Very beautiful and big and can see it from almost everywhere and its location is great, I really liked it

(Translated by Google) The Transfiguration Cathedral, like most public buildings in the city, was built with money from Rybinsk merchants. The largest part was contributed by Vyazmina merchants. The total weight of gilded silver used in the interior decoration was more than 500 kg. As for the bell tower, it was built 50 years earlier than the temple itself, presumably according to the design of the self-taught Kostroma architect Stepan Vorotilov. In the 20th century, the cathedral was almost destroyed during the construction of a bridge across the Volga. The building was saved by the outbreak of the Great Patriotic War. During Soviet times, the temple was closed and destroyed, and was transferred to the Russian Orthodox Church only in the 1990s. Services resumed in 1996, the schedule of services is on the Diocese website. Columns and stucco moldings have been preserved inside, but the iconostasis and frescoes were destroyed during the USSR, and currently there are no paintings. (Original) Спасо-Преображенский собор построен, как и большинство общественных зданий города, на деньги рыбинских купцов. Большую часть внесли купцы Вязьмины. Общий вес позолоченного серебра, использованного в оформлении интерьера, составлял более 500 кг. Что касается колокольни, она построена на 50 лет раньше самого храма, предположительно по проекту костромского зодчего самоучки Степана Воротилова. В ХХ веке собор едва не разрушили во время строительства моста через Волгу. Здание спасла начавшаяся Великая Отечественная война. В советское время храм был закрыт и разорен, и передан русской православной церкви лишь в 1990 годы. Службы возобновились с 1996 года, расписание богослужений есть на сайте Епархии. Внутри сохранились колонны и лепнина, но иконостас и фрески были уничтожены во времена СССР, в настоящее время росписи нет.

(Translated by Google) Previously, there were two wooden churches on this site, some of the first in the city, then a stone temple was built. In 1803, a new high bell tower was added to it. And then, in 1851, the temple itself was rebuilt. The architect was Abraham Melnikov, a participant in the competition for the construction of St. Isaac's Cathedral in St. Petersburg. Doesn't it remind you? Since 1909, the cathedral became a cathedral. And after the revolution, it was closed and disfigured, turning it into a vegetable storehouse. The bell tower suffered less, no economic use was found for it. In the 70s of the last century, the cathedral was vacated and restoration began as a museum treasure. After the collapse of the Union, the cathedral was restored, although it is almost a new replica, but similar. Now the temple is active ... (Original) Раньше на этом месте стояли две деревяннык церкови, одни из первых в городе, потом построили каменный храм. В 1803 году к нему пристроили новую высокую колокольню. А потом, в 1851 году, перестроили и сам храм. Архитектором был Авраам Мельников, участник конкурса на постройку Исаакиевского собора в Питере. Правда напоминает? С 1909 года собор стал кафедральным. А после революции его закрыли и изуродовали, сделав в нём овощехранилище. Колокольня пострадала меньше, ей хозяйственного примения не нашли. В 70-е годы прошлого века собор освободили и начали реставрировать как музейную ценность. После распада Союза собор восстановили, хоть он почти новодел, но похож. Сейчас храм действующий...

(Translated by Google) One of the symbols of Rybinsk. The cathedral is photogenic, the camera dictates itself, let's photograph it again. The temple is beautiful, magnificent. Dominant of the entire city. One thing, if there is no need, it’s better not to go inside. Dark, somewhat empty, smoky gray walls. Very uncomfortable. As for the inspection from the bell tower. Now only with a guide from the cathedral. The guide's phone number will be given at the candle box. Reluctantly, but they will. You need to call and clarify the price and date of climbing to the bell tower. Something like this (Original) Один из символов Рыбинска. Собор фотогеничен, камера сама диктует, давай его ещё раз сфотографируем. Храм красив, великолепен. Доминанта всего города. Одно но, внутрь, если нет потребности лучше не заходить. Темно, пустовато, прокопченые серые стены. Очень неуютно. Что касается осмотра с колокольни. Сейчас только с провожатым от собора. Телефончик провожатого дадут у свечного ящика. Неохотно, но дадут. Нужно позвонить и уточнить цену и дату подъёма на колокольню. Как то так

(Translated by Google) A beautiful temple with a rich history. Admission is free + there are no strict requirements for clothing (for example, that men are not allowed to wear shorts, etc.). (Original) Красивый храм с богатой историей. Вход бесплатный + нет строгих требований к одежде (например, что мужчинам в шортах нельзя и т.д.).

(Translated by Google) The tallest bell tower in Russia, after the bell tower of the Peter and Paul Fortress. It is better to take pictures from the bridge in the first half of the day. (Original) Самая высокая колокольня в России, после колокольни Петропавловской крепости. Лучше фотографировать с моста, в первой половине дня.

(Translated by Google) Polite employees in the candle shop. You can go on an excursion to the bell tower (it is better to arrange in advance) (Original) Вежливые сотрудники в свечной. Можно сходить на экскурсию на колокольню (лучше договориться заранее)

(Translated by Google) The condition of the museum leaves much to be desired. Creaking parquet and signs of flooding await you in the dusty halls. The staircase to the 2nd floor has not been washed since its foundation. The exhibits are interesting, but what condition are they in! Dust, dirt, faded photos. The art gallery looks better, there are many worthy works. Are these originals? How the temperature and humidity conditions are maintained with open windows. It's a shame that such a stunning building is being used so poorly. (Original) Состояние музея оставляет желать лучшего. Скрипучий паркет и следы затопления ждут вас в пыльных залах. Лестница на 2 этаж не мылась со дня основания. Экспонаты интересные, но в каком они состоянии! Пыль, грязь, выцветшие фото. Картинная галерея выглядит лучше, много достойных произведений. Это подлинники? Как соблюдается температурно - влажностной режим при открытых окнах. Очень жаль, что такое потрясающее здание так бездарно используется.

(Translated by Google) My boyfriend and I bought tickets using the Pushkin card. The website loaded very poorly. The money was debited from our cards, but the barcode still hadn't appeared after 20 minutes. We approached the cashier with this problem, where they rudely told us that it wasn't their problem. I agree with this, but it could have been said calmly. In the end, we bought a ticket with our own money and went into the art gallery. I wanted to take a photo, the museum attendant looked at me intently, after which she made a remark to me to move away from the painting, although the painting was 15 cm away. I moved away, the young man took another photo of me, but they didn't like this outcome either. A number of inappropriate comments were made by ALL the attendants, telling us to move away from here, not to go there, that they would call security now, although we walked like everyone else, didn't touch anything with our hands, and it was not forbidden to take photos. Let's sum it up, the museum staff is rude, they don't want to solve technical problems. The atmosphere is terrible, they constantly stare at you, as if they were not museum guards, but prison guards. (Original) Мы с молодым человеком покупали билеты по Пушкинской карте. Сайт очень плохо грузил. Деньги с наших карт списаны, но штрих код так и не появился спустя 20мин. Мы подходим с этой проблемой на кассу, где нам в грубой форме говорят, что это не их проблема. С этим я согласна, но это можно было сказать спокойно. В итоге мы купили билет за свои деньги и зашли в картинную галерею. Я хотела сфотографироваться, на меня пристально смотрела музейный смотритель, после чего сделала мне замечание, чтобы я отошла от картины, хотя до картины было 15 см. Я отошла, меня сфотографировал молодой человек ещё раз, но и такой исход событий им не понравился. Было сделан ещё ряд неуместных замечаний от ВСЕХ смотрителей, чтобы мы от сюда отошли, туда не ходили, что они сейчас вызовут охрану, хотя мы ходили, как все, ничего не трогали руками, фотографироваться было не запрещено. Подведём итоги, персонал музея грубый, решать технические проблемы они не хотят. Обстановка ужасная, на тебя постоянно пристально смотрят, как будто они не музейные смотритель, а тюремные надзиратели.

(Translated by Google) Terrible service staff, they stare at you everywhere. Buying tickets is complete nonsense. We came to buy with a Pushkin card. We bought one event, waited 15 minutes (and never got one). We decided to take another one, and the ticket arrived in 3 minutes. We were able to go to the art gallery. The paintings are very beautiful, but it was unbearable to be near such employees. (Original) Ужасный обслуживающий персонал, везде на тебя "пялит" своими глазами. Покупка билетов полный абсурд. Пришли покупать по пушкинской карте. Приобрели одно мероприятие, ждали 15 минут(так и не дождались). Решили взять ещё одно, там уже через 3 минуты пришёл билет. Смогли сходить на картинную галерию. Картины очень красивые, но находится рядом с такими работниками было невыносимо.

(Translated by Google) We took a ticket for 150r/person. As I understand it, we walked around the entire museum. It took about 40 minutes. The impression was positive. The exhibits are varied. At the end there was an art gallery. I recommend visiting this museum. (Original) Взяли билет за 150р/чел. Как я поняла, мы обошли весь музей. Заняло это минут 40. Впечатление осталось положительное. Экспонаты разнообразные. В заключение была картинная галерея. Советую посетить данный музей.

(Translated by Google) Externally, it is a very beautiful, atmospheric building; the internal exhibition did not impress me, with the exception of the furniture collection. I especially liked the furniture from the Ilovna and Borisogleb estate, very fine workmanship, beauty and functionality, you can immediately see the work of not just furniture makers, but artists. (Original) Внешне очень красивое, атмосферное здание, внутренняя экспозиция меня не впечатлила за исключенением коллекции мебели . Особенно понравилась мебель из усадьбы Иловна и Борисоглеб, очень тонкая работа, красота и функциональность, сразу видна работа не просто мнбел щиков, а художников.

(Translated by Google) A small but quite interesting museum. The children enjoyed exploring the contents of its halls. I was surprised by the collection of paintings, albeit a little, but what famous artists! Shishkin, Aivazovsky, Serebryakova, Makovsky. Thank you, I liked it! (Original) Небольшой, но довольно интересный музей. Дети с удовольствием изучали содержимое его залов. Удивила коллекция картин, пусть немного, но какие именитые художники! Шишкин, Айвазовский, Серебрякова, Маковский. Спасибо, понравилось!

