Irkutsk is one of the great cities of Siberia and is known for its location close to Lake Baikal, one of the highlights of Russian nature. The city’s history began with Ivan Pokhabov’s trading post in 1652, and it developed rapidly with first road connection to Moscow in 1760 and later also as an important station on the Trans-Siberian Railway.
Many buildings from the history of Irkutsk have been preserved. These include about old wooden houses and the churches for which Irkutsk is known. The Holy Cross Church from the middle of the 18th century is a beautiful example of the fine Siberian Baroque, which you can see in several places in the city, where there are a number of 18th century churches.
You should also take a walk in the area Quarter 130. Here old wooden houses stand next to each other and give a fine impression of former Irkutsk. Not far from here you are in the city’s modern center, where you can also find many beautiful buildings from not least the late 1800s to today.
On a trip to Irkutsk, a visit to Lake Baikal is a must for most people and it is a great experience. It is the deepest lake in the world and the richest in water, and it lies like a sea in Siberia with a special nature around it. In the area you can e.g. see the famous Baikal seal and an interesting open-air museum with houses and architecture from Siberia.
