About City

When someone asks if you’ve ever been to Tver, Russia, you might think they’re talking about a street in Moscow with a similar name. In fact, Tver is a separate (albeit somewhat small) city about two hours northwest of the capital. Although far smaller than any of Russia’s major cities, Tver is an interesting place to spend a day or two. If you’re on the lookout for things to do in Tver, Russia, start your search here.

From the outside, the palace of Putevoy Dvorets might not seem not much, particularly if you’ve previously had a chance to visit some of the opulent royal complexes in Moscow and St. Petersburg. However, Tver’s most famous structure has an impressive backstory. Namely, that it served as a resting point for famed Russian Tsarina Catherine the Great on her journeys between Russia’s two largest cities during the 18th century. These days, an art gallery resides within the Palace, which makes it even more worth a visit on your trip to Tver.

Of course, it’s not just history and nature that’s appealing about the prospect of a trip to Tver. The city has a rich religious heritage as well, connectedly mostly to the Russian Orthodox branch of Christianity. Visit the humble Church of St. Michael of Tver, for example, to admire an understated and relatively traditional example of this sort of architecture, or the Orshin Voznesenskiy Monastery to walk through a slightly larger and more ornate structure.

Tea might not be a beverage you typically associate with Russia, but the Muzey Tverskogo Byta museum helps dispel that notion. Though the exhibits here are particular to the practices of tea making and drinking in Tver, there’s also information about the consumption of tea in Russia as a whole (including details on the traditional Samovar used to brew tea leaves). After you finish enjoying the exhibition, you’ll have the opportunity to purchase some tea (though you’ll have to head to the flea markets of Trekhsvyatskaya Street if you want to purchase your very own Samovar to take home).
