Things to Do  

Dancing on ice

Dancing on ice, Tyumen'

 Kevross85 Says:  One of the most enjoyable things we did in Tyumen was to go ice skating. We went to the outdoor ice rink in the main centre of the town and it was very enjoyable. You can hire skates from the rink or take your own if you have although the hire skates aren't the best and have... 

Bridge

Bridge, Tyumen'

 bugulma Says:  In the end of Republic Street there is a pedestrian bridge. I recommend you to stay on it and look around. There are really beautiful views of the city. I saw that many people walked there, it's popular local place for having a rest.

Casa Mia: Italian food in Tyumen

Casa Mia: Italian food in Tyumen, Tyumen'

 babbeeface Says:  Went there many times. It's quite good. Used to love it before I went to Italy and discovered what real Italian cuisine is like. Really, the dishes are tasty and service quite efficient for Russia, but if you are very particular about little details, you can get... 

Casa Mia: Some decent food

Casa Mia: Some decent food, Tyumen'

 Kevross85 Says:  Casa Mia is an italian which is very good if you don't speak russian as the menu is in english as well so this is the first plus point you see. Then you get onto the fact that the food is actually pretty good for russia. The staff can speak a little bit of english which is... 

Grill master: Bad burger

Grill master: Bad burger, Tyumen'

 Kevross85 Says:  The place from the outside looks like any other fast food place around the world and was clean and well presented. The problems arose once we got the food. The first thing I didn't like was that right in front of your face they put the food in the microwave which you really... 

Tsuru

Tsuru, Tyumen'

 bugulma Says:  Japanese restaurant Tsuru (The Crane) is situated on the main and long Respubliki Street, close to the end of it but still not far from the central part of the city. The interior is nice. The funny thing the waiters haven't Asian appearance that I got used to in Japanese... 

Irish Bar

Irish Bar, Tyumen'

 bugulma Says:  Not far from Tyumen' and Prometey hotels there is Irish Pub with Guiness, Harp, Newcastle Ale as well as with other sorts of beer. It is cute place to relax. Here I found my new love, Newcastle Ale and Jameson Whiskey that were both recomended by my friend. 

Art-Boulevard

Art-Boulevard, Tyumen'

 bugulma Says:  An interesting interior and the architecture-style cafe. It is situated on the crossing of Respubliki Street and Maksim Gorky Street and looks like mini-circus or smth (at least I saw such construction of circus in many cities of former USSR). The service is good and the... 

Nightlife  

Ultra: dance till your hearts content

Ultra: dance till your hearts content, Tyumen'

 Kevross85 Says:  We went to this club a few times and it was a pretty nice place to go finish your night. Each night we went there was a different show taking place from dancing girls to cabarat. This is normally in the early hours before the dance music kicks in. Once the dance music kicks... 

Manhatten

Manhatten, Tyumen'

 bugulma Says:  Manhatten club is situated in Hotel Tyumen' (Ordzhanikidze Street 46) in the undeground hall. The entrance for the hotel guests are free and I have no idea what is usual price. The music is quite enough energetic in different style. There are 2 DJs on the dance floor. I... 

Transportation  

From the center to Airport by taxi

From the center to Airport by taxi, Tyumen'

 agepiroshiki Says:  The price was 500 RUB. I guess it was slightly higher than the standard price. I did not have no time to negotiate for price to be in time to the flight and I found only one taxi. 300-400 RUB would be reasonable. It took 30-40 minutes to the airport. 

Lada Taxis

Lada Taxis, Tyumen'

 Kevross85 Says:  Walking was obviously a main stay of getting around just like in any city. A main way to get around bigger distances when it is cold or you are in a hurry is to get a taxi. There are lots of them going about and it doesn't normally take long to get one. One problem can be... 

To...

To..., Tyumen'

 bugulma Says:  The most comfortable way to get Tyumen' is airplane of course. The region is considered to be rich cause of oil and gas in the region and the tickets are really expensive. For example, the ticket to and back by UTair aircraft is RUR 10 000 - 11 000 (EUR 290-320) to and back... 

Local Customs  

"World" Trade Center

"World" Trade Center, Tyumen'

 bugulma Says:  It was really funny for me to see a World Trade Center in Syberia :-)) Nevertheless you see it exists and has so loudy name. :-) It is exhibition center as well as the hotel is situated within. You can see the building on Republic Street. 

Warnings Or Dangers  

Local police

Local police, Tyumen'

 Kevross85 Says:  It's not a real danger just a warning. The police like to stop you if you look foreign and check your visa so just a small tip carry your passport on you at all times to avoid any trouble especially if you don't speak russian as the communication can be very hard. 

Tourist Traps

What to Pack  

Winter warmers

Winter warmers, Tyumen'

 Kevross85 Says:   Make sure that you take plenty of warm clothes for the winter as it does get very cold. Another thing which is key for the winter is a good pair of shoes with grips as it is very icey here and they also like to put a lot of marble down. This can all be bought here if...

Making life easy

Making life easy, Tyumen'

 Kevross85 Says:  One thing which will make your life so much easier is to try to learn a bit of basic russian before you go. Hardly anyone speaks english and therefore this makes ordering food or trying to gt directions etc very difficult. A small bit of russian goes a long way and may help...
