Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Museum
Decembrists Museum in Chita
Housed in the former wooden Church of St Michael the Archangel, the Decembrists Museum traces the 1825 uprising, exile in Siberia and family life in Chita. The visit combines exhibitions with the building's history; check which galleries and guided tours are available.
Religious building
Our Lady of Kazan Cathedral
On Butina Street, Our Lady of Kazan Cathedral is recognisable by its pale facades and golden domes. It remains part of Chita's religious life: appreciate its architecture from the public space and check the site's rules before entering.
Natural landscape
Titovskaya Hill
Titovskaya Hill rises above Chita and its valley landscape. Sukhotino ethnopark presents the archaeology of its slopes and offers discovery trails. Choose an open trail and check access before setting out.
Museum
A. K. Kuznetsov Transbaikal Regional Museum
At 113 Babushkina Street, the regional museum presents collections on Transbaikal’s archaeology and cultures. Its exhibitions offer a broader view of the region than the Decembrists story alone. Check the programme and open galleries before visiting.