(Translated by Google) Local history. The most powerful museum in Rybinsk. (Original) Краеведческий. Сильнейший музей Рыбинска.

The city is home to the Valenok Museum, a unique museum dedicated to traditional Russian felted footwear. It was opened in 2000 after the successful exhibition and sale "Russian Valenki." The choice of Myshkin for the museum is not accidental - for over a century, the city has been a center for felt production, and local craftsmen have been renowned for their valenki. The museum features an extensive collection of valenki from various eras. Among the exhibits, you can see unusual models: boot-style felt boots, ice-skating felt boots, as well as designer options with embroidery, fur, and even in the "disco" style. A separate exhibition introduces visitors to the "sisters and brothers of the felt boot" - antique footwear from previous centuries, such as shoes, boots, and shoes. The exhibition is constantly updated, as many of the exhibited felt boots can be purchased. A distinctive feature of Myshkin felt boots is that they are made exclusively from the wool of the Romanov sheep, which gives them a characteristic gray color. The production process is completely manual: the wool is thoroughly washed, combed, and hand-felted, then boiled and dried. It takes about 2.5 kg of wool to create one pair. Interestingly, the manufacturing process has not changed for over two hundred years, and modern craftsmen follow the same techniques as their ancestors. In the past, felt boots were considered a valuable gift and were passed down through generations. In addition to their primary purpose, felt boots were also used for medical purposes, such as treating rheumatism, colds, and even hangovers. At the museum, you can learn about an old girl's divination for her future husband using a felt boot.

(Translated by Google) Very nice museum. Many thanks to the attendants for the intimacy and warm home welcome. Special thanks to the guide Nadezhda for an interesting, original story about the city of Myshkin, its myths, its inhabitants and the sights of a small old Russian town with a thousand-year history. (Original) Очень милый музей. Огромная благодарность служительницам за камерность и теплый домашний прием. Экскурсоводу Надежде отдельная благодарность за интересный, самобытный рассказ о городе Мышкине, о его мифах, о его жителях и о достопримечательностьях маленького старинного русского городка с тысячелетней историей.

(Translated by Google) Felt boots, felt boots, felt boots... A lot of felt boots, a lot of crafts made from felt boots and felt, there is a whole exhibition about shoes, boots, shoes, ballet shoes. There is a small shop at the museum where they sell souvenirs and... felt boots. Cute. The museum is located in the estate of the Chistov merchants, in a building that previously housed servants. The Chistov House itself is given over to the city library, and the remaining premises of the estate are occupied by museums. Be sure to take a walk around the estate. Admire the Volga. (Original) Валенки, валенки, валенки... Много валенок, много поделок из валенок и войлока, есть целая экспозиция об обуви, сапогах, туфельках, балетках. При музее имеется небольшая лавка, где торгуют сувенирами и... валенками. Мило. Музей расположен в усадьбе купцов Чистовых, в здании, где раньше размещалась прислуга. Сам Дом Чистовых отдан под городскую библиотеку, а остальные помещения усадьбы занимают музеи. Непременно погуляйте по усадьбе. Полюбуйтесь на Волгу.

(Translated by Google) A small and modest museum. In several rooms you can see how felt boots are created and what kind of felt boots there are)) entrance fee is symbolic, 80 rubles (Original) Небольшой и скромный музей. В нескольких комнатах можно увидеть как создаются валенки и какие валенки есть)) стоимость входа - символическая, 80 рублей

(Translated by Google) The museum is divided into several rooms. Each one tells about something different. I had great pleasure. Much was new. The kids really liked it (Original) Музей поделен на несколько комнат. В каждой рассказывают о чем то своём. Получила огромное удовольствие. Многое было ново. Детям очень понравилось

(Translated by Google) A small but very interesting exhibition. So many unusual crafts made from felt boots! The imagination of the creators is amazing! (Original) Небольшая, но очень интересная экспозиция. Столько необычных поделок из валенков! Восхищает фантазия создателей!

(Translated by Google) I really liked it, it’s a great museum, it’s better to come with a guide, you can learn a lot. Many thanks to the guide Oksana!!! (Original) Очень понравилось, великолепный музей, лучше приходить с экскурсоводом, очень много можно узнать. Огромная благодарность экскурсоводу Оксане!!!

Not exited, really. Maybe it's interesting to whom likes mouses

Nice one

Good

(Translated by Google) This is an exhibition dedicated to a cute rodent - a tiny mouse, which, according to a wonderful legend, saved the life of the city's founding father, Prince Fyodor Mstislavsky. Hence the mouse is included in both the name of the city and its ancient coat of arms. These facts prompted the creation and opening in 1990 of such an original museum, the only one in the world. So, on the coat of arms of Myshkin a bear is depicted as a totem animal from the time of the Yaroslavl principality, and the mouse is the savior of the prince. The city’s coat of arms also depicts the imperial crown. In Russia, only three cities have an imperial crown on their coat of arms - Moscow, St. Petersburg and Myshkin. The Mouse Museum itself is a unique place where you can see a huge collection of mice from different materials and countries. There are knitted mice, clay, cardboard, wooden, iron and many others. This is the world's only mouse museum, home to 13,348 mice. By the way, today there are about 6 thousand residents in the city itself. The museum is located in the wooden former house of merchant Titov, decorated with carvings. In fact, this is a museum of gifts; the collection includes exhibits donated to the museum. So, if you are going to Myshkin, take your own, original specimen of the rodent. The museum is popular, so I recommend booking in advance. The excursion lasts ~40 minutes. (Original) Это выставка, посвященная симпатичному грызуну – малюсенькой мышке, которая согласно чудесному преданию, спасла жизнь отца-основателя города, князя Федора Мстиславского. Отсюда именно мышка заложена и в названии города, и на его старинном гербе. Эти факты и побудили к созданию и открытию в 1990 году такого оригинального музея, единственного в мире. Так, на гербе Мышкина изображен медведь как тотемное животное со времен Ярославского княжества, и мышка-спасительница князя. А еще на гербе города изображена императорская корона. В России на гербе только трех городов есть императорская корона – Москва, СПб и Мышкин. Сам музей мыши – уникальное место, где можно увидеть огромную коллекцию мышей из разных материалов и стран. Здесь есть вязаные мыши, глиняные, картонные, деревянные, железные и многие другие. Это единственный в мире музей мыши, в котором живут 13348 мышей. К слову, сегодня жителей в самом городе около 6 тысяч. Музей разместился в деревянном, украшенном резьбой бывшем доме купца Титова. Фактически это музей подарков, в коллекции представлены экспонаты, переданные в дар музею. Так что, если соберетесь в Мышкин, прихватите свой, оригинальный экземпляр грызуна. Музей популярен, поэтому рекомендую время бронировать заранее. Экскурсия рассчитана на ~40 минут.

(Translated by Google) The kingdom of mice in a single Russian hut. A bunch of plush mice are mixed with mice made from other materials. Interesting? Probably yes. We took our time, there are interesting GEGs if you find them))) (Original) Царство мышей в отдельно взятой русской избе. Куча плюшевых мышей разбавлено мышами из других материалов. Интересно? Наверное да. Мы не пожалели времени, есть интересные ГЭГи, если найдёте)))

(Translated by Google) Very interesting for mouse lovers))) in this museum you can buy a ticket, not only to this one, but also to others, for example to the museum of Russian vodka. Very friendly staff!!! Everyone gave advice and helped to decide) (Original) Очень интересно для любителей мышек))) в этом музее можно купить билет, как только в этот , так и в другие, например в музей русской водки. Очень доброжелательный персонал!!! Все подсказали и помогли определиться)

(Translated by Google) An open air museum, interesting. The music and atmosphere are a little lacking, just start it up and go. Lots of antiques, household items, etc. but I would like more information. The idea is wonderful. More creativity and everything will be great! 👍👍👍👍 (Original) Музей под открытым небом, интересно. Музычки, атмосферы немного не хватает, запустили и ходи. Много старинных вещей, предметов быта и т.п. но информации хотелось бы побольше. Идея замечательная. Креатива побольше и всë будет классно! 👍👍👍👍

(Translated by Google) A very beautiful monastery with magnificent frescoes between two beautiful lakes. Currently it functions primarily as a museum. The price of a complex ticket is 1000 rubles, a ticket to the Cathedral of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary from 1490 with frescoes from 1502 by Dionysius is 650 rubles (September 2024) The cathedral with frescoes has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2000 (the only one in the Vologda region). The village has got good roads and even new bus stops. However, there is no transport from the village itself. Even the short Kirillovo-Feropontov route was no longer running as of September 2024. They also didn't bother to make lockers for storing luggage. Probably, according to local authorities and the museum, people can only get here by personal transport, taxi, or as part of organized groups. But the monastery itself and the frescoes are magnificent. (Original) Очень красивый монастырь с великолепными фресками между двух красивых озер. В настоящее время функционирует преимущественно как музей. Цена комплексного билета 1000 рублей, билета в Собор Рождества пресвятой Богородицы 1490 года с фресками 1502 года Дионисия- 650 руб (сентябрь 2024) Собор с фресками объект всемирного наследия ЮНЕСКО ещё с 2000 года (единственный на Вологодскую область). В селе сделали хороший дороги и даже новые автобусные остановки. Однако, транспорт с само село не ходит. Даже короткий маршрут Кириллово- Феропонтова на сентябрь 2024 уже не ходил. Шкафчики для хранения багажа также не удосужились сделать. Вероятно, по мнению местных властей и музея сюда добираются только на личном транспорте, такси или в составе организованных групп. Но сам монастырь и фрески великолепны.

