(Translated by Google) As of August 2024, restoration work is underway in the monastery. But you can walk around the territory. The temple is open and services are held. For 100 rubles you can go up to the observation deck of one of the towers. And admire Lake Nero. There is also a chapel with a spring. But the water tasted strange, like mineral water without gas. Overall a very pleasant experience (Original) На август 2024 в монастыре ведутся реставрационные работы. Но прогуляться по территории можно. Храм работает, службы проводятся. За 100 руб можно подняться на смотровую- одну из башен. И полюбоваться на озеро Неро. Также есть часовня с источником. Но вода на вкус оказалась странной, как будто минералка без газа.

(Translated by Google) The Spaso-Yakovlevsky Dimitriev Monastery is located on the southern outskirts of the city. It is easy to get there from the train station by bus #5 to the stop on Oktyabrskaya Street and then walk along Dobrolyubova Street straight for about 500 m. Entrance is free. Large-scale restoration work is currently underway on the territory. For 100 rubles (cash only) you can buy a visit to the observation deck located on the southwest tower. Souvenirs can be purchased outside the territory in front of the central entrance. (Original) Спасо-Яковлевский Димитриев мужской монастырь находится на южной окраине города.

(Translated by Google) Spaso-Yakovlevsky Dimitriev Monastery in February at sunset was unforgettable! I was amazed by the beauty of the monastery, which is located on the shore of Lake Nero. When the sun began to sink below the horizon, the monastery became even more majestic and mysterious. We spent the sunset on the observation deck enjoying the peace and quiet. We saw the Transfiguration Church with its domes slightly glowing from the setting sun. And then we froze and ran away to the hotel) #rostov #sunset #monastery #russia #2023 #sony #a7iii #miralpha (Original) Спасо-Яковлевский Димитриев монастырь в феврале на закате был незабываем! Я был поражен красотой монастыря, который расположен на берегу озера Неро. Когда солнце начало опускаться за горизонт, монастырь стал еще более величественным и загадочным. Мы провели закат на смотровой площадке наслаждаясь тишиной и спокойствием. Увидели Преображенскую церковь с чуть горящими куполами от садящегося солнца. А потом замерзли и убежали в гостишку) #ростов #закат #монастырь #россия #2023 #sony #a7iii #miralpha

Not far from the monastery there is an equipped public toilet. The only thing in the local kiosk is that they do not accept cards.

(Translated by Google) Museum "Frog Princess" This was the second trip to Rostov, which had just officially become Great. We have already visited the Rostov Kremlin, the enamel factory, and much more. Therefore, I went to the Museum of the Frog Princess not only without interest, but definitely with a certain skepticism. And it was such a surprise! An ordinary Enthusiast restored a destroyed architectural monument and placed a real frog kingdom there. It’s simply amazing, but at the time of our excursion, more than 6,500 princesses were already sitting there, croaking, singing and dancing! And the guide was interesting, the exposition was cool. You can shoot at the beauty’s heart with a bow and crush Koshchei. And eat a bagel with a fortune. A special treat for all photo and video lovers. Guys can do anything. And it's free. Pay only for the ticket for the excursion. Therefore, feel free to include a visit to this amazing kingdom in your trip. (Original) Музей "Царевны лягушки" Это была вторая поездка в Ростов, который только только официально стал Великим. Мы уже посещали и Ростовский Кремль, и фабрику финифти, и много чего ещё. Поэтому в Музей Царевны - лягушки я шёл не то, что без интереса, но точно с определённым скепсисом. И это было такое удивление! Обычный Энтузиаст отреставрировал разрушенный памятник архитектуры и разместил там настоящее лягушечье царство. Просто поразительно, но на момент нашей экскурсии там уже сидело, квакало, пело и танцевало более 6500 царевен! И экскурсовод была интересная, экспозиция классная. Можно в и сердце красавицы из лука пострелять, и Кощея сокрушить. И съесть баранку с предсказанием. Всем любителям фото и видео отдельная радость. Ребята может всё всё. И бесплатно. Оплата только за билет за экскурсию. Потому смело включайте посещение этого удивительного царства в свою поездку.

(Translated by Google) As a frog collector, I have long wanted to visit this museum and now the chance has presented itself. According to Google maps, I arrived in Rostov very accurately and on time for the start of the excursion, which starts every hour. The museum opens at 10-00. The merchant's house was very beautifully restored. Bright, green in color, even on a rainy day this house can be seen from afar. The excursion is interesting for both children and adults. The duration of the tour is about 35 minutes. Payment for an adult is 150 rubles. After the excursion you can buy souvenirs, but pay in cash (this must be taken into account). (Original) Мне, как коллекционеру лягушек, давно хотелось посетить этот музей и вот представился шанс. По картам "Гугл" очень точно и вовремя приехала в Ростов к началу экскурсии, которые начинаются каждый час. Музей открывается в 10-00. Очень красиво отреставрирован купеческий дом. Яркий, зелёной окраски, даже в дождливый день этот дом видно издалека. Экскурсия интересна как деткам, так и взрослым. Продолжительность экскурсии около 35 минут. Оплата взрослому 150 р. После экскурсии можно купить сувениры, но оплата наличными ( это надо учесть ).

