Beauty Kostroma © author's tour of Dmitry Zakharov

Kostroma greets us with the feeling of a winter holiday on the weekend. Reminiscent of the Christmas markets of quiet Europe with the aroma of honey and gingerbread.

Tourists get acquainted with the bright architectural buildings of the city. Merchant Kostroma has its charm. At one time it was on the 3rd place in trade in Russia. Numerous rows of Kalachny, Gingerbread, Petty, Red like a plot of Russian life of past eras and famous films that were filmed here. I want to feel everything, bite, try it.

We will see the founder of the city Yuri Dolgoruky. Muscovites know their parents ;- Ancient wooden and stone buildings harmoniously coexist in the space of quiet streets and are ideal for memorable photographs.

In the family traditions of generations, we will visit the Epiphany-Anastasia Monastery, where one of the most revered shrines in Russia is kept - Theodore Icon of the Mother of God. The lady must cover her head with a scarf or palantine to observe the rules of visitation.

A walk through the territories of the old fortress of the city will open beautiful Volga landscapes. An energetic journey in the air can and should be supported by a delicious meal in the nostalgic atmosphere of Soviet Kostroma and the interiors of a merchant town.

Organizational details

Walking outdoors suggests that you are familiar with the weather and will be dressed for the weather, friends. Shoes should also be comfortable in the season. I recommend breakfast or lunch before our trip for comfort and warmth. For a tourist and a guide in love with the winds of Karelia and the vagaries of its weather, this advice always helps. Life hacks about our city and travel around it will also tell when booking. We book transport at will and in advance. Combined (auto-pedestrian) tour lasts up to 2 hours. Food points worthy of your gastronomic preferences can also be recommended when booking.
