6. Hedwig

What they sell: rare books, fandom merchandise, handmade souvenirs. In general, this is a store of good books, author's postcards, and unusual souvenirs, which coquettishly calls itself “non-author, non-adult, and dependent.” A great point on the map of creative Tula with its own vision, love for the objects presented and for which “everyone is their own” even if you are in the “Hedwig" for the first time. 

Address: Accounting lane, 2

7. Bookseller
Second-hand bookstores are the best story to understand a city through people. It's doubly good when you understand a city through people and books. And if you add to all this a collection of antique objects, furniture, excellent knowledge of history and local customs, then you are in the right place, a “Second—hand Bookseller”! A magical place where there's probably a painted door to Wonderland or Narnia behind the closet.  

Address: Antique salon "Bookseller" in Tula on Lenin Avenue 32.

8.Antique shop in the Museum of Soviet Toys

A childhood corner where dolls, tin soldiers, glass Christmas toys, a board game “Behind the wheel”, a pedal car, dishes, a metal construction kit, liners, tumblers, an iron dump truck still live - everything that you seem to have already forgotten about because you grew up (and not really). The most important thing is that you can not only touch it, but also buy it. A favorite place with bright memories for those who are in their early 30s and their parents. 

Tula, Metallistov St., 16
