Veliky Novgorod

A city guide for visiting cyclists: where to live, where to eat and what to have time to see between the start and the way home.

Hotels, restaurants and excursions of the city themselves went to the "Tsar Grader" and give discounts to our participants by code phrase. The conditions below are those that were in effect in June 2026. For the 2027 race, we are confirming the list anew, so check the discount on the spot when booking.

How it works

Code phrase — "Tsar Grader"

No cards or vouchers: a discount is given on the spot when you name a phrase. For audio excursions, it is written together — "Tsargrader".

Hotels are asked to book directly — by phone or on their website. The discount is not valid through aggregators.

Where to live

Racing dates in the city are sorted out quickly — it's too late to look for housing in June.
