The Yacht Week Launches Tahiti Route For 2023

The original 'floating festival' launches its boutique sailing adventure where friends can hire a luxury yacht, join a flotilla of like-minded people for parties, exploration, activities and culture, as they enjoy the stunning French Polynesian islands from the sea.

The Yacht Week has launched its Tahiti route for 2023, taking place from 8th – 15th April and 15th – 22nd April. The original ‘floating festival’ offers a unique way to experience everything the French Polynesian islands have to offer. Groups of friends can hire a luxury yacht and join a flotilla of like-minded people from around the world to enjoy a 7-day boutique adventure (15 yachts compared to 60 catered for in Croatia) which mixes sailing, parties, exploration and activities, while giving a chance to experience Tahitian culture first-hand. Unlike most travel companies who fly tourists from island to island, The Yacht Week sails across the still, turquoise waters, with guests and friends living aboard the yachts, giving a unique perspective and an alternative trip – one which proves Tahiti is so much more than a honeymoon destination. The Yacht Week Tahiti routes this year sold out in under 3 minutes when they first went on sale, so anyone hoping to join the trip-of-a-lifetime in paradise should get their gang together and move fast.

Guests this year were asked to describe The Yacht Week Tahiti in one word and gave answers like ‘ incredible ’, ‘ magical ’ and ‘ stunning ’. One guest was New York-based influencer and content creator, Eleba Taber. She described it as ‘ one of the best weeks ever ’. On the subject of sailing with The Yacht Week she said, ‘ there’s no better way to see Tahiti. You see so much of the country by sailing, being out on the sea, seeing the turquoise water and the nature as you’re sailing by – it’s one of a kind .’

There are plenty of chances to really explore the islands and soak up the culture, whether that’s visiting a pearl farm, exploring the backcountry on horseback, or touring the lagoons in a traditional outrigger canoe. The explosion of nature on display is hard to believe – guests can snorkel with stingrays and black tip sharks, or dive in Taha’a’s spectacular ‘Jardin du Corail’, the renowned coral garden. The local people are always welcoming and a big part of The Yacht Week Tahiti experience is to enjoy the traditional food, drinks, dancing and culture of the islands.

Throughout the trip guests are guaranteed to make new friends and, living together on a yacht means, they get closer to old ones. As Elena Taber explained, ‘ It’s really really special, and rare I think, to get to travel but to make so many friends as you go .’ Those who make it to The Yacht Week Tahiti will create unforgettable memories, like watching the sunset over Bora Bora, moored up alongside the flotilla with close friends, falling asleep on their yacht out at sea and under the stars. This is a travel experience which captures the magic of French Polynesia but also the joy of spending time with the people you value the most, while sailing, exploring and having enough fun to last until next year’s trip.

The Yacht Week Announces ‘The Islands’ Destinations For 2022

From 2022 the renowned ‘floating festival’ will take adventurous young travellers to island destinations in the Bahamas, Tahiti , Martinique and St Lucia. The new routes will see The Yacht Week continue to offer a proven, safe environment and flexible tickets allowing groups of friends to book with confidence and spend a life-changing week in paradise.

Launched back in 2006, The Yacht Week hosts a diverse community of sun lovers and adventure seekers from around the world and provides them with a series of week-long luxury floating yacht festivals in some of the world’s most beautiful locations.

Bookings now open for the Caribbean Yacht Week 2022

The Yacht Week has now opened bookings for 2022 with the announcement of three routes to stunning island destinations in the Bahamas, Tahiti, and Martinique & St Lucia. Young, adventurous travellers can pick their paradise destination and join a small flotilla of yachts headed for the trip of a lifetime. With flexible ticket terms and a proven safe environment, groups of friends can now book a yacht with confidence.

‘The Islands’ routes rediscover the sense of awe and excitement that only travelling to far-flung paradise destinations can bring. Guests can charter a yacht of their choice, equip it with a skipper and a host and enjoy seven life-changing days with like-minded explorers.