(Translated by Google) A wonderful monastery, of course, be sure to read the eventful history of the monastery if you are traveling independently and without a guide. We took a taxi from the Kirillo-Belozersky Monastery, on the way we visited the Church of Elijah the Prophet in Tsypino. The trip took a little over three hours, we were in no hurry. The cost of a taxi is 3000 rubles. We ordered by phone, Yandex Go does not work in Kirillov. The monastery is chamber, like in the picture. Therefore, you will have the opportunity to walk along its walls from the outside (be sure to do this) and even swim in the lake. The frescoes of Dionysius of the Cathedral of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary can only be viewed in sessions (check the session time when buying tickets). The session is preceded by a viewing of a film about the creation of the wall painting (we missed it). The time you spend in the cathedral is about twenty minutes, which is quite enough. Of course, the Kirillo-Belozersky Monastery is much more interesting. But it is simply necessary to see the miraculously preserved frescoes, especially since the Ferapontov Monastery ensemble is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. (Original) Замечательный монастырь, конечно, обязательно прочтите богатую событиями историю монастыря, если путешествуете самостоятельно и без гида. Были на такси из Кирилло-Белозерского монастыря, по пути посетили церковь Ильи Пророка в Цыпино. Поездка заняла чуть более трех часов, не спешили. Стоимость такси 3000 руб. Заказывали по телефонному номеру, Яндекс Go в Кириллове не работает. Монастырь камерный, как с картинки. Поэтому у вас будет возможность обойти его вдоль стен с внешней стороны (сделайте это обязательно) и даже искупаться в озере. Фрески Дионисия собора Рождества Богородицы можно посмотреть только по сеансам (уточняйте время сеанса при покупке билетов). Сеансу предшествует просмотр фильма о создании стенной росписи (мы пропустили). Время вашего нахождения в соборе - около двадцати минут, что вполне достаточно. Конечно, Кирилло-Белозерский монастырь намного интереснее. Но и чудом сохранившиеся фрески посмотреть просто необходимо, тем более именно ансамбль Ферапонтова монастыря является объектом Всемирного наследия ЮНЕСКО.

(Translated by Google) Great place! A small and very cozy monastery on the shore of a beautiful lake. Feels like home inside. You can immediately feel the prayed place. The frescoes are simply gorgeous. It’s even scary to imagine how many people have seen them throughout their existence. There is also a functioning temple inside. Beautiful! Huge collection of spinning wheels. There is a gig and a sleigh. (Original) Шикарное место! Небольшой и очень уютный монастырь на берегу красивого озера. Внутри ощущения дома. Сразу чувствуется намоленное место. Фрески просто шикарные. Даже страшно представить сколько людей их видело за все время существования. Действующий храм внутри тоже располагает. Красивый! Огромная коллекция прялок. Есть двуколка и сани.

(Translated by Google) A wonderful monastery on the very shore of the lake. The area is well-groomed, even the grass is mowed, the walls are whitewashed, everything is very beautiful and neat. Services are held in the gate church. In the monastery are the relics of St. Martinian. Most of the monastery belongs to the museum. To enter some churches you need to pay money. A functioning church is, of course, free of charge. (Original) Замечательный монастырь на самом берегу озера. Территория ухоженная, даже трава скошена, стены выбелены, всё очень красиво и аккуратно. В надвратной церкви проходят службы. В монастыре - мощи святого Мартиниана. Бо́льшая часть монастыря принадлежит музею. Для входа в некоторые церкви нужно платить деньги. Действующая церковь, естественно, бесплатно.

(Translated by Google) A small territory of the monastery located on the shore of a beautiful lake. Inside, only the frescoes of Dionysius are interesting. It will not take much time to view the exhibition. Before viewing the frescoes, a 10-minute film is shown. The downside is that in the hall with frescoes they give you a laminated piece of paper identifying the frescoes, but you really want to hear the story of a living person. (Original) Небольшая территория монастыря, расположенного на берегу красивого озера. Внутри интересны только фрески Дионисия. На осмотр экспозиции много времени не потребуется. Перед осмотром фрескок идёт демонстрация 10 минутного фильма. Минус в том, что в зал с фрескиами дают в руки ламинированую бумажку с идентификации фресок, а так хочется сусоышать рассказ живого человека.

(Translated by Google) HOLY PLACES - Grace is directly felt here. The area is very interesting. The frescoes of Dionysius are a must see. Everything inside is modern. There are many ancient objects and icons in the temples. They talk very interestingly about how the cathedral was painted by Dionysius and how it was restored in Soviet times - it’s really fascinating. But, if you are hoping to have somewhere to eat near the monastery, I will disappoint you. There are no cafes and only a couple of local shops. It was interesting to visit the crafts workshop. I recommend it to everyone. (Original) СВЯТЫЕ МЕСТА - здесь прямо чувствуется Благодать. На территории очень интересно. Фрески Дионисия - это то, что нужно посмотреть обязательно. Внутри всё современно. В храмах много древних объектов, икон. Очень интересно рассказывают о том, как происходила роспись собора Дионисием и о том, как реставрировали в советское время - это прямо очень захватывает. Но, если вы надеетесь где-то перекусить вблизи монастыря, я вас разочарую. Здесь нет кафе и только пару местных магазинов. Интересно и было посетить мастерскую ремесел. Всем рекомендую.

(Translated by Google) Fellow travelers! If you're visiting Kirillov or just passing through, stop by Ferapontovo. The place is blessed and beautiful, and just being here is a joy. The monastery was founded in the 14th century. Vasily the Dark came here before seizing the Moscow throne from Shemyaka. The odious and controversial Patriarch Nikon, whose actions led to the church schism that gave birth to the Old Believers, was exiled here. The monastery is under UNESCO protection for its frescoes of St. Dionysius, who painted the walls with his sons in the early 16th century. Inside, there's a 16th-century church with very, very ancient interiors. Tours are available. There are several types of tickets, meaning you can't just buy one and see everything. Admission to the grounds is free, but there's a fee for the exhibitions. The monastery's refectory (dining room) is full of artifacts, and you can also see how and from what the frescoes were made. There's a souvenir shop with icons, as well as interesting trinkets and food items, including authentic ones. The parking lot in front of the monastery usually sells pottery made by a local artisan – very high-quality (I've been using it for years and have even introduced friends to it) – made of black and brown clay, unpainted, without Khokhloma, Gzhel, or other fancy touches, just plain pottery. There are shops in the village, but food is a problem. But the district center of Kirillov is nearby, so you can find something for yourself. Overall, don't miss this unique place. And for those who enjoy standing by a clear northern lake, listening to the rustling breeze and the ringing of bells, this place is a real treat, as an added bonus. I live in St. Petersburg and have been here probably 15 times. It's absolutely beautiful... (Original) Друзья-путешественники! Если приехали в Кириллов или просто едете мимо - заверните в Ферапонтово. Места благодатные, красивые, само пребывание тут приятно душе. Монастырь основан в 14 веке, сюда приезжал Василий Тёмный перед тем, как отобрать престол московский у Шемяки, сюда сослан был одиозный и противоречивый патриарх Никон, тот, чьи дела привели к церковному расколу, породившему староверов. Монастырь под охраной ЮНЕСКО из-за фресок святого Дионисия, расписавшего стены с сыновьями в начале 16 века. Внутри есть церковь 16 века с очень, очень и очень древним убранством. Экскурсии. Билетов несколько, т.е нет такого, что один билет - и везде можно. Вход бесплатный на территорию, а на экспозиции уже за плату. Полна артефактов трапезная (столовая) монастыря, тут же можно посмотреть, как и из чего делались фрески. Есть сувенирная лавка с иконами, а также интересными, в т.ч. аутентичными безделушками и продуктами. На парковке перед монастырём обычно продаётся керамика местного мастера - очень достойная (пользуюсь много лет и друзей подсадил) из чёрной и коричневой глины, не крашенная, без хохломы, гжели и прочей вкусовщины, просто керамика. Магазины в селе есть, с покушать трабл. Но рядом есть райцентр Кириллов для этого. В общем, не пропустите это уникальное место. А любителям постоять у чистого северного озера под шелест ветерка и звон колоколов - тому зайдёт это место на все 100, бонусом ко всему прочему. Живу в СПб, был тут раз 15, наверное. Ляпота тут...

(Translated by Google) I've been to many open-air museums, but this one is special. There is a cinema in the hayloft, master classes in the hut, a pottery and other workshops, on a bench you can listen to stories from birdhouses, a petting yard with goats, hens and a dog, there is a church. Before leaving, don’t forget to visit Nuzhnik! This is the bomb!!!😀 One minus. There is nowhere to eat and nothing to eat. (Original) Бывала во многих музеях под открытым небом, но этот особенный. Кинотеатр на сеновале, мастер классы в избе, гончарная и другие мастерские, на скамейке можно послушать байки из скворечников, контактный дворик с козочками, курицами и собачкой, есть церквушка. Перед выходом не забудьте посетить Нужник! Это бомба!!!😀 Один минус. Негде перекусить и нечего.

(Translated by Google) A very beautiful place, it will be fun for both children and adults! A sea of ​​impressions after the village of Tygydym. There you can lie down in the hayloft and watch a cartoon. Then swing on the swing, play games that everyone knows. Go into a peasant's house and see how the children studied. Walk along a path with sand, planks, fir cones, logs, moss and stones. Meet the horses. Then, if you like it, you can buy a ribbon and tie it to a tree branch. (Original) Очень красивое место, там будет весело и детям и взрослым! Море впечатлений после деревни Тыгыдым. Там можно полежать на сеновале и посмотреть мультик. Потом покачаться на качелях, поиграть в игры которые знает каждый. Зайти в дом крестьянина и посмотреть как учились дети. Пройтись по тропинке с песком ,дощечками , еловыми шишками, брёвнам, мху и камням. Познакомиться с лошадками. Потом если вам понравится то можно будет купить ленточку и привязать на веточку дерева.

