Secrets of old yakutsk
I invite you on an adventurous journey through the iconic places of the ice capital. At the Yaroslavsky Museum, the "Old Town" complex and on Lenin Square, you will hear gloomy stories about the revolt of exiles, church cemeteries and the main ghosts of Yakutsk. You will learn about hares-saviors, animated paintings, discovered treasure. And marvel at the richness of our urban folklore.
