About Tomsk
This Siberian university city endures with extraordinary carved wooden houses that seem to defy the harsh climate, their intricate facades telling stories of 19th-century prosperity. Tomsk's position on the Tom River made it wealthy during the tsarist era, and that architectural heritage survives in miniature palaces hidden in residential blocks. Walking these streets feels like navigating a time capsule.
