"My Second Time in Omsk" a Omsk Travel Page by blaird

Both of my trips to Omsk were not typical tourist trips. I visited Omsk with a friend that grew up there, so we visited her parents and friends.

Omsk is an industrial city, but I found it nice because of the people. The city has economic problems, could use a facelift, but has an international airport, a nice downtown area, and is along the Trans-Siberian Express line (I flew in).

The city developed from an early fort along the river banks about 250 years ago (that makes it older than theUS!)

I have converted my travelogues into Must See Activities, as I feel these better fit the new VT. The picture above is from the dacha (garden plot) of my friend's parents.