With resident DJs flown in from around the world for parties at amazing locations, The Yacht Week always delivers the fun, alongside carefully curated activities, and once-in-a-lifetime cultural experiences. The Yacht Week will make dreams a reality with the best yachts. It’s definitely time we all got some adventure back in our lives and The Yacht Week has delivered it with ‘The Islands’. With routes already set to Croatia (Original / Ultra Festival / Hideout Festival routes), Greece, Montenegro and Sardinia Emerald Coast, ‘The Islands’ adds a new page to the bucket list.

The Treasured Islands

The Bahamas were once considered the pirate islands and as part of a flotilla of 10 – 15 yachts sailing from 26th March to 2nd April, swashbuckling travellers can dive to sunken shipwrecks, sail clear waters and walk deserted white sand beaches.

Activities include feeding and swimming with wild pigs, snorkelling with turtles, beach parties, shoreside yoga and of course, a sampling of local culture with delicious food and rum cocktails. As the sun goes down, there is treasure to be found in the stunning skies at Sunset Beach.

The Lost Islands

The Lost Islands – Tahiti and the Polynesian islands are unique. Set alone in the middle of the vast South Pacific Ocean these islands are like entering another world. Each one is different to the last, but all with turquoise waters and coral teeming with spectacular underwater life. From 9th – 16th April and 16th – 23rd April, The Yacht Week takes 20 – 25 yachts to lose themselves in the natural beauty and ancient traditions of Tahiti.

Explorers can hike Mount Temehani, visit sacred temples and pearl farms or enjoy sunrise yoga and surfing. With gourmet Polynesian food and parties including a New Moon Bora Bora beach party, this is a pure bucket list adventure.

The Carnival Islands

Explore two of the Caribbean’s most vibrant cultures. From the French chic of Martinique to the carnival vibes of St Lucia. There’s no better way to see in the New Year than on a yacht with friends on the open Caribbean Sea.

From 27th December to 3rd January, and 3rd – 10th January, The Yacht Week celebrates the arrival of 2022 with calypso beats, cocktails and a next-level adventure. Guests can enjoy the thrills of treetop zip-lining, kayaking, water sports, climbing The Pitons, an eco ATV tour, diving in crystal clear waters and more.

Leave the real world behind and experience the vacation of a lifetime

A new generation of explorers have missed out on a year of adventure. The Yacht Week Spring programme is giving them the opportunity they’ve been waiting for to really leave the world behind. Pick any paradise location from ‘the islands’ and guests can enjoy an action holiday, a wellness break, a cultural experience, a party trip, a chance to explore new places – and that’s before considering the unrivalled feeling of sailing the open seas with friends.

The Yacht Week will also be drawing on their years of experience as the original ‘floating festival’ to host a series of exclusive themed parties on each route. As always guests can enjoy the iconic ‘circle raft’ parties out at sea, dancing in crystal blue waters, as well as live international DJs performing at incredible venues. These events will be an unmissable part of an unforgettable week.

Now with bookings open, and safe, flexible tickets for 2022, The Yacht Week Islands are likely to sell out fast, but those lucky enough to rally the crew and secure a place should prepare to disconnect from everyday life and reconnect with their sense of adventure.

The best time for a yacht charter in Tahiti is during their winter months, which run from April to November. This dry season has lower humidity, temperatures in the mid-80s, and hardly any rain or storms. Additionally, if you prefer a sailing yacht, these months offer constant southeasterly trade winds that temper the heat from the sun and fill the sails of your yacht.

Water Conditions : The waters of the South Pacific are inviting year-round, with temperatures hovering in the mid-to-high 70s. Typically, the swells are calm, although they do climb in the wet season.

Yacht Charters in Tahiti – Where to Go

Every island, atoll, and port of call in Tahiti and French Polynesia has its own unique flair. From exclusive black pearl jewelers – (Tahiti is the world’s black pearl capital) – to spas and outdoor adventures, seeing all of French Polynesia would take a lifetime.

But that’s the advantage of touring Tahiti by superyacht. You and your guests can experience more of Tahiti and the region’s sights, sounds, and tastes.

