Yaroslavl is one of the oldest and atmospheric cities in Russia, the pearl of the Golden Ring with a history of more than a thousand years. The city, which is called “Florence of the Russian North”, combines monumental ancient architecture and the coziness of merchant streets, quiet embankments of the Volga and living folk traditions. Walks in the center give a feeling of touch with the past, and the view of the confluence of the Volga and Kotorosli rivers on the Strelka remains in memory for a long time.
Among the man-made attractions of Yaroslavl are majestic cathedrals and temples, monuments and architectural ensembles that are worth seeing. Here are the Assumption Cathedral and the belfry of the Transfiguration Cathedral, the famous Church of John the Forerunner, included in the UNESCO list, the Church of Elijah the Prophet and other unique monuments of the XVII century. On the streets and squares there are monuments to Yaroslav the Wise and a modern bear symbol of the city, monuments to Leonid Sobinov and Fyodor Tolbukhin, ancient gates and towers of the Rublynsky city, as well as the Governor’s Garden, planetarium and literary museums.
Natural attractions and picturesque corners around Yaroslavl are no less impressive: the embankments of the Volga and Kotorosli, the Park of the 1000th anniversary of the city and green squares for leisurely walks, Strelka with musical fountains and views of the river, quiet banks and forests in the vicinity. Nearby there are ancient monasteries on the banks of rivers, and in the suburbs you can find historical estates and ancient churches, for example, the Nikitsk Church in Elizarovo, which organically complement the natural landscapes and give reason for short trips outside the city.
