Т - Тобольск

Tobolsk, now a small city, was the capital of Siberia several centuries ago. Its 17th-century white-stone kremlin has been immaculately preserved and is the only one in Siberia!

The oldest buildings of the city are the Sophia-Assumption Cathedral of 1686, the ‘Prikaznaya’ Chamber, the Gostiny Dvor and the bell tower.

The most beautiful views of the Irtysh River and the surrounding area open from the kremlin observation deck.