Every yacht charter itinerary is personalized to create a unique luxury vacation. You might tour the Society Islands, which includes the cosmopolitan Tahiti, the ultra-exclusive Bora Bora , and scenic Moorea, for a taste of Polynesian culture, cuisine and charm. Or choose to tour the entire region – from Tahiti to Fiji – stopping to explore undiscovered beaches and lagoons, hidden restaurants and spas, and the region’s stunning vistas along the way.

The good news: The itinerary is up to you. Charter a yacht and create an itinerary that includes all of the best places in the South Pacific:

• Bora Bora – One of Tahiti’s best-known destinations, Bora Bora is the crown jewel of the Society Islands. Set on a crystal-clear bay, Bora Bora is the ultimate destination for R&R, as the island is home to world-class spas, beach resorts and numerous secluded beaches.Escape to Matira Beach, one of the island’s best-kept secrets, and enjoy the white-sand beaches. This is a great beach for snorkeling, kayaking and water sports. Bora Bora’s warm waters are also great for scuba diving and paddleboarding, and ATV tours and helicopter rides offer exciting explorations of the island’s interior.
• Moorea – Lush and breath-takingly beautiful, Moorea is one of the most stunning islands in French Polynesia. The island is known for its warm, welcoming spirit, and is a popular destination for honeymoons.There’s plenty to do here. Belvedere Lookout is a hiking spot that offers incredible views of Moorea’s lush mountains. Plus, you’ll find great snorkeling at all of Moorea’s relaxed beaches, including Ta’ahiamanu Beach and Temae Beach.
• Huahine – Nicknamed the “Garden of Eden,” Huahine is a dazzling tropical paradise. Here you’ll find picture-perfect white-sand beaches and laid-back vibes. The island is home to just 6,000 people, and as such, it’s rustic and charming. When you go, be sure to grab a frozen cocktail at the Huahine Yacht Club.
• Raiatea – This island is rich in culture and history, and welcomes visitors with its warm, laid-back vibes. Raiatea offers plenty to do and explore. It’s one of the top charter destinations in French Polynesia, thanks to its numerous bays, moorings and marinas. Plus, many Leeward Islands are nearby, so it’s a great stop on an island-hopping adventure.One option: Explore the ancient ruins at Taputapuatea Marae and Arahurahu Marae. You can also discover Raiatea on ATV and Jeep tours or escape to one of the island’s pristine beaches.
• Tahaa – Escape to Tahaa for the best in seclusion and relaxation. There are plenty of ways to experience Tahaa’s natural beauty: Scuba diving, waterfall hikes, ATV overland tours, and snorkeling at the coral gardens.

How Much Does It Cost to Charter a Yacht in Tahiti

The cost of a yacht charter in Tahiti is dependent on a number of factors, including the length of the boat you choose, your itinerary, and the duration of your vacation. Typically, smaller sailing yachts range in price from $20,000 to $50,000 per week. Luxury motor yachts in Tahiti cost on average between $75,000 and $250,000 per week.

Tahiti Yacht Charters – What to See & Do

Thanks to Tahiti’s unique geography, yacht charters in the region offer itineraries full of exhilarating moments. Each island in the region – from Bora Bora to Huahine – offers new experiences and sites to explore. You can peruse the handiwork of local artisans in an area market or try to ride the waves on a surfboard in Bora Bora.

Regardless of where you roam in the South Pacific, you’ll be able to find the solitude you’ve been craving and untouched natural beauty on your Tahiti yacht charter.

Looking for some inspiring reasons to consider chartering a yacht in Tahiti? From postcard-worthy moorings to unforgettable sea adventures, here are some of the reasons to consider experiencing Tahiti by superyacht:

World-Class Snorkeling and Diving

Tahiti – the largest of the Society Islands – and the nearby Leeward Islands boast some of the world’s best snorkeling. Nowhere else on Earth will you find such rich, rare and abundant marine life. Nearly every lagoon – dazzlingly with that world-renowned aquamarine color – is dotted with a coral reef. And dolphins, porpoises, sea turtles, neon-hued reef fish and vibrant corals call these reefs home.

Simply stated, Tahiti is the world’s best destination for an unforgettable snorkeling and diving adventure.

Fortunately, all these world-class snorkeling spots are, quite literally, at your doorstep. Wake up. Enjoy a breakfast of exotic fruit prepared by your personal chef. Then, your day of snorkeling begins.

