Omsk


Siberia has become one of the most popular tourist destinations in travel to Russia. Every year tourists from different parts of the world visit this region of Russia and admire the cities and sights there.

Omsk is a city in Siberia, which located in the western part of the region. It was Russian tsar Peter the Great, who ordered to build a fortress in the region, which later became a rapidly developing city. Omsk is an important Russian port and industrial center. The city has various kinds of sights, which should be visited. However you probably would never hear that Omsk was a place where tzars send away everyone who was against them, or in other words, it was a political prison. I think this is more interesting reason to visit Russia Omsk. Even the name of it, from Russian mean Genaral Place of Prisoners Location (Obshee Mesto Sbora Katorjnikov).

Various architectural monuments are located in this city. Each of the monuments represent an different architectural style, which makes them unique. The city has theaters and museums, which offer various kinds of collections of works of art. Vrubel’s Museum of Fine Arts is one of the biggest museums in the whole country.It is also located on a way of Russian train system. There are also beautiful churches in the city, constructed in the past centuries.