The tour lasts approximately 40 minutes. You can not only watch, but also shoot with a bow, solve riddles and bake pies in the oven. The museum has its own very decent hotel in the style of the museum (Original) Хороший музей, рассказывающий историю местного сказочного персонажа. Совсем недорого (цена детского билета 50 рублей).

Cathedral of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Mentioned on 
3 lists 
Cathedral
Sights & Landmarks
Churches & Cathedrals
The Cathedral of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary is a remarkable temple with a rich historical background spanning many centuries. Its exterior exudes grandeur and magnificence, and it is hoped that the surrounding area will remain in its original state, devoid of modern additions like flower beds, in order to preserve its authenticity. However, ongoing reconstruction work within the cathedral has caused some confusion as to why it is taking so long, particularly considering its significance as part of the Golden Ring.
(Translated by Google) The Assumption Cathedral is the oldest building in the city. The temple was built in 1508-1512. on the site of its white stone predecessors of the 12th - 13th centuries. The majestic volume of the cathedral, covered with keel-shaped roofs, is crowned by a powerful five-domed dome. The internal six-pillar structure of the building on the facades is revealed by pilasters of rather large extension. Numerous decorative elements - arcature-columnar belts, horizontal panel rods, etc. — give the appearance of the temple a special plastic expressiveness. Admission is free. Here you can pay for the entrance to the belfry. (Original) Успенский собор — старейшее здание города. Храм построен в 1508-1512 гг. на месте своих белокаменных предшественников ХII — ХIII вв. Величественный объем собора, крытый по килевидным закомарам, венчает мощное пятиглавие. Внутреннюю шестистолпную конструкцию здания на фасадах выявляют пилястры довольно большого выноса. Многочисленные декоративные элементы — аркатурно-колончатые пояса, горизонтальные тяги филенки и т.п. — придают облику храма особую пластическую выразительность. Вход бесплатный. Здесь можно оплатить вход на звонницу.

(Translated by Google) The Cathedral of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary was founded in 1512. It is a truly majestic building of the city. It can be seen from far away from different places, even when you pass by Rostov on a train. The best view of the Assumption Cathedral opens either from Lake Nero or from the bell tower of the cathedral. In 2025, large-scale restoration work is being carried out inside to restore the wall paintings. Everything is in scaffolding. You can now go to the altar part, where the relics of St. Leonty Rostotsky are installed. (Original) Кафедральный собор Успения Пресвятой Богородицы основан в 1512 году. по истине величественное сооружение города. Его видно далеко из разных мест, даже когда проезжаешь на поезде мимо Ростова. Лучший вид на Успенский собор открывается либо со стороны озера Неро, либо со звонницы собора. На 2025 год внутри проводятся масштабные реставрационные работы по восстановлению росписей стен. Все в строительных лесах. Можно сейчас пройти в алтарную часть, где установлены мощи святого Леонтия Ростоцкого.

(Translated by Google) Previously, there was a wooden church on this site, which burned down in 1160. In 1161, by order of Andrei Bogolyubsky, Grand Prince of Vladimir, construction began on a white-stone building. Its vaults, due to the "incompetence of the German Kufir," collapsed in 1204. The new construction took 17 years. Another major fire occurred in 1408, destroying the vaults and dome of the cathedral. It was subsequently rebuilt in white stone. The current brick church was built between 1508 and 1512. In the 17th century, during the construction of the bishop's palace, it was rebuilt, adding a new ceremonial porch. Several more minor alterations followed. The diocese was then moved to Yaroslavl, and after the revolution, the church was closed altogether. Fortunately, however, it was not destroyed; instead, it was given to a museum. In 1991 it was returned to the believers... (Original) Раньше на этом месте была деревянная церковь, которая в 1160 году сгорела. В 1161 году, по повелению Великого князя Владимирского Андрея Боголюбского была начата постройка белокаменного здания, своды которого по причине «неискусства немчина Куфира» обрушились в 1204 году. Новая постройка заняла 17 лет. Очередной сильный пожар случился в 1408 году, рухнули своды и глава собора. После чего он был вновь восстановлен из белого камня. Современная кирпичная церковь была построена в 1508-1512 годах. В XVII веке, при строительстве архиерейского двора она перестраивалась, было оборудовано новое парадное крыльцо. Потом было ещё несколько незначительных переделок. Потом епархию перенесли в Ярославль, а после революции храм вообще закрыли. Но, по счастью, не разрушили, а отдали музею. В 1991 году его вернули верующим...

