Timeline
09:30
Visit the V.A. Zhigalov mineral museum. It is a private collection of stones from the Baikal region. Since it is open by prior appointment but you may drop by at random, arriving early gives you the best chance to find the operator in a good mood.
10:15
Walk to Pribrezhny Park and find Café Baikalov. Housed in an old wooden railway worker's house, this lounge café offers soft sofas and unexpected sophistication. The menu changes daily, often featuring fish and seafood dishes.
10:45
Stop by the Яхонт sweet shop nearby. It is a simple spot to pick up local confections or snacks before heading out.
Local tip
The museum is 3 km from downtown. If you plan to visit, try to arrive when the operator is likely to be there. Café Baikalov and Яхонт are both within a short walk from the park area.
