It is a great museum where you can find everything related to Karelian culture. We spent around two and a half hours there and learned a lot about Karelian culture, from their lifestyle to traditions. Very informative place. If you visit Petrozavodsk, you should visit there. Highly recommended!

It has a lot of rooms with expositions

Very nice little museum. Had a good tour. Learned lots of things about Karelia.

Charming small museum

History of karelia

(Translated by Google) An ordinary museum. There are many exhibits and they are interesting, but the presentation of information needs to be worked on! In each room, you have to read the canvases of text written in small print (sometimes the signs with the font are on the wall behind the glass, try to read it). The inscriptions on the glass are half-erased, again - they are difficult to read, especially if the font is black against the background of a black exhibit. (attached a photo) Some exhibits have no numbers at all, figure out what is what as you want 🤷🏻‍♀️There is nothing interactive either. (Original) Обычный музей. Экспонатов много и они интересные, но над подачей информации надо работать! В каждом зале читать полотна текста, написанного мелким шрифтом (иногда таблички с шрифтом находятся на стене за стеклом, попробуй прочитай). На стеклах надписи полустертые, опять же - их тяжело читать, особенно если черный шрифт на фоне черного экспоната. (прикрепила фото) На некоторых экспонатах вообще нет чисел, разбирайся что есть что как хочешь🤷🏻‍♀️Ничего интерактивного тоже нет.

(Translated by Google) Very large and interesting museum. Good choice of souvenirs. (Original) Очень большой и интересный музей. Хороший выбор сувениров.

(Translated by Google) The most interesting place in Petrozavodsk. Beautiful even in late autumn. Lots of interesting art objects. You can rent scooters, and there are many exercise machines in the park. There are plenty of parking spaces along the entire embankment, in front of the puppet theater. Ticket offices for departure to Kizhi are located on the street. Karl Marx. (Original) Самое интересное место в Петрозаводске. Прекрасно даже поздней осенью. Много интересных арт-объектов. Можно взять на прокат самокаты, в парке множество тренажеров. Много парковочных мест на протяжении всей набережной, перед кукольным театром. Кассы для отправления на Кижи находятся на ул. Карла Маркса.

(Translated by Google) Opened in June 1994, in honor of the 50th anniversary of the liberation of Petrozavodsk in the Great Patriotic War. There are a lot of sculptures on the embankment, donated by different countries: Finland, USA, Latvia, Germany. (Original) Открыта в июне 1994 года, в честь 50-летия освобождения Петрозаводска в Великой Отечественной войне. На набережной очень много скульптур, подаренных разными странами: Финляндией, США, Латвией, Германией.

(Translated by Google) A very pleasant place for a walk in good weather: clean, a lot of art objects with history, not even worth talking about the lake itself - perfect at any time of the day or season. (Original) Очень приятное место для прогулки в хорошую погоду: чисто, много арт-объектов с историей, про само озеро и говорить не стоит - прекрасно в любое время суток и время года.

(Translated by Google) A wonderful city, cozy and calm. Onega embankment is a place for walks and recreation for city residents and tourists. I really liked it (Original) Замечательный город, уютный и спокойный. Набережная Онеги место прогулок и отдыха жителей города и туристов. Очень понравилось

(Translated by Google) Another “object” out of a dozen unfinished “Buryat technologies” only on the Petrozavodsk Embankment - the republic’s money flows directly to unscrupulous contractors, the courts of the city on the Neva, etc. (Original) Очередной "объект"из десятка незавершенных только на Набережной Петрозаводска "бурятские технологии"-деньги республики перетекают заведма недобросовестным подрядчикам, судам города на Неве и т.д.

(Translated by Google) The Petrozavodsk embankment is located on Lake Onega. Clean, well-groomed, long. There are many sculptures along the entire length, which is interesting for tourists. There are exercise machines that many people use. You can go on excursions from the pier; tickets are also sold here. There are kiosks with souvenirs. There is an amusement park nearby. There are restaurants and cafes. (Original) Набережная Петрозаводска находится на Онежском озере. Чистая, ухоженная, длинная. По всей длине расположено много скульптур, что интересно для туриста. Есть тренажёры, на которых занимается много людей. С причала можно отправиться по экскурсиям, билеты так же продают здесь. Стоят киоски с сувенирами. Недалеко расположен парк с аттракционами. Есть рестораны и кафе.