(Translated by Google) A large and beautiful cathedral on the territory of the Kremlin. An excellent view of the temple and its domes opens from the observation deck on the belfry of the Assumption Cathedral. At the time of our visit, there was scaffolding inside, apparently for restoration, since some of the icons were removed and some of the walls with paintings were closed. We are waiting for the work to be completed. 👌 (Original) Большой и красивый собор на территории кремля. Отличный вид на храм и его купола открывается со смотровой площадки на звоннице Успенского собора. В момент нашего визита внутри были строительные леса, видимо для реставрации, так как часть икон изъяты и часть стен с росписями были закрыты. Ждём завершения работ. 👌

(Translated by Google) One of the most beautiful temples, with a territory that takes us back several centuries, from the outside everything is magnificent, impressive with its grandeur, I would like the territory to remain in its original form as it was several centuries ago, without flower beds and flower beds, which are characteristic of our time. But inside the temple is undergoing reconstruction; it is not clear why it is taking so long, because this is the Golden Ring. (Original) Один из самых красивых храмов, с территорией, которая переносит нас на несколько веков назад, с наружи все великолепно, впечатляет своим величием, хотелось что бы терриротиря осталась в первоначальном виде как и несколько столетий назад, без цветников и клумб, которые свойственны нашему времени. Но внутри храм находиться на реконструкции, непонятно, почему так долго она идёт, ведь это Золотое кольцо.

(Translated by Google) A very beautiful cathedral, similar to the Assumption Cathedral in the Moscow Kremlin. The cathedral is made of brick, and the base and strongly protruding blades are made of white stone. Numerous decorative elements: arcature-columnar belts, horizontal panel rods, etc. give the appearance of the temple a special plastic expressiveness, beauty and stability to this day. The apses of the temple are decorated with columns, giving them an upward direction. The cathedral is crowned with five powerful domes on light drums. Initially the chapters were somewhat different (possibly helmet-shaped), and in the 18th century. they were replaced with the current bulbous ones, covered with a ploughshare. (Original) Очень красивый собор, похож на Успенский в Московском кремле. Собор сложен из кирпича, а цоколь и сильно выступающие лопатки из белого камня. Многочисленные декоративные элементы: аркатурно-колончатые пояса, горизонтальные тяги филенки и т. п. придают облику храма особую пластическую выразительность, красоту и устойчивость до сих пор. Апсиды храма украшены колонками, придающими им устремленность вверх. Венчают собор пять мощных глав на световых барабанах. Первоначально главы были несколько иными (возможно, шлемовидными), а в XVIII в. их заменили на нынешние луковичные, крытые лемехом.

Gostevoy Dom "Dom Remosel" is a great place to discover and support local artisans. The handmade souvenirs offered are truly unique, avoiding the mass-produced items commonly found from overseas. Though payment can only be made in cash, the lower floor offers engaging master classes for both children and adults. The staff is welcoming and knowledgeable, readily sharing insights about the products and techniques used. Additionally, the prices are reasonable, making these authentic crafts accessible to all visitors.
(Translated by Google) I was there 2 years ago, and the impression is still positive. The house itself is small, but it has both a museum and a souvenir shop, which is amazing. Downstairs they conduct master classes on painting clay toys, very inexpensively. There are cats living in the courtyard, and since I adore them, I immediately liked the place. There are benches and funny figures in the garden. One of the best places in Rostov! (Original) Я была там 2 года назад, а впечатление до сих пор положительное. Сам домик небольшой, но в нем есть и музей, и сувенирная лавка, что глаза разбегаются. Внизу проводят мастер классы по росписи глиняных игрушек, совсем недорого. При дворе живут кошки, а так как я их обожаю, место мне сразу же понравилось. В саду есть лавочки и забавные фигурки. Одно из лучших мест в Ростове!

In the old house of the Rykunin merchants, there is an exhibition and sale of works by craftsmen. You can take part in master classes. The house can be accessed both from the street and from the lake. There is a soft cat living in the house. (Original) Очень понравились авторские куклы Ливановой Ольги Николаевны, приобрели. В старинном доме купцов Рыкуниных выставка-продажа работ мастеров народных промыслов. Можно поучавствовать в мастер-классах. К дому можно пройти как с улицы, так и со стороны озера. В доме живёт мягкий котик.

