What awaits you
Journey to Tsarsky Pyatigorsk
You will walk through the oldest park of the city – Nikolaevsky (now Tsvetnik) – and learn how it changed along with the development of Pyatigorsk. The stories will take you to the times when Pushkin walked here, and some places will remind you of the romance of Ilf and Petrov. On Tsarskaya Street, you will pass the paths of the "Water Society" and listen to stories about how representatives of the local and metropolitan nobility loved to relax and have fun here. And, of course, we will talk separately about the role that Pyatigorsk played in the fate and work of Lermontov. On the slope of Mount Mashuka, I will show the legendary site of his duel.
Symbols of the City of Hot Waters
You will see the famous sculpture of an eagle defeating a snake. Approach the Chinese gazebo, built in the form of an air pagoda. From another ancient monument - the Aeolian Harp - you will have an impressive panorama of the city, the surrounding area and the Caucasus Range. And the extraordinary Lake Gap will be an occasion to recall several literary and historical plots at once. In addition, I will show the most unusual and Instagrammable attraction of Pyatigorsk – "Shameless Baths", which are a cascade of natural stone pools with blue mineral water against the background of inspiring mountain landscapes.
