Northern Dvina Embankment: A Stroll Through Time

Trust me, you'll never look at this picturesque promenade the same way again!

Malye Korely: Step Back in Time

Ever wondered what life was like in rural Russia centuries ago? At Malye Korely, you can find out! This open-air museum is like stepping into a time machine. Our guides will lead you through traditional wooden houses, mills, and churches, all while regaling you with tales of the resourceful northern Russians who built them. Pro tip: Don't miss the chance to try your hand at traditional crafts – it's harder than it looks, but oh so fun!

Northern Maritime Museum: Ahoy, Matey!

Calling all maritime enthusiasts (and really, anyone who's curious about ships)! The Northern Maritime Museum is a treasure trove of nautical history. From ancient maps to model ships that'll make you want to set sail, this place has it all. Our guides know all the best exhibits and can share some pretty wild stories about Arctic expeditions that'll give you goosebumps.

Gostiny Dvor: Shop 'Til You Drop (Into History)

Okay, so Gostiny Dvor isn't your average shopping mall. This 17th-century trading arcade is a stunning example of northern Russian architecture. As we wander through its arches, you'll learn about the merchants who once hawked their wares here and the secrets hidden within its walls. And yes, you can still do some shopping – talk about a unique souvenir!

Arkhangelsk Drama Theater: Lights, Camera, Action!

Even if you don't speak Russian, the Arkhangelsk Drama Theater is a must-visit. This beautiful building is a work of art in itself, and the energy inside is electric.
