What to see in Pskov

Pskov is a city with a deep history, where medieval walls coexist with quiet lakes and green parks.

Every visit to Pskov leaves a feeling of touching the old days and a desire to learn more.

Manufactures and facilities

Man-made sights of Pskov make up the core of its tourist appearance: the majestic elements of the Pskov fortress - the Clock Tower, the Great Gate, the Flat and High Towers - tower over the city and keep the memory of protecting the borders. Among the temples are the Michael-Arkhangelsk Cathedral and the Church of St. Basil the Great on Gorka, and the Pskov-Pechersk Monastery in Pechora is striking in scale and history. In the urban fabric, the Petrovsky Gate Tower, the Tower of the Upper Grids, the monument “Pushkin and the Peasant Woman” and the cozy corners of the Lipo Park in the Tukhovik estate are noticeable, which together create a rich palette of architectural and memorial places.

Natural attractions and places

Along the rivers Velikaya, Cherma and Zelcha there are forests and meadows, and protected places such as Belov Island, Sebezhsky National Park, Polistovsky Reserve and Talab Islands give an opportunity to see the rare flora and fauna of the region.
