Known as the gateway leading to Siberia, Sibirskaya Street, is the next stop on the itinerary. Stop at the grandeur hotel where the member of the Tsar's family, Mikhail Romanov, often resided. While tracing the final footsteps of the royal family, your tour guide will reveal much of the inexplicable mysteries surrounding the family’s tragic execution.

Your transfer will take you to Komsomolsky Prospekt to see the ‘Tower of Death’, a monument symbolising the struggles of the city during the Stalin era.

The Museum sits at the top of a truly picturesque hill, on the banks of the majestic Kama River, and it is surrounded by spell-binding views of the Urals. Upon arrival, your tour guide will lead you to explore the settlement covering some of the museum’s historic monuments. Step back in time and experience village life in the 17th century as you explore the old wooden houses, dress in traditional costumes, and then you will immerse yourself in the culture and long standing traditions of the villagers who once lived there.
