Pryanik Museum

TIME : 2016/2/19 0:03:28

Tula is renowned Russia-wide for its pryaniki (inscribed ginger cakes). The sweet-toothed can find out all about them at this one-room museum in a bakery that has been churning them out in all shapes and sizes – check out the monster 16kg loaf! – since 1881. It’s more of a prelude to shopping and eating at the attached shop and cafe (8am to 8pm) than a hugely educational experience.
