Meet & Greet.

Irkutsk city tour. 

Irkutsk is an ancient Siberian merchant city founded in the 17th century.
The city has preserved its centuries-old appearance and is renowned for its unique architecture, blending Siberian Baroque, wooden folk architecture, and Soviet Constructivism.

Our tour introduces you to Irkutsk’s historical and architectural heritage:
Spasskaya Church — an Orthodox church from the early 18th century and the oldest surviving stone building in Irkutsk; Znamensky Monastery — the oldest Orthodox women’s monastery in Siberia, housing a Gospel gifted by Peter the Great; Kazanskaya Church — a striking red church with blue domes; Monument to Alexander III — the founder of the Trans-Siberian Railway, located on the Angara River embankment.

The tour includes a walk through the 130th Quarter (Irkutskaya Sloboda), a historic district where wooden houses from the 17th to 19th centuries have been restored. This area is a unique example of architectural preservation and revival, housing museums, craft workshops, souvenir shops, cafes, and restaurants.
