The first part of the tour will be dedicated to the Kremlin, which will introduce you to Pskov's "Pompeii" - Dovmonot City, Vecheva Square, Trinity Cathedral, and you will also visit an observation deck overlooking two picturesque rivers.
In the second part, you will get acquainted with the city's sights, i.e. you will walk through the part of Pskov where the townspeople lived in the medieval city. Here you will learn in detail about the peculiarities of local architecture of the XV - XVI centuries, visit the ancient temples in which the ancient Pskov worshipped.
And then, you will see the substantial merchant chambers of the 17th century, which still make a vivid impression. You can imagine how local wealthy merchants lived in these mini-fortresses.

Приветствую! Меня зовут Дубинин Александр. Я историк и экскурсовод по древнерусским городам Пскову и Великому Новгороду.
Родился и прожил до 30 лет в Перми. Интерес к истории у меня появился где-то в пятом классе. С 9 класса, с 2000 по 2008 год, в летние месяцы участвовал в археологических раскопках.
Закончил Пермский государственный педагогический университет по специальности «Учитель истории». После окончания университета некоторое время преподавал в школе.
Со второй половины 2012 года стал заниматься проведением экскурсий. Периодическое посещение северной столицы дало возможность познакомиться со Старой Ладогой, Орешком и Новгородом. В начале 2016 года я переехал в Псков. Помимо Пскова провожу экскурсии по Великому Новгороду, Изборску, Печорам, Пушкинским горам.
Буду рад встретиться на экскурсиях.
Путешествуйте и познавайте мир!
