In Tyumen you will find promenades among unique examples of wooden architecture, the greatness of architectural ensembles, churches, immersion in the healing waters of thermal springs and the opportunity to pass through «the Gates of Siberia», opening immense spaces for the European part of the country. All discoverers paved the way to the East from here, from Ermak and Vitus Bering to geologists and oilmen.

Acquaintance with Tobolsk, the ancient capital of Siberia, the «Father of Siberian Cities», will make a special impression. In the XVIII century Tobolsk was patronized by the Emperor Peter the Great. The Siberian city was put on a par with Moscow and St. Petersburg. Tobolsk was the centre of the largest province in Russia, stretching from the Urals to the Pacific Ocean. Walking through the territory of the white stone Kremlin, remember — the history of the Russian Empire was made here.

Siberia is as bright and different as the peoples living here. Therefore, the kitchen is absolutely amazing. Dishes in the spirit of the peoples of the North, a subtle reinterpretation of the traditional Russian treats for the noble and merchant table, a scattering of flavors and aromas from the Bukharians, the Siberian Tatars and other nationalities. Taste Siberia in conceptual restaurants and ancient manors. And also take part in the pancake baking event in the city of Yalutorovsk that got into the Russian Book of Records.

There is everything in the Tyumen region, and even the sea! The hot springs are the heirs of the West Siberian ancient Sea, which occupied almost the entire territory of the region 70 million years ago. Geothermal water gushing from the Siberian depths has been saturated with microelements useful for health. Today the region is considered «The capital of thermal waters».
