Don't shy from exploring Tomsk - the jewel of Siberia known for its mix of traditional and modern architectures.

Discover Cat-ternity street, Tomsk's most charming street

Cat-ternity street resembles an open-air museum with colorful merchant houses, craft shops, and tea houses. Perfect for cat-style procrastination and shopping.

Keep your cat-itude in check at Tomsk's beautiful churches

When visiting Tomsk's ancient churches, remember to be respectful and keep your cat-itude in check.

Tempt your cat-ppetite with Siberian delicacies

Tomsk offers unique culinary experiences for a curious cat's adventurous taste-buds, such as 'Pelmennaya' - the Siberian version of dumplings filled with meat and smetana (sour cream).
