Sights Museums Sightseeing tours Stories, routes and tips from tourists Where to stay in Tyumen Where to go from Tyumen for 1 day

The Tyumen region is the “gate of Siberia”, opening the way to the vast part of our country. The first city to appear in Siberia is considered to be Tyumen, founded as a fort in 1586 on the site of the Khanate of Chingi-Tura. Over its long history, many cultural and architectural monuments have appeared here. In the last century, oil and gas fields were discovered in the region, which contributed to an increase in the standard of living in the city. According to the results of all-Russian surveys, Tyumen has more than once been included in the top list of Russian cities with the highest “happiness index”.

The surroundings of Tyumen are famous for resorts with thermal springs. Therefore, many come here to relax in the hot springs, but it is also worth taking time to walk around the city with ancient history.

Blue Lake Mullashi

An artificial reservoir 40 km from Tyumen is extremely popular among residents of the region. In the past it was a quarry, but now it is filled with the purest water with a noticeable blue tint.

There are several beaches here. Some can be accessed for free if you walk to the beach. For those who want to relax in a civilized manner, it is better to go to the Cuba beach. There are cabins, sun loungers, bungalows, and a children's playground. The remaining beaches are almost not equipped.

Fashion office

The shipping company's office, located on the embankment of the Tura River, is the most fashionable art space in Tyumen - a former enterprise and warehouse of the merchant Anton Vasilyevich Kolmakov. The almost completely destroyed two-story building of the 19th century was restored, preserving its historical appearance. Now there is an exhibition center, event halls and a small cozy family coffee shop. Dropping by here on any day, you will certainly find yourself at some event - a lecture, a yoga class, a jam session or a musical and poetry evening, in which you can take part not only as a listener, but also as a performer.

All buildings in the square are designed in the same style (Soviet classicism), which is rare for Tyumen.

Address: Central Square (intersection of Respubliki and Vodoprovodnaya streets), Tyumen

Holy Trinity Monastery

The history of the monastery begins at the beginning of the 17th century. But the buildings of that time burned down in the 18th century. And in the middle of the 19th century, a serious reconstruction of the monastery buildings was carried out. Now it is a functioning monastery (reopened in 1995) with daily services.

Of interest is the Trinity Cathedral of 1715 with paintings from the 19th century. And also the Church of Peter and Paul with a hipped bell tower.

Church of the Exaltation of the Cross

The construction of the temple began in the mid-18th century with the money of parishioners. It is known that by 1791 construction was completed. A five-domed church in Baroque style was erected. But during Soviet times the building was badly damaged. The church was turned first into a machine shop, then into a club. At the same time, elements of the external decor were destroyed.

The temple resumed work in 1993, as part of the Trinity Monastery. And in 2011, it was decided to create a separate parish at the Church of the Exaltation of the Cross.

In the historical part of the city, not far from the Embankment, you can admire the Znamensky Cathedral. This is not only the main, but also the most beautiful temple in Tyumen. The building began to be built in the 18th century in an elegant Baroque style.

I can’t believe that the cathedral was remodeled more than once (especially at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries), because it looks like a single composition, where every detail was thought out. From the combination of bright azure roofs with white walls to curved gables and elongated windows.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the room was converted into a barracks. And now the cultural institute is located here.

On the 1st floor of the mansion there were shops, and the premises on the 2nd floor were reserved for the board of the company. Next to the mansion, in the depths of the courtyard, an “outbuilding” was built, where the company’s accountant was located. Now there is a literary and local history center there.

Tyumen residents noticed the site in the western part of the city back in the 60s of the 20th century. There was a very successful combination of natural and artificial plantings. Plus, trees rare for the Tyumen region (hazel, elm, broad-leaved ash) have taken root. However, this did not save the forest from partial deforestation - the highway to Roshchino airport passed through here.

Finally, in 2017-2018, they tried to restore the forest zone. Now the eco-park is divided into 4 zones: a walking zone, a games zone, a relaxation zone and a sports zone.

There was even a greenhouse where pineapples grew, which is generally a miracle for Western Siberia.

However, in the dark, extreme people will find it even more interesting - extinct streets, ancient wooden houses, still inhabited, exciting stories about their inhabitants and beautifully selected atmospheric music, which you can listen to for a long time after the end of the excursion, mentally remaining in that old Tyumen, where I want to stay a little longer.
