Vtuzgorodok. Town for students and intellectuals
From 1 500₽ per person
Description
Type: Single-day activity
Duration: 3 hours
* Vtuzgorodok is a Soviet microdistrict of Yekaterinburg, which arose due to the construction of the country's first campus of a higher technical educational institution. During the twentieth century, several universities, a branch of the Academy of Sciences, research institutes, technical schools and colleges appeared here. But that's not all!
"The bathhouse is like a theater"
During the tour, we get acquainted with all the styles in the architecture of the city in the twentieth century. On our way there will be the All-Holy Church - the only pre-Soviet building in the district. Constructivism, Art Deco, Stalinism, Soviet modernism and Kaprom, for all their dissimilarity, form a harmonious appearance of Vtuzgorodok. Along the way we will see the famous bathhouse with 3 columns, which may have caused a radical change of tastes in architecture and the appearance of "Khrushchev".
Garden City
Walking around the city is especially pleasant from spring to autumn, when the boulevards, squares and courtyards are green and filled with birds. We will definitely visit the arboretum, but not only to be surprised by the variety of plants, but also to find out how the experimental station located here changed the appearance of Soviet Sverdlovsk. Let's talk about the introducers and ways of greening the streets of the city.
There is also a "hidden garden" on the route - a place that not many locals know about. Here we will get acquainted with the history of small rivers and make sure that even hidden in a pipe they continue to influence the appearance of the city.
The Republic and its citizens
The route ends in the "Lodygin Republic" - a quarter associated with the names of great scientists and designers of the twentieth century. Here we will immerse ourselves in the world of contemporary art, and also find out why the locals are happy with artists and tourists. We will see samples of low-rise buildings, as well as amazing cottages of the mid-twentieth century. Let's talk about the Center of Modern Drama and the Kolyada Theater.

Organizer
Екбгуляем - сообщество экскурсоводов в Екатеринбурге, предлагающих авторские экскурсии по разным локациям города и Урала. Наша миссия: помогать понять, за что можно город любить.
Сообщество объединилось в 2019 году. Участники Екбгуляем - люди с богатым жизненным опытом, представители разных профессий (журналисты, дизайнеры, преподаватели, культурные проектировщики и т.д.), часть экскурсоводов имеют степень кандидатов наук.
Мы работаем с индивидуальными туристами, жителями города, а также готовы проводить групповые экскурсии для корпоративных заказчиков.
Мы готовим каждую экскурсию под конкретного заказчика и готовы браться за новые темы и направления. Каждая экскурсия - это результат серьёзной исследовательской работы в архивах, сбор личных историй (true story), подборки уникальных документов и фотографий.