(Translated by Google) a stunningly beautiful place with very friendly staff, fascinating nature and an interesting program! I definitely recommend visiting 😍🥰 (Original) потрясающе красивое место с очень приветливым персоналом, завораживающей природой и интересной программой! однозначно рекомендую к посещению😍🥰

(Translated by Google) A young couple left Moscow for the sake of wildlife, and they were right!!! They created a Russian village, introducing everything that is best and forgotten, but so dear and dear to the heart. I recommend everyone who gets here to visit this place (Original) Молодая пара покинула Москву ради живой природы, и не прогадала!!! Создали русскую деревню, внедряют всё лучшее и забытое, но такое родное и милое сердце. Рекомендую всем, кто сюда доберется, посетить это место

(Translated by Google) A wonderful ethno-excursion. With a creative approach, with young and knowledgeable guides. Development and prosperity! (Original) Прекрасная этноэкскурсия. С творческим подходом, с молодыми и знающим гидами. Развития и процветания!

(Translated by Google) A very interesting place. We found out about him completely by accident. I recommend a visit for both children and adults. (Original) Очень интересное местечко. Узнали о нем совершенно случайно. Рекомендую к посещению, как для детей, так и для взрослых.

(Translated by Google) The museum area is not very large, but very cozy. We were charmed by the owners’ daughter, who met us at the entrance and explained everything in detail. You can walk around the territory, feed the animals, food is sold right there, and there are master classes. The opportunity to eat was not enough for me to be completely happy. I am sure that the museum will develop and everything will happen! Thank you very much for the pleasure. (Original) Территория музея не очень большая, но очень уютная. Очаровала дочка владельцев, которая встретила нас на входе и все обстоятельно объяснила. Можно погулять по территории, покормить животных, корм продается тут же, есть мастер-классы. Мне не хватило для полного счастья возможности поесть. Уверена, что музей будет развиваться и все будет! Спасибо большое за удовольствие.

Great monastery with the great history. Vivid and interesting for all ages

Very large 15th century monastery, a very special experience

Very interesting tour. The monastery, founded in the 1490s by the saint himself. Devastated during the Soviet era, now being restored by the newly faithful and the government as a UNESCO site. A very good museum full of retrieved and preserved icons from the churches. The site is very isolated and gives the visitor a sense of how vast Russia is and how isolated many communities are.

Get historical place. One of the first monasteries built during the 13th Century. Built by St Cyril after being instructed to leave Moscow and walking over 600 kilometers north.

Such a beautiful monastery. The singing while we were there was amazing. This is very much a must see.

The size and beauty of this Monastery by White lake can really truly only be appreciated in person.

Another amazing place to see

Болото, Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed.

(Translated by Google) Not a bad, but not very large water park. There are only 2 slides and they worked in turns, unfortunately. But they themselves are not bad and interesting. It's fun to float outside the building under the open sky. It’s very good that you can go to a regular pool to swim on the lanes if you’re tired of splashing around. And so, a jacuzzi, douches, a children's area, there is also a VIP, where there is a solarium, sauna, salt room and massage beds. Since the water park itself is not very large, you can have a more varied time with the VIP version, but, I repeat, it’s interesting without it. (Original) Неплохой, но не очень большой аквапарк. Горок всего 2 и те работали по очереди, к сожалению. Но сами неплохие и интересные. Прикольно выплывать наружу здания под открытое небо. Очень хорошо, что можно в обычный бассейн пойти поплавать на дорожках, если устал плескаться. А так, джакузи, обливалки, детская зона, есть ещё VIP, где есть солярий, сауна, соляная комната и массажные кровати. Так как сам аквапарк не очень большой, то с VIP версией можно более разнообразно провести время, но, повторюсь и без неё интересно.

(Translated by Google) I came to the water park on April 4 for a morning visit, they only accept cash for payment! The terminal does not work, they do not offer any other payment methods. There is no way to pay by transfer using a phone number or QR code! Some kind of Stone Age. It’s as if we live not in a city, but in an abandoned village. The girl at the reception is extremely unpleasant! (Original) Пришла в аквапарк 4 апреля на утреннее посещение, принимают для оплаты только наличку! Не работает терминал, других способов оплаты никаких не предлагают. Нет возможности оплатить переводом по номеру телефона или по qr-коду! Каменный век какой-то. Как будто живём не в городе, а в селе заброшенном. Девушка на ресепшене максимально неприятная!

(Translated by Google) We went for the first time and for the last! Absolutely everything was disappointing! There was no service or adequacy in prices. We came from another city to rest and relax, and in the end we left tired, hungry and full of disappointment. It was May 3, we went at our own peril and risk so that we would get in or not, because tickets are not booked in advance and are not bought online, we arrived and were surprised that there was almost nothing in the lobby empty and we quickly bought tickets (there were 5 of us, 2 adults and 3 children), it came out to 5 thousand, although for a small child they didn’t take a ticket for free until they were 3 years old, we took the Maximum rate for 6 hours to see and try everything (as it turned out there was nothing to try), we walked around and tried everything in half an hour! Then I stood at 1 working slide from the bottom of only 2 slides to watch and if anything to save my children, because We didn’t see any rescuers at all. After half an hour, naturally, the children asked for food, because... We had been on the road for a long time and had already been in the water park for an hour, and what was our surprise when we approached the cafe counter, there was a technological break written there, okay, we waited 30 minutes, the announcement was still there, I pressed the call button, because behind the doors of the cafe I could see both girls just sitting on their phones, one came out dissatisfied, reluctantly took our order and sat us at a dirty, uncleaned table near the toilets, to which her husband told her to clean it up, and she barked dissatisfiedly that she would clean it up right now and left. We ordered 2 servings of fries and 1 coffee, because... the prices were the same as in a restaurant (for everything we got 990 rubles), and 1 portion had less potatoes than the other and the coffee was brought without sugar! We wanted to change the tariff to 3 hours instead of 6, but we were told this is impossible, if you don’t want to be there just like that, then just leave and that’s it. By the way, for kids there is only 1 pool with 1 small slide and that’s it! And it’s located opposite the street pool from where it blew directly on the children and as a result the water was cool, and upon arriving home we all got sick!!! Rainbow Water Park, just rename it to the pool, you don’t live up to your name. You are not at all rosy, you are boring and sad! (Original) Поехали первый раз и в последний!Разочаровало абсолютно всё!Никакого сервиса и адекватности в ценах нет.Мы приезжали из другого города чтобы отдохнуть и расслабиться,а в итоге ушли оттуда уставшим,голодными и полными разочарованием.Это было 3 мая ,поехали на свой страх и риск дабы попадём или нет,т.к.билеты заранее не бронируются и онлайн не покупаются,приехали ,были удивлены что в холле почти пусто и мы быстренько купили билеты(нас было 5 человек ,2 взрослых и 3 детей),вышло 5тыс,хотя на маленького билет не брали до 3 лет бесплатно,взяли тариф Максимум на 6 часов ,чтобы посмотреть опробовать всё (как оказалось и пробовать то нечего),мы обошли и опробовали всё за пол часа!Потом я стояла у 1 рабочей из всего 2х горок снизу чтобы смотреть и если что спасать своих детей,потому что спасателей мы не видели от слова совсем.через полчаса естественно дети запросили кушать,т.к. были в дороге длительно и уже час находились в аквапарке,и каково наше было удивление когда мы подошли к стойке кафе,там было написано технологический перерыв,ладно мы подождали 30 минут,объявление так и стояло,я нажала на кнопку вызова,т.к.за дверями кафе было видно как обе девушки просто сидят в телефонах, одна вышла недовольная,взяла нехотя наш заказ и посадила за грязный неубранный столик у туалетов, на что ей мужем было сказано убрать ,а она рявкнула недовольно что щас уберёт и ушла.мы заказали 2 порции картошки фри и 1 кофе, т.к. цены как в ресторане (за всё у нас вышло 990рублей),причём в 1 порции было картошки меньше чем в другой и кофе принесли без сахара!Мы хотели поменять тариф на 3 часа вместо 6ти,но нам сказали это невозможно, если не хотите находиться просто так то просто выходите и всё. Кстати для малышей там только 1 бассейн с 1 небольшой горкой и всё!И расположен напротив уличного бассейна откуда прямо дуло на детей и по итогу вода была прохладная,и по приезду домой мы все заболели!!!Аквапарк Радужный,переименуйтесь просто в бассейн, вы не соответствуете своему названию. У вас совсем не радужно, у вас скучно и уныло!

(Translated by Google) We went from another region to see what kind of place it was. We were with 2 small children. The children's area was just sad (1 slide and that's it. Adult slides: one didn't work. It was cool inside, the water wasn't very warm either. There was a terribly large amount of chlorine. I don't recommend visiting with children. (Original) Поехали с другой области, глянуть, что за место. Были с 2 маленькими детьми. Детская зона просто грусть( 1 горка и все. Взрослые горки : одна не работала. Внутри прохладно, вода тоже не особо теплая. Хлорки ужасно много. Не рекомендую к посещению с детьми

(Translated by Google) We were at the water park on the weekend, so the price was the maximum and without any discounts, and this despite the fact that not a single slide was working! The cafe doesn’t have half of the menu! We went with relatives from another city, shame on our water park! (Original) Были в аквапарке на выходных, соответственно цена была максимальная и без всяких скидок и это при том ,что ни одна горка не работала! В кафе половина из меню нет!Ходили с родственниками из другого города,позор нашему аквапарку!

(Translated by Google) Great water park. There are many different areas, both a shallow children's pool and a full-fledged adult pool with aquamassage. Overall, a great place for a family vacation! The only thing that is somehow not very convenient is the length of stay: only 2 options - 3 and 6 hours. 3 is not enough, 6 seemed too much for us. After 5 hours they were already getting ready to leave. As for me, it would be better to do 2,4 and 6 hours to choose from. (Original) Отличный аквапарк. Много разных зон, и детский мелкий бассейн и полноценный взрослый с аквамассажем. В общем, для семейного отдыха отличное место! Единственное, что как-то не очень удобно, так это время пребывания: только 2 варианта- 3 и 6 часов. 3 маловато, 6 для нас показалось очень много. Через 5 часов стали уже собираться на выход. Как по мне, так лучше бы сделали 2,4 и 6 часов на выбор.

