Favorite thing: Irkutsk is a wonderful town in my opinion! It is fun to walk along the old city center, to do some shopping or to discover the beautiful surrounding!

Fondest memory: Always the first shower after three days on the train!
Updated Sep 3, 2006
Favorite thing: check out Youth Island and stroll along Yuri Gagarin Boulevard. Not only does about 85% of the youth in the city go hang out there, but it's really beautiful. i would try to check out all the museums and theatres there, Dramaticheskii, Musikalnii, philarmonii etc, where you can hear some fabulous musicians and artists, and see some really nice internal architecture in the Dramaticheskii teatre.
Fondest memory: i actually miss the inexpensive ice cream that you can buy almost anywhere on the street in little stands. even when it's -20C outside, it was always great.

Favorite thing: In Irkutsk sharply continental climate. In the winter very coldly, and it is very hot in the summer. A difference between day time and night temperature big enough. If in the summer day time temperature about +30 degrees at night it can be +5, 8.

Favorite thing: Well, with work keeping me busy, it was hard to see anything more than the inside of the hotel and some 'business tour' locations that 'were determined ahead of time'. Either way, the best part my trip to Irkutsk was definitely Lake Baikal. A wonderful lake (and, for you Guiness Book of Records Fans -- the deepest lake in the world!), it is incredibly beautiful and undeveloped....there are some 'modern hotels' and accommodations but they are still only few -- Yea! for us. It is still very much 'family cottage territory' -- cottages dot the landscape and it brought back endless memories of summer's spent at my friends' cabins at the lake. Simply fabulous.....
Fondest memory: The people. Although I was a little 'put off' at first by the tough, macho, 'too direct and not friendly enough' comments and conversations that I received or was a party to, after a while, all of this blended away and I realized that it was just the exterior. And, as generalizing as it might sound, after having a few good, strong, straight glasses of 'Moskovoskya' (I think that's what it was called but, honestly, I was plastered!!) with the 'guys' and you were one of the group. I have never met such warm people (the vodka might have helped)....and it wasn't even winter yet!!

We spent a very enjoyable week in Irkutsk in Nov 2004. The highlight was undoubtedly the day trip we took down to Lake Baikal, but there's plenty to do in Irkutsk itself. It's a very attractive city,...