Your crew knows the region’s dive spots like the back of their hands. That means you can avoid the overcrowded lagoons in favor of hidden, off-the-beaten-path reefs, coves, and diving hotspots. Not to mention, all your equipment is on board – so you can take a dive whenever you please.

Private Black-Sand Beaches

Imagine dropping anchor in a crystal-clear lagoon. A secluded black-sand beach – shrouded in palm trees and vibrant flowers – beckons you for a day of respite. You spend the day relaxing to a symphony of surf, wind and wildlife, while you feast on Polynesian-inspired eats and cocktails. You and your guests are the only souls for miles.

Sounds like paradise, right?

Well, in Tahiti and French Polynesia, this blissful scene can occur every day on your luxury yacht charter. The French republic is home to 118 islands, including more than 80+ atolls, and many of these islands remain isolated and untouched.

Choose to relax beachside for the day with drinks and a chef-prepared lunch, or ask your captain about other unique, one-of-a-kind jungle adventures. Beyond the beaches, many of French Polynesia’s atolls feature hidden waterfalls, ATV adventures, and panoramic vistas.

Fortunately, you don’t have to plan ahead. Choose your adventure as you go — your captain will make sure you experience the region’s untouched, secluded, and postcard-worthy beaches.

Mouth-Watering Polynesian Cuisine

Fancy yourself a foodie? Well, there’s nothing quite like dining aboard a superyacht. A personal chef is ready to design a Polynesian-inspired menu (with hints of French cooking) that will awaken all the senses. Try Poisson cru, a Tahitian twist on ceviche, featuring lime juice and coconut milk marinated red tuna, that will literally melt in your mouth.

Or sample the region’s exotic fruits like breadfruit, a sweet, starchy fruit unique to the region. (Of course, pineapple, banana, coconut, and fresh seafood are available in abundance in Tahiti, too.)

Want to experience a tasting menu? Or a Tahitian pairing? Let your chef craft a culinary tour of the islands that you’ll remember for ages – and feast on deck as the sunsets.

Plus, your crew can help you explore Tahiti’s numerous five-star eateries when you reach a port of call. Your crew will be happy to offer Tahitian recommendations for fine dining – like L’O à la Bouche, a gourmet eatery serving up unique island dishes – or romantic waterfront restaurants like Le Coco’s. Whatever food is on your mind, your chef will be happy to create or guide you to it.

Tahiti Yacht Charter Reviews

Here are some Tahiti charter reviews from our clients:

We had a magnificent experience on our charter in Tahiti, everything went on smoothly and the vacation was utterly enjoyable. Besides having the whole family together, the week on the yacht was like being in paradise. Climate played on our side, just one shower for 10 minutes more or less.

We had the most AMAZING time in Tahiti.  I have never seen my husband so relaxed and the crew, looked after our every need.  The food prepared by the Chef was so good and we all had a great time with the water sports.   The itinerary was perfect for us and we loved swimming every day in the pristine water at whatever cove we visited. I actually cried as we said goodbye to the crew on our last day.  An unforgettable experience.  A very big thank you to everyone involved. We will definitely be back.

I lived ‘Below Deck’ on a luxury yacht — here’s what you need to know

Tahiti, St. Thomas and the French Riviera — I’ve yachted in all of these exotic locales, albeit from the comfort of my couch. And, millions of Americans are in the same boat.

In 2013, “Below Deck,” introduced the masses to the most glamorous mode of traveling: yachting. Since then, it’s become a Bravo mainstay with Season 9 of “Below Deck Mediterranean’’ premiering in June.

But how real is the reality show? I spent five nights on a yacht in Croatia to find out.

A tip on tipping

My suitcase wasn’t bursting with Benjamins. An agency at your final destination provides cash for the crew’s tip money. While you’re expected to tip $30,000 for a two-night cruise on “Below Deck,” in real life you only have to tip 10% to 15% of your charter fee. That’s about $10,000 for a two-night cruise on a 180-foot charter yacht like Mustique (from $250,000 a week), which stars in the new season.

