Café Baikalov
Кафе «Байкалов»
A lounge café with soft sofas is something unexpected in one of the old wooden railway worker's houses. The menu varies from day to day, fish and seafood is common but not local fish, and rather "sophisticated" dishes for rural Siberia such as salads in dough baskets and poached eggs.

Railway station Slyudyanka-1
Вокзал станции Слюдянка
Slyudyanka boasts the world's only railway station entirely built out of marble (mined in the region). The station was designed by Italians working on the CBR (at the time part of the Trans-Siberian) in 1903-04. There are also other details from that time; a bust of Mikhail Khilkov, minister of railways back then, and the imperial-era emblem of the ministry can be seen here and there on the station (restored after the fall of communism). There is also a small exhibit inside the station building showcasing the region's railway history.

Water tower
Водонапорная башня
Neo-Gothic red brick water tower, used by the railway and next to it an old locomotive. Interestingly these are two blocks southwest of the railway and on the other side of it seen from the station. The tower was built by Poles exiled to Siberia for their opposition to the czar, and at one place if the tower they've placed the bricks so as to form an obscene word.
