Enjoy summertime at the legendary Lake Baikal on this diverse tour that showcases nature, history, architecture, culture, and much more. Explore many historical monuments of Irkutsk, the gateway to Lake Baikal. This vibrant Siberian city offers a rich history, impressive architecture, and interesting museums. From Irkutsk, move to the lakeside village of Listvyanka, where you can stroll along the “Baikal Riviera”, visit the unique Baikal Limnological Museum, and – if you don’t mind cold water – even take a dip in the lake. A highlight of this Lake Baikal Summer Tour from Moscow will undoubtedly be taking a leisurely day trip on the Circumbaikal Railway, a unique and impressive feat of engineering, while surrounded by stunning scenery.