(Translated by Google) Definitely a pleasant tourist place! Well maintained, clean, comfortable. Onega Bay looks very impressive. A true northern expanse. I liked the art objects, I was very pleased with the presence of a real open-air fitness room and the number of people working out there. In general, Petrozavodsk made an excellent impression with its cleanliness, comfort, and friendly citizens! (Original) Категорически приятное туристическое место! Ухожено, чисто, комфортно. Онежская губа выглядит очень впечатляюще. Настоящий северный простор. Понравились арт-объекты, очень порадовало наличие настоящего фитнесс зала под открытым небом, и количество занимающихся там людей. Вообще, Петрозаводск произвел отличное впечатление чистотой, уютом, и приветливыми горожанами!

Recommended place to see in Petrozavodsk with Alexander Nevsky monument.

Peaceful

(Translated by Google) Cathedral. Magnificent classical architecture. Built between 1826 and 1832. Architect Pietro Carlo Maderni. In 1929 it was closed and transferred to the local history museum, and all 5 domes were demolished. It’s good that it did not suffer the fate of the Cathedral of the Descent of the Holy Spirit, which was completely destroyed in 1936. Located in a small park. (Original) Кафедральный собор. Великолепная классическая архитектура. Строился 1826—1832 годах. Архитектор Пьетро Карло Мадерни. В 1929 году был закрыт и передан краеведческому музею, при этом были снесены все 5 куполов. Хорошо еще, что его не постигла участь кафедрального собор Сошествия Святого Духа полностью разрушенного в 1936 году. Находится в небольшом парке.

(Translated by Google) A beautiful, rich cathedral. There is a well-kept, chic park around, there is a parking lot, but the Temple did not inspire awe in me, I don’t know why... Perhaps because until recently there was a local history museum here.)) (Original) Красивый, богатый собор. Ухоженный,шикарный парк вокруг,есть парковка,но Храм у меня благоговения не вызвал,не знаю почему... Возможно потому,что ещё недавно сдесь был краеведческий музей.))

(Translated by Google) A very beautiful cathedral, both inside and outside. There is a service in the cathedral, there are many icons, you can light candles. (Original) Очень красивый собор, как внутри, так и снаружи. В соборе проходит служба, много икон, можно поставить свечи.

(Translated by Google) It's cool, like being in a big village. The region does not look like a capital. And in such a remote place there is such a majestic cathedral!) (Original) Прикольно, как в большой деревне. На столицу края не тянет. И в таком захолустье такой величественный собор!)

(Translated by Google) This is a special place and each of us comes here to the extent of our spiritual enlightenment and symbolism of faith in God, the unity of the Clergy and the Russian Orthodox Church, I advise everyone to come and visit the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral at least 2 times a month, to know at least 3 three prayers by heart: Our Father; Jesus Christ or Mother of God; about the deceased for the repose of their souls; It is also advisable to learn the song of the Creed; Well, when you arrive, it’s definitely better to light candles a little earlier before the start of the service: on the right side of the Temple for health; on the left, at the foot of the crucifixion of Christ for the repose (without crossing ourselves and without bowing), we read only a prayer for the repose of the soul and the name of the deceased; I wish you all pleasant spiritual balance and peace, God bless you. (Original) Это особое место и каждый из нас бывает здесь в меру своей духовной просвещенности и символичности веры в Бога, единства Духовенства и Русской Православной Церкви, всем советую заходить и посещать Храм собор Александра Невского не реже 2-х раз в месяц, знать хотя бы 3 три молитвы наизусть: Отче наш; Иисусу Христу или Божьей Матери; о усопших за упокой души; еще желательно выучить песнь Символ Веры; ну и обязательно по приходу лучше чуть раньше перед началом службы ставить свечи: по правой стороне Храма за здравие; по левой у подножия распятия Христа за упокой ( не крестясь и не отдавая поклон) читаем только молитву за упокой души и имя покойного; всем приятного духовного равновесия и умиротворения, Храни Вас Бог.

(Translated by Google) I liked the performance, the acting, their excellent command of the Finnish language, including pronunciation and intonation. The interior of the theater is modern, it is pleasant to be in it, you get real pleasure. (Original) Мне понравился спектакль, игра актёров,их отличное владение финским языком, включая произношение и интонации. Интерьер театра современный, приятно находиться в нем,получаешь истинное удовольствие.

