Irkutsk Tours open the door to one of the most beautiful river cities in Russia. Irkutsk is the capital of Eastern Siberia, a crossroads of trade routes located just over 60 kilometers from the legendary Lake Baikal. Today there are nearly 700 historical and cultural monuments in the city, which is recognized by UNESCO as a potential World Heritage Site.
Irkutsk’s oldest buildings date back to the 18th century and reflect the unique Siberian Baroque style. The city has the largest number of baroque churches in all of Russia as well as an incredible collection of historic stone and wooden buildings which manage to blend seamlessly with its 21st-century architecture.
Travel between Irkutsk and Moscow could not be easier, for the cities are connected by regular flights and trains. Irkutsk Tours are a great chance to see a colorful, lesser-visited Russian town and its exquisite natural neighbor, Lake Baikal.