(Translated by Google) A small museum. The rooms were very small; our entire excursion could not fit in, so we mostly walked around on our own. The only interesting thing is about crayfish. (Original) Маленький музейчик. Очень маленькие комнатки, вся наша экскурсия не помещалась, поэтому ходили в основном сами. Из интересного только про раков.

(Translated by Google) The exhibition is small, but there are many interesting and unique things. For example, I have never seen a ceramic samovar anywhere. Posters for lectures at the People's House for 1912 immerse us in the era of a small county town. So I imagined how the audience gathered in the evening, respectable gentlemen purchased tickets to the first row, paid 5 kopecks for storage of outerwear. The high school students sit in the gallery, where the tickets are the cheapest, and not so much listen to the lecture as look out for pretty high school girls, because after the lecture there is dancing! (Original) Экспозиция небольшая, но много интересных и уникальных вещей. Так, например, керамического самовара я нигде не видела. Афиши лекций в Народном доме за 1912 год погружают в эпоху маленького уездного городка. Так и представила, как вечером публика собирается, почтенные господа приобретают билеты в первый ряд, платят по 5 копеек за хранение верхней одежды. Гимназисты сидят на галерке, там билеты самые дешёвые, и не столько слушают лекцию, сколько высматривают хорошеньких гимназисточек, ведь после лекции танцы!

(Translated by Google) Nice regional museum. There is a separate room with various artistic depictions of cancer (on the coat of arms of Vesyegonsk). These are gifts to the museum. Friendly staff. There is also an ancient stuffed white leopard or snow leopard (not found in these places)))). (Original) Милый региональный музей. Есть отдельный зал с различными художественными изображениями рака (на гербе Весьегонска). Это-подарки музею. Доброжелательные сотрудники. А ещё есть старинное чучело белого леопарда или снежного барса (в этих местах не водится)))).

(Translated by Google) A small but homely museum, imbued with antiquity and the Russian soul! I was simply amazed by the warmth with which the guide talked about the museum, about how Russian people once lived, and even not so long ago. How the locals love their town. How hospitable and kind everyone is there. (Original) Маленький, но по домашнему уютный музей, пронизан стариной и русской душой! Просто поражена была теплотой с которой гид рассказывала о музее, о том как жили когда-то русские люди и даже не так давно. Как местные жители любят свой городок. Какие все там гостеприимные, добрые.

(Translated by Google) an interesting excursion from mammoth bones to a samovar and a singing robot cancer :) nothing in the world changes, in the photo the found burial of a woman with a cooking pot. (Original) интересный экскурс от костей мамонтов до самовара и поющего робота рака :) ничего в мире не меняется , на фото найденое захороненте женщины с кострюлей .

(Translated by Google) A small museum, part of the exhibition is devoted to crayfish. No crayfish were ever found in the city (( (Original) Небольшой музей, часть экспозиции отведено под раков. Раков в городе так и не нашли ((

(Translated by Google) A typical local history museum, like in other cities of our vast homeland. Interesting to see. The highlight is the exhibition of crustaceans collected in different countries, of all sizes, shapes and colors. (Original) Типовой краеведческий музей, как в других городах нашей необъятной родины. Посмотреть интересно. Фишкой является экспозиция рачков, собранных в разных странах, всех размеров, форм и цветов.

(Translated by Google) Somehow this monastery is not well-known, and I came across it quite by accident, somewhere I saw a photo of the Kazan Cathedral. I compared it with our planned route and it turned out that we would be passing through (and spending the night) very close by: well, why not stop by. Let's go. From the highway we turn onto Siversova Street, and it’s very close there. We drive a little past the monastery and behind it there is a parking lot with information about the monastery. After what our revolutionary atheists did there, only the Kazan Cathedral has been fully restored so far. Well, the Sophia Chapel is next to it (but it is completely new, as is the sculpture of St. John of Kronstadt not far from the entrance). All other buildings are still in a sad state and require a lot of time and money. Some work is going on in the interiors of the Andronikovsky Cathedral, but when we were in the monastery (August 21, Wednesday, from 8.30 to 10 o’clock) there was no movement there and the doors of the cathedral were tightly closed. But the Kazan Cathedral turned out to be open: a large pinkish building of lush, even some kind of riotous architecture with many small details and elements. But its interior turned out to be bright, clean and calm. Classic. Filled with light. Fascinating! Interesting contrast! Well, it's deserted here for now. Apparently that’s why it’s not just allowed here, but recommended to take photographs (a rare occurrence for monasteries) and post them on the internet so that people can learn at least something about this place. Very small area. Two huge cathedrals. This also doesn't happen often. But still, now you can safely enter the territory, calmly enter one of the cathedrals and, perhaps, support the restoration of this wonderful place with at least some money. (Original) Как-то не на слуху этот монастырь, и наткнулся я на него совершенно случайно, где-то увидев фото Казанского собора. Сопоставил с нашим планируемым маршрутом и оказалось, что мы будем проезжать (да и ночевать) совсем неподалёку: ну почему бы и не заехать. Заехали. От трассы сворачиваем на Сиверсову улицу, а там совсем рядом. Проезжаем немного монастырь и за ним устроена парковка с информацией о монастыре. После того, что в нём натворили наши революционные богоборцы, вполне восстановлен пока только Казанский собор. Ну и Софийская часовенка рядом с ним (но она совсем новая, также как и скульптура Св. Иоанна Кронштадтского неподалёку от входа). Все остальные постройки пока в печальном состоянии и требуют много времени и денег. Какая-то работа идёт в интерьерах Андрониковского собора, но, когда мы были в монастыре (21 августа, в среду, с 8.30 до 10 час) никакого движения там не наблюдалось и двери собора были закрыты наглухо. Зато открытым оказался Казанский собор: большое розоватое здание пышной, даже какой-то буйной архитектуры с множеством мелких деталей и элементов. Зато интерьер его оказался светлым, чистым и спокойным. Классическим. Наполненным светом. Завораживающим! Интересный контраст! Ну и пока здесь безлюдно. Видимо поэтому здесь не просто разрешают, а рекомендуют фотографировать (редкий для монастырей случай) и выкладывать в сетях, чтобы народ хоть что-то узнал об этом месте. Очень небольшая территория. Два громадных собора. Такое тоже нечасто встречается. Но всё-таки сейчас спокойно можно попасть на территорию, спокойно войти в один из соборов и, возможно, хоть какой-то денежкой поддержать восстановление этого замечательного места.

(Translated by Google) The Vyshnevolotsk Kazan Convent was founded in 1872 on the site of the appearance of the miraculous Kazan Icon of the Mother of God, which for centuries was revered as the Great Shrine of the Vyshnevolotsk land. At the site of the apparition at the holy spring, a chapel was erected for her stay, and subsequently a temple with a bell tower, where the miraculous image was located until the destruction of the monastery. By the beginning of the 20th century, the monastery became one of the largest in Russia, numbering about 1000 nuns. It had many workshops, including painting, embroidery, sewing, shoe making and bookbinding. An orphanage was organized at the monastery, where up to 250 girls were educated, a parish school, and hospices and almshouses were maintained. After the revolution in 1919, the monastery was closed and subjected to merciless destruction. The temple with the bell tower, where the miraculous Kazan icon resided, the fence, most of the wooden buildings were destroyed, the heads of the cathedrals were demolished, and their interior decoration was lost. During Soviet times, a military unit was located on the territory of the monastery. The drainage system was ruined, as a result of which swampiness returned. Constant excess moisture causes building structures to collapse. The monastery was transferred to the Russian Orthodox Church in 1991, and its revival is currently ongoing. The monastery is open daily from 7:00 am to 8:00 pm. (Original) Вышневолоцкий Казанский женский монастырь основан в 1872 году на месте явления чудотворной казанской иконы Божией матери, на протяжении веков почитавшейся Великой святыней вышневолоцкой земли. На месте явления у святого источника была воздвигнута для ее пребывания часовня, а впоследствии храм с колокольней, где чудотворный образ находился вплоть до разорения обители. К началу XX века монастырь стал одним из крупнейших в России, насчитывая около 1000 насельниц. В нем было множество мастерских, в том числе живописная, вышивания, швейная, башмачная и переплетная. При монастыре был организован детский приют, в котором воспитывалось до 250 девочек, церковно-приходская школа, содержались странноприимные дома и богадельни. После революции в 1919 году обитель была закрыта и подвергнута беспощадному разорению. Был разрушен храм с колокольней, где пребывала чудотворная Казанская икона, ограда, большинство деревянных корпусов, снесены главы соборов, утрачено их внутренне убранство. В советское время на территории обители размещалась воинская часть. Была загублена дренажная система, вследствие чего вернулась заболоченность. От постоянного избытка влаги разрушаются конструкции зданий. Монастырь был передан Русской Православной Церкви в 1991 году, в настоящее время продолжается его возрождение. Монастырь открыт ежедневно 7:00 утра до 8:00 вечера.

(Translated by Google) I stayed at the monastery with my daughter and son at the end of October. We met us, despite the late hour, fed us and provided us with an excellent room in the monastery hotel. They didn’t ask for money, but we ourselves left a donation in the temple in the morning. Restoration work is underway at the monastery, so we recommend that all guests of Vyshny Volochok not stay away. Donate! The Vyshnevolotsky Kazan Convent is worthy of this. (Original) Останавливался в монастыре вместе с дочкой и сыном в конце октября. Встретили, несмотря на поздний час, накормили и предоставили отличный номер в монастырской гостинице. Денег не попросили, но мы сами утром оставили в храме пожертвование. В обители идут восстановительные работы, поэтому рекомендуем всем гостям Вышнего Волочка не оставаться в стороне. Жертвуйте! Вышневолоцкий Казанский женский монастырь этого достоин.

