On August 25, a presentation of the “This is Pushkin!” Creative Gastronomic City Tour took place in Ulyanovsk, dedicated to the 190th anniversary of the poet’s visit to Simbirsk
Residents and guests of the city from Moscow and Penza, representatives of the region's media, popular bloggers and active citizens took a walking tour through the central part of Ulyanovsk together with Natalya Sivtseva, professional guide.
The participants went to the “House of Yazikovs” literary museum. Here they were greeted by Nikolai Yazykov “himself”, who spoke about his friendship with the poet.
On the esplanade, the daughter of the Simbirsk governor Zagryazhsky, Lizonka, spoke about her relationship with the family of the great poet.
"The excursion is simply amazing! Extremely engaging! This was probably the best way to spend a Friday morning. There was exactly as much information as you needed. We thank the guide for the interesting story about Pushkin and our beloved city of Ulyanovsk. And I really liked the format of the excursion with tasting - heartfelt, unusual, unique. We will recommend it to our friends. This tour is definitely worth taking,” Roxana, city tour participant, shared with us.
The route map also included Karamzin Square, the Volga River embankment, Theater Square, the Suvorov Monument and the cadet corps.
How did this journey end? We will tell you later!
