* The tour immerses you in the epochs of Russia. You will learn about the formation of Petrovskaya Sloboda and Peter the Great in the 18th century, the influence of the Swedes and the Dutch on the city, see Petrozavodsk of the Catherine era and provincial motifs of the 19th century, pre—revolutionary Petrozavodsk and the upheavals of the revolutions and the great world wars of the 20th century, and also understand the modern, dynamic and rapidly developing, but beautiful and captivating with its provinciality city - our favorite Petrozavodsk. The tour route: - We start from the city's embankment, a monument to the founder of Petrozavodsk, Peter the Great. - We will continue our acquaintance with the Peter the Great era on Kirov Square, from where we will go to the cannons by the Lososinka River and visit the place where the first blast furnaces were laid. - The old urban area of "Zareka" with beautiful stone 2-3-storey buildings and Borodinsky Park. - Cathedral of Petrozavodsk - Alexander Nevsky Avenue, Holy Cross Cathedral and the main city church of Alexander Nevsky. It is the site of the former Alexander Factories and the Onega Tractor Plant, and now it is a creative cluster with the largest monument-installation to Skis and the transformer tractor-MOSQUITO. - The Governor's Park with a monument to Derzhavin and a small exhibition. - Eternal Flame, the most stately avenue in the city - Karl Marx and the monument to Charles Gascoigne. - Kirov Avenue, Lenin Avenue and the monument to Robert Rozhdestvensky. - We'll finish at the Severnaya Hotel. We suggest exploring the Petrozavodsk embankment on your own after the tour - just in time for sunset :)