(Translated by Google) We visited the HOUSE OF CRAFTS on May 6th. We booked in advance, about 3 weeks in advance. I LOVED IT!!! Excursion 50 rub. Tea party 100 rub. Master class 350 rub. PRICES ARE FIRE!!! We arrived in the evening, drank tea and pies (you can discuss your preferences, whether you want sweet or not, you want different ones for every taste). Then there was a short excursion about Rostov crafts and crafts in general. Very short, but interesting. Worth a listen. Then a master class. Painting of a whistle BLACK POLISHED CERAMICS. There are figurines for every taste and traditional ones in the shape of a bird and figurines of various animals (frog, seals, owls). The master is a very nice girl - attentive, polite, knows how to get along with children, she will help and advise everything, she does not rush. And then we bought souvenirs here. I read the reviews in advance, so we knew that we needed to buy souvenirs and gifts here. THE SELECTION IS HUGE, PRICES ARE MUCH LOWER THAN IN THE CITY. LITERALLY 200 METERS INTO THE CENTER AND THE PRICE SOARS UP. SO I RECOMMEND BUYING HERE. We bought magnets, vases, bells, tiles, tea, a wooden spoon, I even bought a Rostov Finift brooch here. Although we were at the Rostov Finift museum in the morning, the prices in the store there are higher!!! RESULT - A MUST VISIT!!! GUESTS ARE WELCOME HERE AND APPRECIATED!!! GREAT ATTITUDE!!! PRICES ARE LOW!!! COME TO THE HOUSE OF CRAFTS ROSTOV, YAROSLAV REGION (Original) Посетили ДОМ РЕМЁСЕЛ 6 мая. Бронировали, заранее, примерно за 3 недели. ОЧЕНЬ ПОНРАВИЛОСЬ!!! Экскурсия 50 р. Чаепитие 100 р. Мастер-класс 350 р. ЦЕНЫ ОГОНЬ!!! Были уже вечером, попили чай с пирогами (можно обговорить предпочтения, хотите сладкие, хотите нет, хотите разные на любой вкус). Потом была небольшая экскурсия про ростовские ремёсла и ремёсла в целом. Очень коротко, но интересно. Стоит послушать. Затем мастер-класс. Роспись свистульки ЧЕРНОЛОЩЁНАЯ КЕРАМИКА. Фигурки есть на любой вкус и традиционная в форме птички и фигурки разных животных (лягушка, котики, совы). Мастер очень приятная девушка-внимательная, вежливая, умеет ладить с детьми, всё поможет и подскажет, не торопит. А потом купили сувениры здесь же. Читала отзывы, заранее, поэтому знали, что нужно здесь покупать сувениры и подарки. ВЫБОР ОГРОМНЫЙ, ЦЕНЫ ГОРАЗДО НИЖЕ, ЧЕМ ПО ГОРОДУ. БУКВАЛЬНО 200 МЕТРОВ В ЦЕНТР И ЦЕННИК ВЗЛЕТАЕТ. ПОЭТОМУ РЕКОМЕНДУЮ ПОКУПАТЬ ИМЕННО ЗДЕСЬ. Мы купили магниты, вазочки, колокольчики, изразцы, чай, деревянную ложку, даже брошь Ростовская Финифть я купила здесь. Хоть утром были в музее Ростовская Финифть, там цены в магазине выше!!! ИТОГ- К ПОСЕЩЕНИЮ, ОБЯЗАТЕЛЬНО!!! ЗДЕСЬ ЖДУТ И ЦЕНЯТ ГОСТЕЙ!!! ОТНОШЕНИЕ ПРЕКРАСНОЕ!!! ЦЕНЫ НИЗКИЕ!!!

(Translated by Google) A good idea for organizing local craftsmen and needlewomen. It was very nice to see souvenirs that were actually made by hand, and not stamped from China. We bought some things as souvenirs) but it’s difficult to pay, they only accept cash. Master classes for children and adults are held on the lower floor; the staff are friendly and will tell you and show you everything. The prices are more than affordable. (Original) Хорошая идея для организации местных мастеров и рукодельниц. Очень приятно было видеть сувениры действительно сделанные руками, а не штамповку из Китая. Кое что приобрели на память ) но есть сложность с оплатой, принимают только наличные. На нижнем этаже проходят мастер-классы для детей и взрослых, сотрудники приветливые, все расскажут и покажут. Цены более чем демократичные.

(Translated by Google) Definitely worth a visit when visiting Rostov Veliky. First of all, for purchasing souvenirs - there are a great variety of them here, ranging from trivial refrigerator magnets to traditional Russian clothing. Particularly valuable are the almost forgotten Russian crafts, which are supported and revived here, for example, black-polished ceramics. The owners are engaged in production themselves, and conduct excursions for visitors themselves. When visiting as part of an excursion, you will also be fed cakes and given tea. (Original) Однозначно стоит посетить при визите в Ростов Великий. В первую очередь для приобретения сувениров - здесь их великое множество, начиная от тривиальных магнитов на холодильник до традиционной русской одежды. Особенно ценны практически забытые русские ремесла, которые здесь поддерживают и возрождают, например чернолощеная керамика. Хозяева сами занимаются производством, сами и проводят экскурсии для посетителей. При посещении в составе экскурсии еще и накормят пирогами и напоят чаем.

Thanks to the staff for their attitude to their work. I would like to visit it again.

