Welcome to Irkutsk!

Irkutsk is an unique old city, the ancient crossroads of trade routes, the capital of Eastern Siberia. Proximity of sacred lake Baikal, the Angara and the Irkut rivers determines the soul of the city and its people: calm, kind, patient and generous.

Irkutsk stands in the middle of Asia, at the main traffic arteries that connect Europe with the Far-Eastern parts of Russia and The Pacific Rim countries. The city celebrated its 350th birthday in 2011, is famous for the wooden architecture objects and Siberian Baroque churches. The Irkutsk’s historical center was added to the preliminary World Heritage Site list.