(Translated by Google) Currently, restoration of most of the buildings there is underway. But we visited this place anyway. We visited a functioning church. The idea of ​​self-service in the church surprised me. And of course this is a great idea. We couldn't pass by. I would like wealthy people to donate money to restore this holy place. Every believer will want to pray to the icon of the Kazan Mother of God. The beauty of this place is amazing to the core. (Original) Пока там идёт реставрация большинства зданий. Но мы все равно посетили это место. Посетили действующую церковь. Идея самообслуживания в церкви, удивила. И конечно это замечательная идея. Мы не смогли пройти мимо. Хочется ,что бы люди, которые обеспеченные пожертвовал деньги на восстановление этого святого места. Помолится иконе Казанской божьей матери , каждому верующему человеку захочется. Красота этого места поражает до глубины души.

(Translated by Google) A very beautiful but not very touristy place. The architecture of the buildings leaves a great impression. Was there in June 2021. There are almost no people. The church shop impressed me with its trust in kind people, you can take what you need and just leave the money, there is no one in the shop. It is under restoration but is open to the public. (Original) Очень красивое но малотуристическое место. Архитектура зданий оставляет большое впечатление. Была в июне 2021 года. Людей почти нет. Церковная лавка впечатлила доверием на добрых людей, можно взять что нужно и просто оставить деньги, в лавке никого нет. Находится на реставрации но открыт для посещения.

(Translated by Google) Atmospheric place. Unfortunately, the frost of minus 25 did not allow us to thoroughly examine everything, but there will be a reason to return. I was impressed by the cathedral! It is unfortunately closed and requires significant restoration. A service was going on in the chapel where the ascetics Blessed Lyubushka Susaninskaya and Schema-nun Maria of Samara were laid to rest. There are no people at all, but the frost probably scared us away. (Original) Атмосферное место. К сожалению, мороз в минус 25 не позволил тщательно все осмотреть, но будет повод вернуться. Впечатлил собор! Он к сожалению закрыт и требует значительной реставрации. В часовне, где упокоены подвижницы бладенная Любушка Сусанинская и схимонахиня Мария Самарская, шла служба. Людей нет вообще, но наверное спугнул мороз.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful architecture. One functioning small church. There is access to the relics of the blessed one. Everything else can only be seen from the street. Renovations are underway in all main buildings. 5 stars only for the architecture! (Original) Красивая архитектура. Одна действующая небольшая церквушка. Есть доступ к мощам блаженной. Всё остальное можно посмотреть только с улицы. Ремонт идёт во всех основных зданиях. 5-ка только за архитектуру!

(Translated by Google) a very interesting museum in a former temple in the shape of a bell, I have never seen so many bells. and you should definitely buy yourself a Valdai bell for your trip! (Original) очень интересный музей в бывшем храме в форме колокола, столько колоколов я еще не видел. и обязательно на дорожку надо купить себе валдайский колокольчик!

Best Target for Taurus.

(Translated by Google) You can't get here without a tour. It begins every new hour. And the excursion, I tell you, is not for everyone. A museum employee presents information emotionally, and often the show of one actor overshadows the meaningful component. The guide screamed and moaned and joked as best she could, but in fact we learned little about the bells. Disappointing. (Original) Сюда не попасть без экскурсии. Она начинается каждый новый час. И экскурсия, я вам скажу, на большого любителя. Сотрудница музея подаёт информацию эмоционально, и часто театр одного актёра перекрывает содержательную составляющую. Экскурсовод и кричала, и стонала, и шутила, как могла, но по факту про колокола узнали мы мало. Огорчительно.

(Translated by Google) 2022: The museum is in the temple building, there is only one small hall inside, but you cannot enter the hall. Entrance only with a guided tour. Tours by session. In short, we didn’t hit (( We really wanted it, the main point in Valdai, but we didn’t get there. (Original) 2022: Музей в здании храма, внутри только один маленький зал, но зайти в зал нельзя. Вход только с экскурсией. Экскурсии по сеансам. Короче не попали (( Очень хотели, главная точка в Валдае, но не попали.

(Translated by Google) On July 9, our family visited the bell museum in Valdai. And a miracle happened! We found ourselves on an excursion, or rather "in the auditorium" - at the benefit performance of the actress (or rather the tour guide) Yakovleva Nadezhda Petrovna. How amazingly, passionately, amusingly, heartfeltly Nadezhda Petrovna told us about the history of the origin of bells and bell ringing. How many interesting things we learned from Nadezhda Petrovna, heard how and what different bells and bells say. Thank you very much for such a fascinating excursion, for inspiration, for the amazing talent of the storyteller and actor Nadezhda Petrovna. I would like to wish everyone to meet this tour guide. And we say a HUGE THANK YOU to Nadezhda Petrovna, and may not only we be lucky enough to visit your excursion. (Original) 9 июля побывали семьей в музее колоколов на Валдае. И случилось чудо! Мы оказались на экскурсии , а точнее "в зрительном зале" - на бенефисе актрисы( а правильнее сказать экскурсовода) Яковлевой Надежды Петровны. Как удивительно, азартно, забавно, проникновенно рассказывала нам Надежда Петровна об истории возникновения колоколов и колокольного звона. Сколько интересного мы узнали от Надежды Петровны, услышали как и что говорят разные колокольчики и колокола. Спасибо огромное за такую увлекательную экскурсию, за вдохновение, за изумительный талант рассказчика и актера Надежде Петровне. Хочется всем пожелать, встретиться с этим экскурсоводом.А Надежде Петровне мы говорим ОГРОМНОЕ СПАСИБО, и пусть повезет не только нам побывать на вашей экскурсии.

(Translated by Google) An amazingly bright and joyful place! Take your time and money - take a guide. The museum is not large, but with a guide it turns into a whole magical world of bells and bells. They all come to life in your hands and tell a story about themselves with their iridescence. And at the end of the excursion we rang together the melody of the Valdai bell tower. (Original) Удивительно светлое и радостное место! Не пожалейте времени и денег - возьмите экскурсовода. Музей не большой, но с экскурсоводом он превращается в целый волшебный мир колоколов и колокольчиков. Все они оживают в ваших руках и рассказывают о себе своими переливами. А в конце экскурсии мы вместе звонили мелодией колокольни Валдая.

(Translated by Google) A very unusual museum located in a church in the shape of a rotunda, which is interesting in itself. Inside there are exhibitions dedicated, naturally, to the history of bell making in Valdai, as well as the history of the Moscow-St. Petersburg highway. During the tour you can hear the sound of bells. (Original) Очень необычный музей находящийся в церкви в форме ротонды, что само по себе интересно. Внутри экспозиции, посвященные, естественно, истории колокольного дела в Валдае, а также истории тракта Москва - Санкт-Петербург. Во время экскурсии можно услышать звучание колоколов.

(Translated by Google) So far, everything can still be seen without political coloring. The place where the history of Rus' as a state begins. It survived despite everything, not because of it. Now there is a long period of restoration. And it’s good if everything is done slowly by historians, not propagandists. It is advisable to allocate 4 hours for the inspection. Take excursions! (Original) Пока все ещё можно увидеть без политического окраса. Место откуда начинается история Руси как государства. Сохранилось вопреки всему, а не благодаря. Теперь длительный период реставрации. И хорошо если все будут делать неспешно историки, а не пропагандисты. На осмотр желательно выделить часа 4. Экскурсии брать!

750 plus years old monastery. Party used.is undergoing renovation so much of the building were not for visiting.

Silent holy place

Lovely place

(Translated by Google) It is small and it is clear that the monastery is not rich. The main historical and architectural value on the territory of the monastery is the Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary from the 12th century, the northernmost stone church in pre-Mongol Rus'. I’m not an expert, but the church reminded me of the Novgorod school. There is another functioning church on the territory - the Church of the Exaltation. There is a shop with amazing gingerbread cookies. I have never tasted anything tastier in my life. I recommend it. There are very few nuns, we talked to one - the impressions were the most pleasant. In general, the place is historically significant and has strong energy. (Original) Небольшой и видно, что небогатый монастырь. Главная историческая и архитектурная ценность на территории монастыря - церковь Успения Пресвятой Богородицы 12 века, самый северный каменный храм в домонгольской Руси. Я не специалист, но мне церковь напомнила Новгородскую школу. На территории есть ещё одна действующая церковь - церковь Воздвижения. При ней есть лавка с удивительным пряниками. Я вкуснее в жизни не пробовал. Рекомендую. Монахинь совсем немного, пообщались с одной - впечатления самые приятные. В общем место исторически значимое и энергетики сильное.

(Translated by Google) I got there and didn’t understand where I ended up. There is no parking, we are standing along the road. The territory looks more like someone's backyard. Here, a film could be made, about a mental hospital, for example. There are a lot of ruins, everywhere there are inscriptions “entrance (passage) by blessing.” It doesn't look much like a monastery. I’m not an expert, much less a person close to religion, but in other similar institutions there is a main building, but none was found here. Maybe because of modern realities, we are accustomed to sparkling, well-kept monasteries. Of more interest was the wall of the monastery, which runs along the road. I have no desire to return. Okay, at least admission is free. (Original) Попал и не понял где оказался. Парковки нет, стоим вдоль дороги. Территория больше похожа на чей то приусадебный участок. Тут и фильм можно было-бы снять, про психушку например. Очень много руин, повсюду надписи "вход (проход) по благославению". Не очень то на монастырь похоже. Не яваляюсь знатоком и уж темболее близким к религии человеком, но в иных подобных заведениях имеется главное сооружение, тут такового не обнаружено. Может из за современных реалий мы привыкли к сверкающим, ухоженным монастырям. Больше интерес произвела стена монастыря, которая идёт в доль дороги. Возвращаться желания нету. Ладно хоть вход бесплатный.

