After meeting with a guide at the hotel, you get to the train station to  catch a commuter train (approximately 2 hours) to Kolomna. Upon arrival you take the tram or a taxi to get to the center to explore the historic past.

The spiritual centre of the town is Cathedral Square with its beautiful a view on the place where the Kolomenka river flows into the Moscow river.
Kolomna revives old tranditions and opens unusual museums, among them is “The Museum of the forgotten taste – Kolomna’s Marshmallow”. In the past Kolomna was famous for delicious marshmallow produce. Catherine the Great herself tasted this treat during her visit to Kolomna. In the course of time the recipe got lost and only recently it has been found in the old archives. In this museum you will try the forgotten taste of different kinds of marshmallow as well as learn some interesting information about this sweet.

The museum is actually a recreated bakery of the old style. During the tour yo will hear the story of  unusual ingridients and the process of making.
