Yaroslavl. City centre tour

Each city has a “face”, but only Yaroslavl was called a “city with a face”. And what does this “face” look like?

We will walk around the historical center of the city and see all the main attractions. On a leisurely walk I will acquaint you with the history of city streets, squares, buildings, sculptures and, of course, with stories and legends from the life of ordinary people. My goal is not only to familiarize you with the thousand-year history of the city, but also to show you how the city lives today.

You will know:

• about Yaroslavl’s “promptness” and why we were called “waterbread”;
• What are "solar tiles" and why the city is called "Russian Florence"
• how the Yaroslavl “scales” saved Moscow and what the Monomakh hat does on the Yaroslavl coat of arms;
• What is the difference between our “boiling water” and where the “chapyzhs” are located;
• Who and when was founded the first Russian theater and what is known Yaroslavl cinema;
• where you can make a wish, and where to “just rub”;
• What did the city of A. Dumas-father remember and what did I. Ilf and E. Petrov write about Yaroslavl?
• where in Yaroslavl today there are "bedbacks" and what is a "soul park".

and much more.