(Translated by Google) A wonderful monastery where true believers serve God and simply work. An architectural pearl of the Yaroslavl region and the whole country. I stayed in a hotel at the monastery with my daughter. Father Sergius came into our situation (a large pilgrimage journey with corresponding expenses) and ordered not to charge us a fee, for which I bow to him. I was also allowed to use free Wi-Fi for Internet classes in the hotel tea room. God willing, we will visit this blessed place again. (Original) Замечательный монастырь, в котором служат Богу и просто работают истинно верующие люди. Архитектурная жемчужина Ярославской области и всей страны. Останавливался в гостинице при монастыре вместе с дочкой. Отец Сергий вошел в нашу ситуацию (большое паломническое путешествие с соответствующими затратами) и распорядился не брать с нас плату, за что низкий ему поклон. Мне также разрешили пользоваться бесплатным вайфаем для проведения занятий по интернету в чайной комнате гостиницы. Даст Бог еще раз побываем в этом благодатном месте.
IstorikGlobusPilit — Google review
(Translated by Google) The most important aftertaste that I had after visiting was that it is incredibly calm, quiet and cozy here. A kind of leisurely pace and solidity of the Russian province described in Russian literature. There are no crowds of pilgrims, heaps of traders, bustling noise of tour guides and other attributes of "pretentious" monasteries, in which it is very difficult to find anything other than architecture in this bustle. But here it is just the opposite - everything is clear with the architecture: the current buildings are new buildings. The monastery itself was destroyed in the thirties of the twentieth century and recreated at the turn of the millennium based on surviving photographs and drawings, but, of course, without an ideal match with the original. And the main shrine of the monastery - the parents of St. Sergius - are not buried here. But paradoxically, the atmosphere of the place only benefits from this. It is amazingly beautiful here and it is easier to breathe. These feelings are difficult to convey in words, but it is worth coming here for the sake of this leisurely bright joy. Most of the religious events are held with the participation of the students of the Varnitskaya Gymnasium located here. There is a large car park. All the times I was here, there was more than enough space. I did not find a separate parking for bicycles, and in general, there may be problems with mooring a bike somewhere. On the territory of the monastery there is a bookstore with a fairly wide range of products, a small cafe with a veranda (they will not spoil you with the assortment, but the pies and pastries are quite tolerable). You cannot pay by card (you understand - legally - for quite obvious reasons - all this is formalized as donations), so prepare cash or transfers to the card. There is a free toilet. Quite clean and tidy. There are no problems with the accessible environment on the territory itself, but you will not be able to get into the temple or any building without outside help: no ramps or special paths are provided. Alas, as in the overwhelming majority of religious sites. (Original) Самое главное послевкусие, которое сформировалось у меня после посещения – здесь невероятно спокойно, тихо и уютно. Этакая описанная в русской литературе неторопливость и основательность русской провинции. Здесь нет толп паломников, кучи торговцев, суетливого шума экскурсоводов и прочих атрибутов «пафосных» обителей, в которых в этой суете очень сложно найти что-то, кроме архитектуры. А здесь как раз наоборот – с архитектурой все понятно: нынешние постройки – новоделы. Сам монастырь был разрушен еще в тридцатые годы XX века и воссоздан уже на рубеже тысячелетий по сохранившимся фотографиям и чертежам, но, разумеется, без идеального совпадения с оригиналом. Да и главная святыня монастыря - родители Преподобного Сергия - похоронены не здесь. Но парадоксальным образом атмосфера места от этого только выигрывает. Здесь удивительно красиво и дышится легче. Эти ощущения трудно передать словами, но сюда стоит приехать ради этой неспешной светлой радости. Большая часть всех богослужебных мероприятий проходит с участием воспитанников расположенной здесь же Варницкой гимназии. Есть большая автомобильная парковка. Все время, когда я здесь бывал, места на ней было более чем достаточно. Отдельной парковки для велосипедов я не нашел, и вообще с тем чтобы пришвартовать где-то байк могут быть проблемы. На территории монастыря есть книжный магазинчик с довольно широким ассортиментом, небольшое кафе с верандой (ассортиментом не побалуют, но пирожки выпечка вполне сносная). Платить картой нельзя (сами понимаете – юридически – по вполне очевидным причинам - все это оформлено как пожертвования), поэтому готовьте наличные или переводы на карту. Есть бесплатный туалет. Достаточно чистый и аккуратный. С доступной средой на самой территории проблем нет, но вот попасть в храм или любое здание без посторонней помощи не получится: никаких пандусов или специальных дорожек не предусмотрено. Увы, как и в подавляющем большинстве культовых объектов.

