May Holidays in Tula — 10-Day Plan
May 1-4: Spring Tula — Parks, Waterfront, Gingerbreads
The first May holidays are perfect for walks. Tula Kremlin is 800 m from the hostel, Kazan Embankment runs along the Upa River, Metallistov pedestrian street is nearby. Parks are in bloom, street cafes open their terraces. Weapons Museum, Gingerbread Museum, Belyov pastila factory — in 3-4 days you can see all the highlights.
May 9: Victory Day — Parade, Immortal Regiment, Fireworks
May 9 in Tula features a military parade at Lenin Square, the Immortal Regiment march, concerts, and festive fireworks in the evening. The hostel is a 10-15 minute walk from the square. The Tula Defenders Memorial and the city defense museum are right in the center. Tula is a Hero City, and Victory Day is celebrated here with special grandeur.
Budget: 10 Days Cheaper Than One Hotel Night
10 days at the hostel — from 4,000₽. For comparison: Tula hotels during May holidays charge 5,000-10,000₽ per night. Lastochka round trip — from 1,200₽. Total May holidays — from 5,200₽ per person for 10 days. The kitchen saves another 500-1,000₽ per day on meals.