According to Zvonimir Androi, president of the yacht charter company Via Croatia, more often than not, the tip comes from what’s left over after provisioning.

So, shun the Dom Pérignon and skip the beluga caviar, and you’ll have money to spare.

What’s up, dock?

In real life, “Below Deck’s” favorite commercial-break cliff-hanger isn’t nearly as dramatic. Docking in our yacht, Via Croatia’s five-cabin, 100-foot Adriatic Escape (from $52,800 a week), was breezy.

I asked the crew if they hated setting up the slide — a tortuous, Herculean task if you believe what you see on TV.

“It’s not that bad,” a twentysomething Croatian deckhand, as cute as his on-screen counterparts, told me. “That said, we’re definitely not sad if you don’t ask for it.”

Play it cool

Despite being served meat on more than one occasion, my vegetarian co-guests on board weren’t divas when it came to cuisine — a major source of chef-related stress on the show.

Tantrums aren’t the norm Barbie Pascual, the “Below Deck” stewardess famous for putting up with former “RHONY” star Jill Zarin’s demands for the perfect Diet Coke in the “Real Housewives of Grenada” episode, tells me. “Guests know they are being filmed so their reactions are more extreme than they’d be if the cameras weren’t around,” she says.

Pascual’s biggest tip for first-time yachters? Don’t go skinny dipping, like they do on the show, after dark.

“People forget about currents, sharks, etc.,” she says. “Jumping in the water should always be with the captain’s consent!”

Our humorless Croatian yacht captain was a far cry from “Below Deck Mediterranean’s” affable Captain Sandy Yawn. I think we only saw him twice over the course of four days, and he definitely didn’t join us for dinner.

That was fine by us because the stews and deckhands were always handy with anything we needed — including at chat.

Asking for it

“No” is a word you’ll never hear on a yacht, unless there is a safety issue, Pascual says.

While we didn’t ask our crew to do a striptease or decorate for ‘70s night (two recurring requests on the show), out-there demands aren’t out of the question, as long as you’re willing to pay for it.

For example, Via Croatia is currently retrofitting one of its multimillion-dollar superyachts for an upcoming charter booked by a multigenerational Jewish family from Florida.

“In addition to paying the charter fee, the client is literally buying everything new: pots, pans, silverware, etc.” said Androi. “They’re even spending $30,000 on a new tender for the elderly mother-in-law.”

Now, I’m no reality show producer, but a picky primary trying to keep his wife, her elderly mom and their kosher kids happy at sea has the makings of an Emmy Award-winning episode.

Yachting on a budget

Charters are cheapest at the beginning and end of a destination’s season. Via Croatia’s yuppiest yacht, the 160-foot, 12-cabin Agape Rose , fetches $200,000 a week in July and August. But it’s just $164,000 a week in April and October. Divide that by 24 of your closest friends and family and it’s just $6,800 a person.

If that’s still too much, consider booking a yacht club suite on one of MSC Cruises ’ Mediterranean voyages.

Sure, you’ll be on a cruise liner, but for $1,659 a person you’ll be treated to seven nights of private butler service with a private pool and restaurant that the pleb passengers don’t even know exists.

I lived ‘below deck’ on a luxury yacht — here’s what you need to know.

Tahiti, St. Thomas and the French Riviera — I’ve yachted in all of these exotic locales, albeit from the comfort of my couch. And, millions of Americans are in the same boat.

In 2013, “Below Deck,” introduced the masses to the most glamorous mode of traveling: yachting. Since then, it’s become a Bravo mainstay with Season 9 of “Below Deck Mediterranean’’ premiering in June.

But how real is the reality show? I spent five nights on a yacht in Croatia to find out.

A tip on tipping

My suitcase wasn’t bursting with Benjamins. An agency at your final destination provides cash for the crew’s tip money. While you’re expected to tip $30,000 for a two-night cruise on “Below Deck,” in real life you only have to tip 10% to 15% of your charter fee. That’s about $10,000 for a two-night cruise on a 180-foot charter yacht like Mustique (from $250,000 a week), which stars in the new season.

According to Zvonimir Androi, president of the yacht charter company Via Croatia, more often than not, the tip comes from what’s left over after provisioning.