(Translated by Google) Wonderful place! We didn’t expect such cleanliness of the room and the hospitality of the people! We took a tour of the monastery, and it was already late in the evening, but they didn’t refuse us, which was very pleasant. An educational and interesting excursion that both we and the children enjoyed. The views around the monastery, especially before sunset, are mesmerizing; inside the monastery territory is landscaped, everything around is perfectly clean and well-groomed, there are benches where you can enjoy the silence of the area. I was glad that there was no TV in the room, we finally took a break from this “box”, the Internet is weak, but when you go to such places, you need to understand why and what you want, and it was useful for the children, more live communication. On the territory of the monastery there is a cafe and a shop where you can have a snack (pies, buns, coffee, tea, kvass and mead - they all make it themselves), and also buy souvenirs. We got to the Rostov Kremlin by private transport, about 5 minutes. In general, a wonderful holiday, we will definitely come back here again for the baptism of a child (Original) Замечательное место! Не ожидали такой чистоты номера и радушия людей! Брали экскурсию по монастырю, при этом был уже поздний вечер, но нам не отказали, что очень было приятно. Познавательная и интересная экскурсия, понравилась как нам, так и детям. Виды вокруг монастыря, особенно перед закатом завораживают, внутри территория монастыря благоустроенная, все вокруг идеально чисто и ухожено, есть лавочки, на которых можно насладиться тишиной округи. Порадовало, что не было ТВ в номере, наконец-то отдохнули от этого «ящика», интернет слабенький, но когда едешь в такие места, нужно понимать, зачем и что ты хочешь, да и для детей было полезно, больше живого общения. На территории монастыря есть кафе и лавка, где можно перекусить (пирожки, булочки, кофе, чай, квас и медовуха - все делают сами), а также купить сувениры. До Ростовского Кремля добирались на личном транспорте, около 5 минут. Вообщем замечательный отдых, обязательно сюда ещё раз вернёмся на крещение ребёнка

Lukova Sloboda

$$$$affordable
Cafe
Nestled within the Rostovsky Hotel complex, Lukova Sloboda is a charming café that doubles as a museum-like attic filled with intriguing artifacts and delightful knick-knacks. This unique spot offers an inviting atmosphere where you can sip on aromatic tea while enjoying delicious onion buns. The menu features an array of tasty dishes, including hearty onion soup and various fish specialties, making it perfect for breakfast or lunch.
(Translated by Google) The attic is a museum. Attic - cafe. A place where you can find many interesting and useful things, as well as all sorts of rubbish that is not needed and would be a pity to throw away. This is how the history of an entire generation is formed. Things are stored for a long time because the attic is dry and warm. Now imagine: you will be invited to drink aromatic tea with onion buns in the attic, and they will also tell you an interesting story. A bow tied in a bun is hung on a hook. How onions appeared in Rostov the Great will be interesting for both adults and children. For those who have never been, I recommend it. (Original) Чердак - музей. Чердак - кафе. Место, где можно найти много интересных и полезных вещей, а также разного рода хлам, который не нужен и выбросить жалко. Вот так и формируется история целого поколения. Вещи хранятся долго, потому что на чердаке сухо и тепло. А теперь представьте себе: Вас пригласят на чердаке попить ароматного чая с луковыми булочками, да ещё интересную историю расскажут. Лук-лучок, завязанный в пучок, повешен на крючок. Как в Ростове Великом появился лук, интересно будет и взрослым, и детям. Для тех, кто никогда не был, рекомендую.

(Translated by Google) I didn’t like it at all, the tour was boring, you just sat at the table for an hour and listened to facts about onions. The bun is delicious, yes, but not for 1100 per person. No soulfulness. The idea is interesting, it could have been implemented coolly, but alas. I don't want to go back at all. The red price for the excursion is 500 rubles, so don’t waste your time and money. (Original) Не понравилось абсолютно, экскурсия скучная, просто час сидишь за столом и слушаешь факты про лук. Булочка вкусная, да, но не за 1100 с человека. Нет душевности. Идея интересная, можно было реализовать классно, но увы. Вернуться не хочется вообще. Красная цена экскурсии 500 рублей, так что не тратьте свое время и деньги.

(Translated by Google) The location is great. The food is all very tasty. There is a children's playground with a slide, sandbox and swings. Lots of fish dishes. The food is really cool!!! We were left with a not-so-pleasant aftertaste. We were included in the bill for 1 dessert in the amount of 10 pcs. And the price increased by 3200 rubles. And this is definitely not a mistake. We sat alone in the entire restaurant. Then the card payment was not processed. Although at first they said that they accept cards. We paid in cash. It turned out that there was no change. As a result, I had to transfer part of the money using a card. Looks like we had a great time. And the food is all very tasty, but the feeling of some kind of deception remains. So, check your account! Otherwise everything is very cool 👍 (Original) Место отличное. Еда вся очень вкусная. Есть детская площадка с горкой, песочницей и качелями. Много рыбных блюд. Еда реально крутая !!! У нас осталось не очень приятное послевкусие конов нам включили в счёт 1 десерт в колличестве 10шт. И цена выросла на 3200р.И это точно не ошибка. Мы сидели одни на весь ресторан. Потом не провели платеж по карте. Хотя сначала сказали , что карты принимают. Мы заплатили наличными. Оказалось, что нет сдачи. В итоге пришлось часть денег переводить по карте. Вроде отлично посидели. И еда вся очень вкусная, но чувство какого-то обмана осталось. Так, что проверяйте счёт ! В остальном все очень круто 👍

Avraamiyev Bogoyavlenskiy Monastyr' is the oldest monastery in Rostov, known for its historical significance. It was visited by Ivan the Terrible before his campaign to Kazan, and he ordered the construction of the main cathedral. The monastery's ensemble dates back to the 16th-17th centuries with subsequent renovations. Situated on Lake Nero's shores, it offers a serene setting for visitors.

