Here tourists can visit the Bezhin Lea from Turgenev’s books, the first Russian battlefield — Kulikovo Field, and, of course, the world’s largest museum of arms with a multimedia exposition. It also has the world’s largest collection of cold and firearms.
Other famous Tula brands are Tula accordion and gingerbread. The tradition of Tula tea parties with samovars, gingerbread and Belyov pastila has been maintained throughout centuries. Tourists can visit a confectionery factory and make their own gingerbread.