So, shun the Dom Pérignon and skip the beluga caviar, and you’ll have money to spare.

What’s up, dock?

In real life, “Below Deck’s” favorite commercial-break cliff-hanger isn’t nearly as dramatic. Docking in our yacht, Via Croatia’s five-cabin, 100-foot Adriatic Escape (from $52,800 a week), was breezy.

I asked the crew if they hated setting up the slide — a tortuous, Herculean task if you believe what you see on TV.

“It’s not that bad,” a twentysomething Croatian deckhand, as cute as his on-screen counterparts, told me. “That said, we’re definitely not sad if you don’t ask for it.”

The 12 best places to visit in Tyumen (the oldest siberian city)

It is the oldest city in siberia and has many points of interest. find out about the best places to visit in tyumen, russia..

The first Siberian city was founded in 1586. Tyumen has been unofficially titled the oil and gas capital of Russia. The city’s population is 707 000 people, which continues to increase. According to RBC Holding, Tyumen is one of ten the most quick-growing towns in Russia. Don’t let the mention of oil-hungry businesspeople leave you thinking this is a dull, money-focused city, though. The city has a buzzing street life in summer and a couple of worthwhile sights that, taken together, will keep you entertained for a day or so.

Tyumen is also the stepping stone to the gorgeous old town of Tobolsk, a few hours’ bus or train ride away. Tyumen is a cultural, business, educational and administrative center of the Tyumen region. Most of the city’s population comprises young people under 35.

Here are always places to go in the evening and to see during weekends. Cozy cafes, luxurious restaurants, the best theatres and philharmonic concert hall, and museums reminding about the rich history of the city — all that is Tyumen. These are the best places to see in Tyumen, Russia.

1. Tyumen’s Holy Trinity Monastery

Tyumen’s Holy Trinity Monastery is located in the historical center of Tyumen. It is just a few minutes walk from the Tura Embankment. The monastery was founded on the picturesque bank of the Tura River in 1616. Almost a century later, in 1708, the old wooden monastery was rebuilt with stone. Shortly after, the monastery was named Holy Trinity. The building process was conducted under the leadership of metropolitan Philophey Leschinsky. Later, he took monastic vows and lived in seclusion for the rest of his life. After he died in 1727, he was buried at the monastery’s entrance.

During the Soviet period, the monastery was used as a dormitory for a military platoon and the headquarters of the city’s water control system. The monastery was returned to the Tyumen diocese in 1995, but the first service was not held there until 2003. In 2005 the relic of prelate Philophey was uncovered and is now kept in the Peter and Paul Cathedral monastery. In 2007 a square was dedicated to Philophey near the monastery. Today Holy Trinity Monastery is open for everyone to see and tour while it continues to hold regular liturgical services.

2. Znamensky Cathedral

The history of Znamensky Cathedral found its roots in the first half of the 17th century, when a small wooden chapel was first erected at the site of the current Cathedral. The old wooden chapel was replaced with the construction of a stone church which began on September 1st, 1768. The church’s previous name was given in honor of Mary, the Mother of God, and her icon within the church. The building was dedicated only 33 years later, in 1801. The church’s first stone building was painted white and consisted of the main chapel, a bell tower, a refectory, and a porch.

After the Revolution of 1917, the Cathedral was used as a transit prison. Still, between 1933 and 1941, the church was returned to the diocese. With the beginning of World War II, however, it was again taken over and used to house dislocated army forces. Finally, the Cathedral was returned to the eparchy. On June 19th, 1994, the clergy held a liturgical service for the first time. Today Znamensky Cathedral is a functioning church and one of the most beautiful symbols of Tyumen.

3. Tyumen Bolshoi Drama Theater

In 2008, The Tyumen Bolshoi Drama Theater got a new building built in record time for one year and eight months. With a 158-year history, the theater is the most prominent Drama Theater in Russia. The history of the Tyumen theater began even before the first building. It is known that in 1858 the St. Petersburg guest expressed his admiration for Amateur performances.