(Translated by Google) Past the ROLMA shopping mall along Zhelyabovskaya Street, without turning anywhere, you will get to this monastery. In the past, the monastery was also a fortress, but over the years the walls were lost. At various times, the Avraamiev Monastery was visited by many members of the royal family, and once Saint Righteous John of Kronstadt, the rector of St. Andrew's Cathedral in Kronstadt, visited here. Most of the monastery buildings were erected in the 16th century. All of them have survived to this day, almost unchanged in their appearance. During the Soviet era, one of the monastery buildings housed a sobering-up center. (Original) Мимо ТРК "РОЛЬМА" по Желябовской улице никуда не сворачивая вы попадете в этот монастырь. В прошлом монастырь был одновременно и крепостью, но за прошедшие годы стены были утрачены. В разное время Авраамиев монастырь посещали многие члены царской семьи, а однажды здесь побывал святой праведный Иоанн Кронштадтский, настоятель Андреевского собора в Кронштадте. Большинство сооружений монастыря было возведено в XVI веке. Все они дошли до нашего времени, почти не изменив своего внешнего облика. При советской власти в одном из зданий монастыря располагался вытрезвитель.

Approximately 2.5 km from the Rostov Kremlin. In good weather you can walk. (Original) Самый старый по основанию монастырь Ростова. Очень тихое и немноголюдное место. Славится своей историей.

Ты реально веришь, что приехал к ямщику. Булочка с чаем очень украшает вечер. Актеры играют на 5+! Никто не заставляет участвовать, но сам не можешь усидеть на месте. Хочется на все ответить и спеть песню с гармонистом во все горло.

(Translated by Google) We had a great time! We ordered with a large group. The hostess is beautiful, the accordion player is magnificent, the boy is also fire. Interesting presentation of information. It was fun, playful, and we learned a lot of new things. Thank you very much! :) (Original) Душевно посидели! Заказывали большой компанией. Хозяюшка - прекрасна, баянист - великолепен, отрок - тож огонь. Интересная подача информации. И весело, задорно, и узнали много нового. Большое спасибо! :)

Tserkov' Ioanna Predtechi

Mentioned on 
1 list 
Russian Orthodox church
Sights & Landmarks
The Tserkov' Ioanna Predtechi, a Russian Orthodox church in Yaroslavl, Russia, is renowned for its unique architecture and is prominently featured on the 1,000-ruble note. It is recommended to take public transportation or a shared taxi to visit this beautiful monument by the Volga River. However, paying to see the interior may not be necessary as there are other old churches in Russia worth exploring.
It is one of the most beautiful monuments in town, right by the river.

(Translated by Google) A temple of rare beauty, in the style of Yaroslavl architecture of the 17th century. Its image is located on the back of the 1000 ruble banknote. 15 domes - this is the only such temple in Russia. Molded figured bricks, tiles that do not repeat each other, frescoes. The height of the temple in the central part is 45 meters, as is the height of the bell tower. Silence, splendor and grace. I highly recommend seeing this masterpiece. (Original) Храм редкой красоты, в стиле Ярославского зодчества 17 века.Его изображение размещено на тыльной стороне купюры в 1000 рублей. 15 куполов - это единственный такой храм в России.Формованный фигурный кирпич,не повторяющие друг друга изразцы, фрески. Высота храма в центральной части 45 метров, как и высота колокольни. Тишина, благолепие и благодать. Очень советую увидеть этот шедевр.

(Translated by Google) One of the most famous monuments of Russian architecture of the 17th century, the Yaroslavl school of architecture during its peak period. The only fifteen-domed 😮 temple in Russia, located in the southern part of the city, in the village of Tolchkovo on the banks of the Kotorosl. The history of such a majestic structure is typical of the Middle Ages - a small wooden church on a place of worship burned down and a stone temple was erected in its place The new small stone church that was built did not satisfy the high demands of the Tolchkov artisans who had become very rich at that time, and they set out to create a temple that had never been seen before in Yaroslavl, both in size and in the beauty of the internal and external decoration (Original) Один из самых знаменитых памятников русской архитектуры XVII века Ярославской школы зодчества периода её наивысшего расцвета. Единственный пятнадцатиглавый 😮 храм в России, расположенный в южной части города, в посёлке Толчково на берегу Которосли. История возникновения такого величественного сооружения типична для средних веков — небольшая деревянная церквушка на намоленном месте сгорела и на её месте поставили каменный храм Новая выстроенная небольшая каменная церковь не удовлетворила высоких требований сильно разбогатевших в тому времени ремесленников Толчкова и они затеяли создать храм какого прежде никогда не было в Ярославле, и по размерам и по красоте внутреннего и внешнего убранства

