Talovsky bowls

Talovsky bowls are one of the most unique natural monuments in the area, located 40 kilometers from Tomsk. This place is notable for its powerful sources, saturated with salts. The water temperature is +5 degrees at any time of the year. The outlets of the springs formed limestone basins in the form of bowls.

Developments

Day of the city in Tomsk is celebrated on June 7, although the date of its foundation is October 7, 1604. The fact is that this holiday is postponed because of the cold weather in the autumn. On this day the main street of the city is for pedestrians only, there are various concerts with traditional fireworks in the evening.

Every year in June the Tomsk carnival is held along the central streets of the city, which has been held since 2006. The festival attracts participants from all over the region. And in September, "Day off hikes" marks the Day of Tourism. Photo by Tomsk (37)
