There are 37 UNESCO monuments in the Novgorod region, and only in this land you can read the history on birch bark letters. The richest collection of bells and chimes from all over the world, a unique biosphere park, water rafting routes, the oldest balneological resort, a 17th century monastery complex with a miracle-working icon - the exposition of the Novgorod region at the RUSSIA EXPO invites tourists to get acquainted with the richest natural, cultural and historical heritage of the land.

At the stand of the Novgorod region at the RUSSIA EXPO you will be guided not only along the mysterious Valdai trails, but will also be introduced to dozens of other interesting tourist destinations. Here millennial history and the future are intertwined in a fairy-tale immersive art story.

On weekends you can learn the basics of playing the gusli (psaltery) or the ancient balalaika, take part in masterclasses - for example, learn to weave birch bark, mint coins or weave Krestetsky stitching.

Interesting facts:

— Valdai National Park is one of the 6 major watersheds of planetary scale. Not a drop of river water enters it from outside.

— The first birch bark writing in Novgorod was discovered in 1954 at the Nerevsky excavation. More than a thousand birch bark letters have been found so far.
