Tyumen

The city of Tyumen was the first one in Siberia, and now it became the business capital of the region. The destination is a tourist boon as it has everything for a comfortable vacation: city tours, excursions, river cruises, antique merchant neighbourhood, authentic Siberian cuisine in all its diversity, and much more. Some streets will surprise you with unique wood carvings, and others will swallow you up with a modern urban design. But the true trademark of the city is its thermal or hot springs. It is said that the mineral waters are many times superior to those in the resorts of France, Italy, Bulgaria and the Czech Republic. The water temperature is +39°C all year round, so bathing becomes especially comfortable in autumn and winter due to the contrasting combination of hot water and cold air. There are hot springs both within and outside the city, so if you want to enjoy nature, you can choose one of the many recreation centres. Tyumen is an incredible combination of history and modernity - top-floor restaurants, international hotels, a four-level embankment in contrast to the merchant family houses, cosy streets and gardens. This quiet, cosy city with its charming views, hospitable people and range of activities will stay in your heart forever.
