Weekend in Tula — a 2-Day Plan
Saturday: Kremlin, Museums & Embankment
Morning — breakfast in the hostel kitchen. A 10-minute walk — and you're at the Tula Kremlin. Weapons Museum, Gingerbread Museum, Kazan Embankment — enough for a full day. In the evening, stroll along Metallistov pedestrian street and try Tula gingerbreads at a local cafe.
Sunday: Yasnaya Polyana & Journey Home
Morning — trip to Leo Tolstoy's Yasnaya Polyana estate (15 km from the hostel, 20 minutes by car). Park, house museum, 19th-century atmosphere. After lunch — a comfortable ride back to Moscow: 2 hours by Lastochka express or via the M2 highway.
Budget: 2 Days in Tula Cheaper Than Lunch in Moscow
2 nights at the hostel — from 800₽. Lastochka round trip — from 1,200₽. Total trip — from 2,000₽ per person. For comparison: one night in a Tula hotel costs 3,000–5,000₽. Save money — and still stay in the center, 800 m from the Kremlin.