(Translated by Google) Excellent actors, I went to the Christmas tree with my child two years in a row, two elegant halls, a pleasant administrator. The productions are interesting - they don’t overact. Everything is great, we’ll go))) (Original) Отличные актёры, ходили с ребёнком на ёлку два года подряд, два нарядных холла, приятный администратор. Постановки интересные- не переигрывают. Всё супер, будем ходить)))

(Translated by Google) We enjoy going with the whole family. Performances for children and adults are always performed at the highest level. Polite staff, reasonable prices, actors put their whole soul into their roles. As a result, every trip to the theater is an event and a holiday for everyone! (Original) С удовольствием ходим всей семьёй. Детские и взрослые спектакли всегда проходят на высшем уровне. Вежливый персонал, приемлемые цены, актёры вкладывают всю душу в роль. В результате каждый поход в театр это целое событие и праздник для всех!

(Translated by Google) We watched the play "Splash of Champagne" I really liked the acting! Wonderful Finnish language, excellent pronunciation! Despite the fact that the performance took place in a small hall, we did not experience any inconvenience. It was even more interesting to watch the actors play. It gave the impression of direct participation in the action. The theater is very beautiful and cozy. The wardrobe work is 5 plus. All sanitary safety requirements are met in the theater. Thank you very much to the theater team. We hope to become your regular viewers. (Original) Посмотрели спектакль "Брызги шампанского" Очень понравилась игра актеров! Замечательный финский язык, отличное произношение! Несмотря на то, что спектакль прошел в малом зале, неудобства мы не испытали. Еще интереснее было наблюдать за игрой актеров. Создавалось впечатление непосредственного участия в действии. Театр очень красивый, уютный. Работа гардероба на 5 с плюсом.В театре соблюдены все требования санитарной безопасности . Спасибо большое коллективу театра. Надеемся стать вашими постоянными зрителями.

(Translated by Google) I love this theater! I attended many performances, some 5-6 times!!! The actors are amazing, special thanks to everyone for the emotions they gave. The costumes and sets are always top notch. The only thing that confuses me is the monophonic, often delayed translation into headphones during performances in Finnish. This is terribly distracting, stressful and does not help at all to plunge into the atmosphere of the action. (Original) Обожаю этот театр! Посетила множество спектаклей, некоторые по 5-6 раз!!! Актёры потрясающие, каждому - отдельное спасибо за подаренные эмоции. Костюмы и декорации всегда выше похвал. Одно только меня смущает: это одноголосый часто запаздывающий перевод в наушники на спектаклях на финском языке. Это ужасно отвлекает, напрягает и совершенно не помогает окунуться в атмосферу действия.

(Translated by Google) Great place. Was there for the first time. I really liked it and it left a lot of impressions. The acting is top notch. One of the downsides is that they played in Karelian, there was translation through headphones, and the translator translated everything in one voice, monotonously. But if we ignore this, then everything is fine. I will definitely go to the theater again, and I advise many people to visit. (Original) Прекрасное место. Был там впервые. Очень понравилось осталась масса впечатлений. Игра актеров на высшем уровне. Из минусов, т.к играли на карельском языке, шел перевод через наушники, и переводчик переводил всё в один голос, монотонно. Но если отвлечься от этого, то всё прекрасно. Обязательно схожу в театр ещё раз, и многим советую посетить.

(Translated by Google) We were in this theater for the first time at the play “House with Windows on a Field.” Great performance! Thank you for your reverent attitude towards the viewer and your work! Good luck and creative victories! (Original) Были впервые в этом театре на спектакле "Дом окнами в поле". Прекрасный спектакль! Благодарю за трепетное отношение к зрителю и своей работе! Удачи вам и творческих побед!

