Tula Blomst Levering (Florist)

If you have a crush on Russian weapons, Tula is the right place for you. Everything here is heavily steeped in armament and military equipment. Sergey Mosin, Fyodor Tokarev, Nikolai Makarov, Igor Stechkin invented their guns in here.
Nowadays, Tula serves as the industrial and administrative and center of the Tulskaya oblast with the population of 486 000, i.e. half a million people.
There are more than 290 objects of cultural heritage within the urban territory of Tula including monuments, Orthodox churches, and museums and so on. The city is famous for its cookies, or prianiks, made from cinnamon, eggs, flour of the highest quality, honey and butter. The learners of the Russian language know a very popular proverb “You don’t have to take any samovars to Tula”. A samovar is a boiling pot used by Russians for making black tea. That place was the largest manufacturing center of samovars in the Russian empire. So, the museums dedicated to samovars and prianiks are a must-see as well. Buying local prianiks is strongly recommended.
The Central Park of Culture and Recreation is the largest park in the city. It was named after Doctor Piotr Belousov. Initially, there was a big city dump on the site of the park. It sounds funny but it is true. The local doctor who used to serve as a health officer in the Russian army initiated recultivation of that area in 1893. The waste was covered with new black soil. Moreover, several hundreds of the trees were planted, such as Phellodendron amurense, Quercus rubra, Siberian pine etc. In XXI century, it is the place for any kind of activities and having fun for all ages: biking, playing chess, having a snack, strolling, rollerblading under the trees – you name it. A lot of parents avail themselves of an opportunity to teach their children the names of trees and flowers. Daisies, roses, tulips, lilac, gladioluses, asters are second to none at the Central park of Tula. The flower magic around here is from Spring until late fall time.