This fact was recorded, and the city’s theatrical history was reckoned from it. History tells us that in 1890, the first Guild merchant, an honorary citizen of the municipality Tekut’ev Andrei Ivanovich, founded a permanent theatre, which entered the town history called Tekut’evsky. Andrei Ivanovich, in love with the spectacle of dramatic scenes, supported theatre for 26 years.

In 1916, before his death, he bequeathed the theatre to the city. The City Council accepted the gift, and newspaper announcements began to inform about the performances not in the Tekut’ev’s theater but in the city theatre named Tekut’ev. After the October revolution, the theatre received the name of V. I. Lenin.

Under the leadership of the Petrograd director Valmar, it was staged such performances as “Idiot”, “the Power of Darkness”, “the Living corpse”, and “the Day”. In subsequent years the core of the repertoire included Russian and foreign classics, the best works of modern drama.

4. Saint George Ascension church

Through the parishioners’ efforts, this church was erected on the Tura River’s left bank. The church began as a stone two-storied building with a bell tower and two thrones: one is on the first floor in honor of Saint George and the other in honor of the Ascension of God is on the second.

After the October Revolution in 1929, the church was closed, and a workshop of tanners and chemists used its building. In 1934-35 the church became a dormitory for driving school students and combined operators. Later the building was under the governance of Tuymen’s fur coat fabric company.

Only in 1996 was the building returned to the diocese of Tobolsk and Tyumen. Two years later, services were resumed there. Step by step, in 2005, the bell tower was restored. In 2006, the church participated in the government program entitled “Cultural memorials restoration.” Now it is a functioning church that adorns the historical center of Tyumen.

5. Church of the Saviour

The Church of the Saviour, also known as the Church of the Image of “The Saviour Not Made by Hands” or shorter Spasskaya Church, is a church in Tyumen, Tyumen Oblast, Russia, located at Lenin Street, 43, at a crossroad between the Chelyuskintsev Street. Built-in a late 18th-century Siberian Baroque and early 20th-century neorussian style, the building is one of Siberia’s oldest and most expressive churches, under monument protection.

It is believed that the early wooden church was raised in 1586 and reconstructed after several fires into a stable stone building in the late 17th century. The Church of the Saviour saw another two rebuildings in the late 19th century. However, after the 1917 October Revolution, the church was subject to confiscations of its property in 1922, and in 1930 was closed and became a momentary prison.

After the failed attempt to destroy the church two years later, it has been used as an archive and a library. The building storage material for the Tyumen Local Historical Museum is expected to be returned to the local eparchy in 2019.

6. Tura Embankment

The only thing in the Russian four-level structure of this kind and one of the favorite holiday destinations among residents and visitors alike. Here, close to each other is full of the city’s attractions: Lover’s Bridge, historical area, the museum “City Council” Architecture and Construction University, and Holy Trinity Monastery. Embankment and bridge of lovers – the city card is depicted on the magnets, postcards, and other souvenirs tourists bring from Tyumen.

Construction of the promenade continues today, and it planned its expansion on both sides of the river Tura. Throughout the embankment, scattered monuments of famous people, life, and activity were somehow linked to Tyumen. Summer, early Fall, and spring – are the best time for walking and spending time on the waterfront.

It is always noisy: many people are playing songs with a guitar, working fountains, flash mobs, and holding various events, to the bridge of lovers traditionally come to the newlyweds. In the summer promenade Tours – the most popular holiday destination for residents.

7. The Lovers’ Bridge

The Lovers’ Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge over the Tura River in the Central District of Tyumen. The bridge was built in 1987 – five years after the collapse of an old wooden bridge in the exact location. The last name of the bridge was Peshehodniy (Pedestrian). Still, in 2003 local DJs Maria Kondratovich and Timur Shkval arranged an unusual contest called “The most unusual kiss”.

After this event, the city mayor Stepan Kirichuk offered to rename the bridge the Lovers’ Bridge. Then, on July 26th, newly married couples, the director of the Red Army Radio Station V. Bogodelov, and the city’s mayor performed an official ribbon-cutting ceremony to commemorate the bridge.

8. Kolokolnikovs Estate Museum

The Kolokolnikovs Estate Museum is the only remaining classical merchant’s estate in Tyumen. The building’s facade combines classical and baroque architecture elements and traditional Siberian carving. The doors open to a luxurious, brightly lit hall with lofted ceilings and walls decorated with vivid paintings of the Kolokolnikovs family.

