What awaits you
My Smolensk I love my city and the corner where I spent my childhood and youth is especially dear to me. I want to share with you my perception of Smolensk, show its flavor and tell little-known, amazing, sometimes tragic stories of every house, street or lane
Golden Route We are definitely not going to gallop across Europe. On a walk, you will plunge headlong into the past of Smolensk, from the first settlements and deeds of the Grand Dukes to the modern culture of the city. Get acquainted with the history of the Smolensk fortress, walk along the atmospheric streets and the embankment of Prince Vladimir, view the Assumption Cathedral and learn about the military glory of the city. I will show you the best panoramas and tell you the most interesting urban legends and myths
City in detail Let's linger at the monument to a man whose handiwork still protects the city. You will walk along the monastery where the future mother of the Russian emperor was brought up. Find out who stopped the troops of Khan Batu, not allowing enemies to the city walls. Meet your favorite animal in the local park. Let's talk about the history of the Bridge of Sighs and the terrible riddle of the stone with the inscription: "CABOGRALLO". In addition, I will show you the place where the residents of Smolensk have been dating each other for a long time. And I will also invite you to taste real potato pancakes in the "historical" cafe and delicacies for the imperial table
Photo session as a gift I am not only a guide, but also a photographer, so if you want, in addition to the walk, I will take some atmospheric shots from the best angles and send 20-25 processed shots within a few days after the meeting.