(Translated by Google) It's quite unusual to "rate" places like this. So I'll just describe my feelings. This was my first time entering the territory of the convent. I was in the men's, but never in the women's. And the first feeling was like I was in a place where I was healing and comforted. Such energy, in my opinion, is as if the Sisters of Mercy live here. Everything is so truly femininely groomed. Everywhere there is a woman's hand and vision. Where a man would not even pay attention to something - women's hands made it all dear to the heart. I didn’t visit churches, I just went with an escort into the territory of the monastery. (Original) Довольно не обычно "ставить оценку" подобным местам. Так что просто опишу свои ощущения. На территорию женского монастыря попал впервые. В мужских был, а вот в женских не доводилось. И первое ощущение словно попал в место, где исцеляю и утешают. Такая энергетика, на мой взгляд, словно здесь живут сестры Милосердия. Все так по настоящему по-женски ухожено. Везде приложена женская рука и виденье. Там где мужчина, даже не обратил бы на что-то внимание - женские руки все это сделали милым сердцу. Храмы не посещал, просто заходил в сопровождении на территорию монастыря.

(Translated by Google) The place is unfriendly, you can only see the architecture from the outside! You can go inside only after a blessing! And there is no one to receive a blessing - everyone is busy! The territory is not sick! The novices or workers of the monastery are angry and unfriendly. They asked to show the children a closer look at the chickens - the answer was this: I have no time to deal with you, and in general your shoes don’t fit, they’re not sterile, and there are children goats. The child stroked a chained barking dog, here they scolded you. Don’t touch the animals. But for that you can sell zucchini to a man on the threshold of the chapel))) In general There is no desire to visit this place twice. (Original) Место недоброжелательное, архитектуру можно только снаружи посмотреть !Во внутрь можно только после благословления!А получить благословление не у кого- все заняты! Территория не больная !Послушницы или работницы монастыря злые неприветливые.Попросили показать детям посмотреть поближе курочек-ответ был такой:мне некогда вами заниматься,и вообще у вас обувь не подходит,не стерильная ,а там козы дети.Ребенок погладил цепную лающую собачку, тут же обругали.Не трогайте животных.Но за то можно на пороге в часовню продавать кабачки мужчине)))В общем 2 раз желание посетить данное место нет.

You wouldn't be able to get close to it unless you book an excursion beforehand. Other than that is quite charming

The lighthouse is falling apart, the access to the lake is blocked by ugly buildings. Rubbish is all over the place, local authorities obviously busy with something else but looking after the surrounding area!!

Great beach. Beautiful scenery.

Absolutely lovely place. A lot of fun for adults and children

Very nice, a nice place to spend a day in nature next to an amazing lake

Pretty old lighthouse with no way to get in. Adds a lot of romantic mood to the pace tho

Excelent place!

A very beautiful and big park where one could walk and contemplate beauty for hours. There are lots of trees that look like a wild forest but it is obvious that they are also looked after. I did not go into the museums so can't say about them.

Beautiful palace not far from the more touristy Tsarskoye Selo. Beautiful, intimate rooms in a fabulous park setting. The interiors are exquisite. No crowds when I visited. I recommend paying extra to see the private apartments of the dowager empress

Really great place to walk around. Visited in winter. Beautiful snow and icy Park. Probably even better in summer

A park that my family loves to walk during the summer. Our trip out this weekend was a bit early in the season and the weather was a bit chilly. During the summer that gardens are full or different kinds of flowers. There are even parts of the park where a person can go and lay out in the grass, a true luxury in Russia. Be sure and bring some nuts as there are many hungry squirrels who will gladly come get them out of your hand. This is a lot of fun for kids.

Great park to work around any time of the day! I believe it’s free after 5pm!

Worth to visit. Interesting short tour around private garden. Beautiful place.

Beautiful palace heir to the throne of the Russian Empire. A small palace and a large park. Everything is very beautiful.

Really nice, but almost impossible to get there by public transportation! We went to the ice skating “forest”, it was pretty cool.

Sad to say, we could not get in as it was too late in the day, but surely we would as it's a gateway to understand their literature and culture.

A good museum to visit once. Bear in mind there is no restroom for visitors just in case.

Check for a tour to back to school times

It was a great, historical beauty

(Translated by Google) An interesting memorial museum dedicated to the childhood years and studies at the Imperial Lyceum of the great Russian poet. He was, of course, a very contradictory personality despite his undeniable talent. The work of Alexander Pushkin is our national treasure. The entrance ticket prices are high in my opinion. 800 rubles with excursion service. The management seems to be interested in making money from tourists. Even for disabled children there is no free entry. Groups of visitors come one after another. Like a conveyor belt. (Original) Интересный мемориальный музей, посвященным детским годам и учебе в Императорском лицее великого русского поэта. Личностью он конечно был очень противоречивой при его бесспорном таланте. Творчество Александра Пушкина - это наше национальное достояние. Цены на входные билеты на мой взгляд высокие. 800 рублей с экскурсионным обслуживанием. Дирекция похоже увлеклась зарабатыванием денег на туристах. Даже для детей-инвалидов нет бесплатного входа. Группы посетителей идут одна за другой. Как конвеер.

(Translated by Google) We didn’t take tickets in advance, we arrived and actually took a live tour for the near future, so we had to wait about an hour. But this is not scary, since the museum is located in the center and you can take a walk, drink coffee, etc. It is possible to take an audio guide, but I read somewhere that they recommend a live one. We didn’t regret it at all. I definitely recommend visiting the museum; there is a special atmosphere here. (Original) Заранее билеты не брали, приехали и взяли по факту живую экскурсию на ближайшее время, поэтому пришлось ждать около часа. Но это не страшно, так как музей находится в центре и можно прогуляться, выпить кофе и т.п. Есть возможность взять аудиогида, но где-то прочитала, что рекомендуют именно живую. О чем вообще не пожалели. Музей к посещению однозначно рекомендую, здесь какая-то особенная атмосфера.

(Translated by Google) A very interesting historical object. You can come with children, especially schoolchildren. I recommend ordering a tour service or taking an audio guide; there may not be enough information for independent exploration. The guide's story is fascinating, with quotes from poems, letters, memories - complete delight)) Of course, the most interesting objects are those associated with the personality of Pushkin. The museum has a cloakroom, toilet and souvenir shop. Entrance only with masks (Original) Очень интересный исторический объект. Можно прийти с детьми, особенно со школьниками. Рекомендую заказать экскурсионное обслуживание или взять аудиогид, для самостоятельного осмотра информации может быть маловато. Рассказ экскурсовода увлекательный,с цитатами стихов, писем, воспоминаний-полный восторг)) Конечно самые интересные объекты-связанные с личностью Пушкина. В музее есть гардероб, туалет и сувенирный магазинчик. Вход только в масках

Everything was ok except for the exorbitant price for a ticket for a foreigner. 2500 rubles for a 30 minute tour with minimal English. In Europe we have the same prices for everyone.

I come back after 8 years. The exterior and the park are really amazing, a must see. About the interior tour, re her living zone, which I did for the first time, well, I am not sure is something to be seen... First of all you will discover that almost everything was bombed or robbed during second world war, so you are looking to a replica, which is taking away all the magic from it since......since let us be honest, interiors are unreal ugly. Too much of everthing without real balance and well thought details. And when you see it as a replica, you start to think 💬 well why to remake such a kitsch interior and not even to the end (not all the rooms have been restored until the end ). Also, the guide we had was so boring, lots of details repeating over and over... In general, the visit to the interior I won't recommend it, you won't loose anything. The park yes, that is a piece of art to be seen.

Beautiful. Grand. Bold. The palace is stunning and both the Catherine and Alexander parks are beautiful. I really want to visit the Alexander Palace when it opens after renovations. Which may take years sadly. The Amber Room is amazing. The post war photos of the destruction are sobering

Exhilarating experience to see so much grandeur and beauty! The interiors of Catherine's Palace are truly awe-inspiring, especially the Amber Room. Entry into the Palace always involves a longish queue, but it's worth it. If you have the stamina, don't miss out the stunning Palace gardens either. As splendid as the Palace interiors.

A great place just a train or a bus ride from St. Petersburg. The park is beautiful and the palace tour is nice. Be prepared to wait in line for about 30 minutes to an hour since there are a lot of visitors and due to the capacity, only certain number are allowed every 15 minutes.

Beautifully restored back to almost original greatness. Displays the crazy wealth of the Romanovs. Also a nice example of the Russian taste for gold and ornaments. Best to visit off season to avoid the largest hordes of tourists.

A don't miss site in St Petersburg. Tickets go on sale 30 days prior, don't miss the date, they will be sold out 29 days prior (the tixs for Catherine Palace). You can still get a tix via a long line or by joining a tour. All of the rooms are beautiful but the amber room alone is worth the visit.

Amazing park, need at least two hours to walk around!

Catherine Palace, it is a park in Tsarskaya Village, Russia, located 25 km southeast of St. Petersburg. Catherine Park gets its name from Catherine Palace, and the park is divided into two parts: the Garden and the English Garden. When you come to St. Petersburg, you should take a stroll and enjoy the beauty and tranquility of the area

The park itself is nice, but the palace is super underwhelming inaccessible. You have to buy ticket for each small section of the palace, and it’s quite pricey as well. In addition, there is absolute no English translation, no English audio or tour guide, and the staff does not speak any English at all as well.

There are a lot of beautiful places around the world where you will feel happy and relaxed yourself. And Catherine Park is definitely one of those places. I had so warm walk with my soulmate in the amazing place with incredible views just everywhere you turn your head. The perennial trees, ponds, beautiful buildings with a long history. So precious moments of life.🤍

My family's favorite park grounds. We walk the grounds at least once a year. There are lots of fun paths for kids to explore. If you bring nuts you can also sometimes feed squirrels or chickadees. Don't forget to walk behind the palace to the left and explore some lovely gardens with statues there.

Amazing gardens. There are several pavilion to visit and they all have wildly different styles, which makes it fun. Some are available to visit with a ticket (like the amazing Cold Baths, where the Agathe Rooms are located) and some can be visited for free (like the Chinese style pavilion and the Italian Style pavilion with authentic roman mosaics from the 2nd century) Just strolling around is nice, and they are more chilled than Petergof, with lots of locals enjoying the scene.