One painting depicts an old trade shop, representing the collective image of the city’s shops. Stepping through the doors of the Kolokolnikovs Estate transports one back to the unique atmosphere of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

The permanent exhibit of the Kolokolnikovs Estate Museum is called “The History of the House”. It is dedicated to the history of the merchant families, such as the Ikonnikovs and the Kolokolnikovs. The exhibit will also explain the historical events in this house, one of which was the monumental meeting between the future Emperor Alexander II and the great Russian poet V. Zhukovsky in 1837. In 1919 the estate was used as the headquarters of Marshal V. Blyukher.

9. Gorodskaya Duma Museum

The building of the Tyumen regional Museum of Local Lore Gorodskaya Duma was built in the second half of the XIX century. It is a magnificent example of Russian provincial architecture. The high ladder and a stepped attic give the museum its slenderness, combined with a Corinthian portico and massive columns — the traditional buildings of public institutions and architectural elements.

The Window into the nature constant exhibition introduces the variety of Flora and Fauna of the Tyumen region and its ancient inhabitants. An integral part of the museum is a small paleontological Museum. The skeleton’s collection of mammoth, fossil bison, woolly rhinoceros, and cave bears is presented at the museum. In addition, visitors can get acquainted with the Botanical, Zoological, and entomological collections.

10. House Masharova Museum

The House Masharova Museum is an old house built in the neoclassical style and previously belonged to N. Masharov, a famous manufacturer and one of the founders of the iron industry in Tyumen. The museum is a monument to late 19th and early 20th-century Siberian architecture and is renowned for its luxurious décor.

Traditional musical events and temporary exhibitions are regularly organized in the House Masharova Museum. They take place in the chamber-like atmosphere of the welcoming hall of the merchant’s house.

The permanent exhibition called the Family Book tells the tale of the family’s life at the end of the 19th century. During a tour of the house built, you will see many authentic items of a past era and discover the etiquette of a traditional family from Tyumen.

11. Alexandrovsky Garden

The original name of the Alexandrovsky Garden is the Country Garden. The garden appeared on a vacant plot of land in 1851 when thousands of linden, birch, spruce, and pine trees were planted in the area of about 100 acres (40 000 m²) with the money of the merchant Ivan Ikonnikov.

The garden was named after the crown prince Alexander, the future Tsar Alexander II, who visited Tyumen on May 31st, 1837, during his journey through Siberia. After the October Revolution of 1917, the garden was abandoned until 1948, when a small portion of it was restored through the employees’ efforts of a ship-building plant.

The landscape of the garden was adorned with a pond, a small bridge built traversing the ravine, a shooting range, and a restaurant with a terrace. In the 1960s, it was abandoned again, and by the 1970s, it fell into disrepair. Later a development effort began on the garden’s premises with the construction of houses, a kindergarten, and garages. A road to the Profsoyuzny Bridge was also built through the park.

However, the renewal of the garden did not begin until 2007. Although ten times smaller than the original garden, the grounds were restored, and the Alexandrovsky Garden became its official name. The fountain was rebuilt as well as sculptures of citizens styled after the 19th century. Some statues include the Hussar, Ladies on a Walk, A Girl at Rest, and the Boy.

12. Rasputin Museum

Grigory Rasputin was a friend of the last Russian emperor Nikolay II and his family. Rasputin is one of the most mysterious and exciting personalities of the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries. In the 1900s, among Saint Petersburg’s high society, he had the reputation of the Tsar’s family friend, a religious elder, a seer, and a healer.

The exposition includes a cosmetic mirror, broken down in the middle that symbolizes the broken life of its owner, an icon of St. Simeon Verhotursky the Righteous, who is highly honored in Siberia, and the plate of the famous Kuznetsovky porcelain factory with the monogram of the empress, which Rasputin gave to his god-daughter Iraida Kolesnikova during her christening, an old Viennese chair from the Rasputin’s house. There is an authentic platband from the famous home of Rasputin, and the only thing remained of the building.
