Kaluga

Kaluga is the cradle of cosmonautics; the great Russian scientist Konstantin Tsiolkovsky lived and worked here. Among the city's attractions are the K.E. Tsiolkovsky State Museum of the History of Cosmonautics, the K.E. Tsiolkovsky Park of Culture and Recreation, the Kaluga Drama Theater, the Peter the Great House Museum, and Gostiny Dvor. If you're looking for a place to eat in Kaluga, be sure to visit the restaurants serving local cuisine. We recommend trying Kaluga cabbage soup with mushrooms, stewed pork with prunes, and the traditional drink sbiten. Stay at an AZIMUT hotel for your vacation; you'll be pleasantly surprised by the prices.
