Pryanik Museum & Shop

Tula is renowned Russia-wide for its pryaniki (inscribed ginger cakes) and locals pack out this tiny bakery store-cum-cafe, stocking up on blocks of gingerbread in all shapes and sizes, filled with flavours from blueberry to lemon. The bakery has been churning them out since 1881. There's a small museum next door (R50) – check out the monster 16kg loaf!