Interesting excursion about Historical Maritime Industry in Russia and nearby states

(Translated by Google) We thoroughly enjoyed the excursion conducted by your wonderful “first mate and navigator” Alina. Great, interesting, curious! I really liked the exhibits, but thanks to Alina, we literally visited those places that she talked about so fascinatingly, it was great that we could feel and touch some of the exhibits, we left the museum in complete delight! Alina is very smart, I wish there were more such interesting, fascinating, intriguing guides! Just 5+!!! And to your museum of prosperity and growth! We are looking forward to meeting you again!! Thank you!!! (Original) Получили огромное удовольствие от экскурсии проведённой вашей замечательной «старпомом и штурманом» Алиной. Здорово, интересно, любопытно! Очень понравились экспонаты, но благодаря Алине мы в буквально побывали на тех местах, о которых она рассказывала столь увлекательно, было здорово что могли ощутить и потрогать некоторые экспонаты, вышли из музея в полном восторге! Алина большая умничка, побольше бы таких интересных, увлекательных, интригующих экскурсоводов! Просто 5+!!! А Вашему музею процветания и роста! Ждём новой встречи!! Спасибо!!!

(Translated by Google) An interesting museum run by enthusiasts. You can see, touch, and take photos of everything in the museum. It's educational not only for children but also for adults. Thanks to our tour guide, Sergei Petrovich, for the engaging conversation. The tour included a display of exhibits, as well as photographs and videos. I hope such a museum survives! And to maintain it, we need the support of the regional administration and the government. (Original) Интересный музей, который держится на энтузиастах. В музее можно все посмотреть, потрогать, сделать фотографии. Познавательно не только детям, но и взрослым. Экскурсоводу Сергею Петровичу спасибо за интересную беседу. Экскурсия сопровождалось показом экспонатов, а также фотографиями и роликами. Хотелось бы, чтобы такой музей сохранился! А чтобы все поддерживать нужна помощь администрации края и правительства.

(Translated by Google) The museum clearly lacks funding. There is slight devastation. In general, thanks to the people who work there, the museum is interesting, the excursion was extremely educational. It was just the two of us and everything went over in 2 hours, we don’t regret it. They told the story in such detail, with photographs, exhibits, etc. All liked it. In the museum you can touch everything and go everywhere. Prepare 100 rubles for the firecracker. But it's worth it. (Original) Музею однозначно не хватает финансирования. Присутствует лёгкая разруха. В целом благодаря людям, которые там работают, музей интересный, экскурсия была крайне познавательная. Мы были вдвоем и все прошло за 2 часа, не жалеем. Настолько подробно рассказали историю, с фотографиями экспонатами и тд Всё понравилось. В музее всё можно трогать и везде заходить. За петарду приготовьте 100р. Но оно того стоит.

(Translated by Google) Excellent maritime museum. Tour guide Eric gave an excellent tour of the ships and the museum itself. Ships, both active and not afloat. Very interesting. Especially with a guide. Lots of interactive things. You will not regret. (Original) Отличный морской музей. Экскурсовод Эрик провел прекрасную экскурсию по кораблями и по самому музею. Корабли как действующие, так и находящиеся не на плаву. Очень интересно. Особенно с экскурсоводом. Много интерактивных штучек. Не пожалеете.

(Translated by Google) Very interesting. You can touch everything, try it on, photos are welcome. Ring the bell. Entrance 200 rubles per person, 200 rubles for half an hour boat ride, +300 to the water ticket per person - personal excursion. Children under 6 years old are free. (Original) Очень интересно. Можно все потрогать, примерить, фото приветсвуется. Позвонить в колокол. Вход 200 руб с человека, 200 руб полчаса покататься на лодке, +300 к водному билету с человека - персональная экскурсия. Дети до 6 лет бесплатно.

(Translated by Google) It was very difficult to find it, because we were traveling with a group of children on a city bus and walked from the stop. In fact, we got off at a stop further, because neither the driver nor the passengers on the bus could clearly tell us where to get off. The entrance to the club leaves much to be desired, as does the appearance of the territory, but the stories of the guides and the ships themselves, both outside and inside, make an indelible impression! (Original) Было очень сложно найти его, т.к. мы ехали группой детей на городском автобусе и с остановки шли пешком. Фактически вышли на остановку дальше, т.к. ни водитель, ни пассажиры в автобусе не смогли однозначно сказать, где выходить. Вход в клуб оставляет желать лучшего, как и внешний вид территории, но вот рассказы экскурсоводов и сами корабли, как снаружи, так и внутри, производят неизгладимое впечатление!

Good place with nice staff, tasty food and moderate prices. Highly recommend

Unfortunately we had a very bad experience with the staff performance. Food was really good. But service was extremely slow. e.g. I ordered three cups of coffee at 12:17 pm. Waiter brought it at 12:39 pm. Main dish was made in 52 min. Based on my observation.