A dream of a spacious garden. The beautiful Baroque palaces are surrounded by fantastic French and English gardens. There are also various very interesting outbuildings. You have to search in Europe for a long time to find comparable.

It is being renovated as when I visited, it seems like just painted white and bright blue. It is very beautiful and you can walk around. You can get inside the cathedral but cannot get inside the buildings around as they are currently the university.

The interior of the church is not so special but the design and ornaments of the building is ravishing. You can use the stairs inside the church to climb top of the building. It takes some effort but the view is worth it.

Truly a "wow" from afar and inside. Probably one of the most beautiful cathedrals I have seen with the calm blue exterior and the "pure" white ( and some gold) interior. The Cathedral was founded in 1748 by the empress Elizabeth Petrovna and was consecrated on July 20, 1835. There are scheduled visits to the belfry. Around the main cathedral are several other buildings that also served as a girls school. Definitely worth a visit.

It's not quite like the other cathedrals in Russia. It has more elegant decorating. Though one part is still under reconstruction, you can walk inside and see white walls with golden images of the saints. Also you can take around 280 steps up to the bell tower, to see the city.

Beautiful Smol’nyy. You have to wear Long pants and cover your head for ladies. The top is accessible for a fee. The place is very very beautiful with a back garden. Highly recommended as not much tourist around and you can enjoy the place taking photos.

An amazing view from the top! Good alternative for Isaac's cathedral. Entrance for the belfry is free students (150 for adults)

This church and the story behind it make me really surprised. U must visit here , the vibe and the architect will blow your mind. Honestly is worth to visit this church . Btw You cant fly anydrones in this area!

A truly beautiful park that reminded me a lot of the palace gardens in Potsdam. Although the park is located next to the Katharinenpark, it is much quieter and you can enjoy the green of nature.

Not so many people as in the next Ekaterininsky, the palace is under the reconstruction, but the bridges are already ready, as well as the Chinese village. The Ekaterininsky palace and its golden gate from the rear

Good park to walk, but not all passes without mud 😀

A wonderful walk in a beautiful park! WC is 30rub.

It's great for nature, we were walking after the rain and the smell was awesome. It's not equipped though.

Nature is always good. And if a sunny winter day, then in a double. We must walk more often. we everywhere are beautiful. The park has recently become even better. Walk those. be surprised. Love.

Nice place. You can rent bicycle near to this park.

Just a fast but interesting drive through the avenue but followed later on with a slower walk. The Avenue contains so many great historic buildings with architecture and interesting frontages. But you have to do it on foot to really appreciate the multiple sites.

The most famous street in Saint Petersburg

The beautiful Nevsky Avenue street, which I know from Russian literary works, is like a dream.

Just as it is described in Gogol's Petersburg Tales. Comparable, even better than the famous Champs-Élysées in my opinion.

the main street in saint Petersburg is Nevsky. all brands and great store and also discos are located in this street. at the end of the street there is a shopping mall which has lots of brands and items. at the highest floor it has a food court which serves any kind of food an drinks to enjoy.

never been there, but someone did try to hack my instagram. from their hotel room looking over this street.

A very beautiful and wonderful place.

Beautiful statues at the Anichkov Bridge, the oldest and most famous bridge across the Fontanka River in Saint Petersburg, Russia.

Anichkov Bridge is a must-see in St. Petersburg. The stunning horse statues, historic atmosphere, and great views of the Fontanka River make it perfect for photos and walks. Especially beautiful at sunset.

Decorative bridge in the place where Fontanka river meets Nevsky Prospekt. The bridge itself is not that long, though, some tens of meters. But views at and around and statues also are definitely worth a visit. Especially during the light nights.

This is a famous bridge in St. Petersburg that crosses the Fontanka River along Nevsky Prospekt. It is a relatively short crossing that is decorative and features four landmark sculptures of horse tamers. Constructed in 1841-42, the bridge features appealing iron railings. However, the highlight is seeing the four large horse tamer sculptures, which were installed at the two ends of the bridge between 1849-50. These are individually impressive works of art, particularly for those who enjoy viewing sculptures and statues. Note: The Anichkov Bridge and its sculptures are particularly nice to see when viewed from the opposite bank to the pink coloured Beloselsky-Belozersky Palace. If you position yourself correctly, you can capture all in the same frame, allowing some decent pictures to be taken. In the end, we liked the Anichkov bridge. This is a quick attraction to view and enjoy if you find yourself in this area of St. Petersburg during your visit to the city.

Nice place to hangout, busy and a beautiful street. Great river views to capture some amazing shots.

st petersburg at nite is architectural beauty in full display. the descent to the subway feels like going to center earth. do not plan to travel by subway after 11 pm, it is closed. cabs are cheap and plentiful, just close your eyes to avoid stress.

Beautiful bridge in the heart of the city. There are four sculptures on the corners of a bridge: "Taming a horse by a man” (sculptor Peter Klodt) are a symbols of a city one should definitely see.

Permanent exhibit is worth visiting if you love history. Even if you are not passionate about luxury, Saint Petersburg’s history is tied to opulence.

It’s a must while on ST Petersburg. Amazing pieces not just art and craftsmanship but history. Excellent

Must not miss this museum! Amazing collection of Fabergé eggs and art.

Well I really cannot add to what has already been said. Its an extraordinary Museum and, if I had a huge amount of money I maybe could have bought what my wife wanted. But not to be. This famous Museum is located in the beautiful Shuvalov Palace on the Fontanka River and house the world's largest collection of works by Carl Fabergé, including nine of the famous Imperial Easter Eggs. These eggs are not only stunning jeweled works of art but also unique historical artifacts.

It is one of the most beautiful museums I have ever visited. It has some of the most famous Faberge eggs. The museum was not overcrowded, therefore I was able to see all objects. In addition, the museum has an amazing gift shop! They have very nice Faberge branded items, including very beautiful jewellery. The staff members speak English and it is possible to get English audio guide.

The Fabergé Museum in St. Petersburg offers a unique chance to see the famous imperial Fabergé eggs and other exquisite jewelry masterpieces. Visitors can experience Russian history and craftsmanship up close, all within the stunning setting of the Shuvalov Palace. male guards at the entrance and exit are very rude.

One of the most beautiful museums to visit in St Petersburg. The fabrezé eggs are jaw dropping nothing like any another jewellery you've seen before. Everyone has to place their coat in wardrobe and the protection on shoes, to keep the place clean. Only one minus is that there was a misunderstanding with the tickets and we had to go the next day to visit it.

First time I was here was 6 years ago, I visited again today and it's still an awesome place to visit. Everything is very clean, the lighting in the tanks is great! Good variety, lots of sea life to watch.

I likes this place a bit crowdy good for kids even for adults who likes fishes . Variety of fishes across the globe are there. For each fish they maintained proper aura with sound effects. I likes star fish as this my first experience. Piranha was available. Sharks are there. Penguins and seals are I the last. Jelly fish was amazing and snake fish alsi available. The cave was amazing there is a conveyer belt just stand on that and it will take you through that cave made of glass and you will feel like small shark is going to attack you as they are swimming close to your head. Just was the best part of oceanarium . Any tourist must visit this place. Hope this will help you.

Very good place in St Ptb. It is almost as good as the aquarium in Moscow. The only bad stuff is that there is not enough distance between people, and sometimes people is too near.

Worth going with kids. Even if there are posters with “no photoshoot has with light” there are authorized staff who will take professionally photos of you and your family. During shows like feeding a shark there are a hole lot of people and you have to take your sit beforehand. Otherwise you won’t be able to see anything. Observing area is very very small. Some fishes are in not so good condition from my point of view (i don’t have any knowledge in tho field though), but their tanks are to small to maneuver. Makes me sad 😞 Souvenir shop is full of seashells.

There is animal abuse, how is possible that a turtle doesn't have any space to move because there is not enough room, and the excuses for it aren't good reasons

Amazing place with thousands of different fishes . But some fishes had too little space to move around .

It was awesome the tickets were a little expensive but really great especially for kids

Why is the ticket price for foreigners higher than for Russians? 1000 rubles for a 10-minute tour with minimal English is quite a lot. That's why we bought a ticket for just one person for 1000 rubles instead of two for 1200 rubles. In Europe we have the same prices for everyone.

After waiting in line for approximately 47 minutes from 2:30 PM, we finally entered the Aurora around 3:30. The ticket price for foreigners was 1,000 rubles, while Russian residents paid 600 rubles. There are also special rates for groups, people with disabilities, and retirees. (It takes around 30 mns to roam around the ship but if you’re interested it would take double the time). The ship itself is beautifully preserved. it’s clear that great care is taken with its upkeep, from the fresh paint to its cleanliness. Stepping aboard felt like traveling back in time, offering a fascinating glimpse into what naval ships of the past were like. As someone who loves history & vintage treasures, I truly appreciated this opportunity and am thankful to Russia for preserving such an iconic piece. At last, The only unfortunate thing is that there was nothing explained in English, so I had to take photos in order to translate, to understand the information. Exploring the interior was both educational and captivating. Visitors can see how naval soldiers once lived, including the spaces they worked in and even the utensils they ate with. It’s an experience I’m glad to have had, & I’m happy to share some photos from my visit.

Great for a short outing and taking in some naval history while you are at it... Central to some interesting cafes and restaurants in the area... Bought some interesting souvenirs in the area...

Enjoyed a guided tour to famous Cruiser Aurora. The ship was full of history giving a deep insight into the lives of sailors onboard and her operational importance for the nation

Good place to visit, especially if you are interested in military. Tickets are slightly on the pricer side given that there's not much to see. Great place nonetheless.

Minimal english in the museum. There is audio guide but nobody knows english so even buying audio guide can be challenging.

Memorial to the ship that started the Bolshevik revolution (allegedly) : the Aurora. Well preserved vessel, interactive and informative displays.