Great food, good prices, friendly staff. Had great Russian meals and vodka. We let our waiter choose our meals and all were tasty and cooked perfectly. He also took time to explain as much in English as possible. Thank you George.

One of the best restaurants I've ever visited in Russia. Much better than the better ones in the capitals. It's like an upscale one, but with adequate prices. And they know it, they have the huge queues for the dinner, so it's better to reserve a day before.

Great place with a wonderful menu full of interpretations of local cuisine, and good service. I always bring there my friends who visit Petrozavodsk for the first time. Central location along with affordable prices are a plus, too. My personal favorites: “Похлёбка из дичи” and “Кундюмы с белыми грибами”. The restaurant is quite busy on weekends and holidays, so make sure to have a booking :)

Excellent food at an excellent price, including local specialties (moose, reindeer, northern pike). Fast service and polite staff. Last but not least, a very convenient location.

Delicious local food. Very friendly service. fair prices. Better to book a table in advance. Highlight.

Really nice and posh looking place close to the lake, food is good but the service is a bit slow. The lounge area is cozy, well lit and warm. The menu is elaborate with pictures and description in both Russian and English. The collection of wines is quite decent.

Had Birthday party at this restaurant. Called administrators to organize the party several days in a row. Finally, Oksana rejected the idea to have a cooking class or rent the whole room for it. We were told that it was reserved for some wedding. When we came in to the restaurant to dine out with guests, it was no wedding in the room. The server was nice, however, he didn’t suggest anything special, and we had ask him to bring everything. No special vibe at the restaurant, just a great location near the lake. Regarding the food, it was mediocre and served at cold temperature. Mussels were not fresh and platter seemed empty for the price. Little embarrassed in front of guests as it seemed a commercialized Tourist trap.

Nice dishes, not big portions, it's okay. Little bit overpriced

Very bad service in this restaurant. I spent 30 minutes just waiting for a waiter and food was average. I’m upset with quality in here

Very good restaurant! Very good view on the lake , perfect and cozy design. good staff ! Don't change anything I'll be back!

They didn't have dry white wine! But the fish was good and the view is nice.

Ideal place. Low prices, nice staff, everything was extremely tasty. 200% recommended!

Nice pleasant place with comfortable sitting have cafe with dinner also have alcoholic beverages. Good environment with music

Expecting more, food was kind of disappointing. Anyway atmosphere was good and service was good.

The food was delivered 1 hour later, separately in time frame for 2 people. We were on the second floor. Ignorance of servers amazed us - it took us over an hour to pay the bill with cash. Servers were not motivated and didn’t want to work. Young girls - servers turned around and avoided the contact with any customers purposely. Won’t return to this place anymore.

Nice place, very good food. I particularly enjoy breakfast

Cozy place. They have an English menu, which is a very good thing for foreigners.

My family and I visited the Кухня in summer 2019' It was unusual experience in the world of bistros and restaurants. This place is unique. Why? Because the atmosphere is comfortable, waitresses are polite and the food is very tasty. The service 10/10. I am studying in Moscow and sometimes visit St. Petersburg. I can say that during my last 3 years I didn't meet such a perfect place to eat and spend time. I wish the Кухня to open in Moscow and St. Petersburg.

Interior looks promising. I like here so far.

It's not one of the best places, but it's "good enough". Dezhavyu is where you go to have very cheap meals of decent quality. Especially given the open hours - (by the time this is written) up till 2 a.m. in the night.

The worst service ever. Waited for 20 min for the server to show up. She moved us for the smaller table and waited for 50 min for the other server to show up in the empty restaurant. The cold and burnt meal came in after 30 min after the order. We ordered lots of food. Everything looked and tasted horrible, including wine. We waited for the server to show up with the check but she went home and didn’t tell us. We went to the server to cash out. Would never recommend this location. Worst place ever.

Very good. Tasty food. Very cheap prices. Always busy

Good food for reasonable price. The service is also reasonable for the price (no service) 😄

Really nice and really cheap cafe with simple yet great food

one of the best cafes in Petrozavodsk with traditional menu and excellent service. I come here now for 12 years.

Very tasty breakfast and the cheapest (but not bad) coffee in the city