(Translated by Google) Bad luck: we saved our visit to this church for last, the day we left Yaroslavl. And that's precisely when it started raining: sometimes lighter, sometimes heavier, but constantly... Naturally, in such weather, the temple was closed. The only thing left to do was stroll around, which is what we did. But you look at the photos of the temple: once again, people are waving their 1,000-ruble bills with a picture of this church... Unoriginal. Unwise. Unethical. "Pisa Syndrome" all over again... (Original) Не повезло: посещение этой церкви оставили напоследок, "на закуску", на день выезда из Ярославля. И именно в этот день зарядил дождь: то слабее, то сильнее, но непрерывно... Разумеется, в такую погоду Храм был закрыт. Оставалось только погулять вокруг, что мы и сделали. Но рассматриваешь фотографии Храма: и снова народ трясёт своими 1000-рублёвыми купюрами с изображением этой церкви... Неоригинально. Неумно. Неэтично. Снова "Синдром Пизы"...

(Translated by Google) An incredibly beautiful temple with a rich and sad history. At first, some people all over the world collected crumbs for the most beautiful and rich temple, then other people came and ruined it. And then they did everything so that the temple building began to die. Thank God the temple is alive. Restoration is underway inside. But the temple is truly unrealistically beautiful. Molded bricks, tiles. He's great! A must visit. For those interested, this particular temple is depicted on the 1000 ruble banknote. (Original) Нереально красивый храм с богатой и грустной историей. Сначала одни люди всем миром по крохе собирали на самый красивый и богатый храм, потом пришли другие люди и разорили его. А потом сделали все, чтобы здание храма начало умирать. Слава Богу храм жив. Внутри идёт реставрация. Но храм действительно нереально красивый. Формованные кирпичи, изразцы. Он великолепен! Обязательно нужно посетить. Кому интересно, именно этот храм изображён на 1000 рублёвой купюре.

Cultural and Educational Centre named after Valentina Tereshkova

Mentioned on

Planetarium
Museums
Observatories & Planetariums
The Cultural and Educational Centre named after Valentina Tereshkova is a fascinating destination for those interested in space exploration and education. Located near Yaroslavl, this center features a planetarium where visitors can enjoy immersive sessions under a stunning dome that showcases the wonders of the solar system. The experience is particularly engaging for both adults and children, with 5D videos capturing young imaginations.
It's not as big as I thought initially, but it's pretty interesting! There's a constant exhibition with some rocket replicas and stuff astronauts use in space, and also there's an art exhibition with some neat works. The place has a small theater for watching documentaries on space, and the dome of the ceiling is used as a screen - fascinating experience. Also there's a cafeteria and a fun attraction for kids. The planetarium sets up so-called "watching nights" when it offers visitors a chance to peek at the night sky through their telescope. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful!
Daniil T — Google review
(Translated by Google) Immediately the script. Come to the opening and there will be parking and tickets. It's better to make a reservation though. Then to the museum. And for one more session. When you go to the planetarium, you know exactly what to expect, a beautiful dome of the starry sky with a billion billion billion stars. The cafe is not very good. Shuttle 5D - DO NOT Suck! Better buy magnets. You're visiting a planetarium, so it's better to have a couple of sessions there. Luckily they are short. Sight! A must visit many times. And the museum is worthy of a separate text. Come and look, there’s a good collection there, but I didn’t see any stamps. (Original) Сразу сценарий. Приезжайте к открытию и парковка будет, и билеты. Хотя лучше бронировать. Потом в музей. И ещё на один сеанс. Когда идёшь в планетарий точно знаешь чего ожидать, красивый купол звёздного неба на котором миллиард миллиардов миллиардищ звёзд. Кафе не очень. Шаттл 5D - НЕ ПОСЕЩАТЬ отстой! Лучше купите магнитики. Вы же посещаете планетарий, так лучше там пару сеансов. Благо они короткие. Достопримечательность! Обязательно к посещению неоднократно. И музей достоин отдельного текста. Походите, посмотрите, там неплохая коллекция, только марок не увидел.

(Translated by Google) A very overrated place. The museum is boring and uninformative. To listen to a tour, you need a Q-code, but there's no internet connection in the building. The interactive exhibition is a disgrace to the city, the complex's director, and V. Tereshkova personally. The models are broken, outdated, and uninteresting. The staff is frankly indifferent, lazy, and lacking initiative. They even push tickets, not caring about the visitors' experience of the history and the exhibition. Perhaps when the Tereshkova Educational Center opened, it was something new, important, and motivating, but now it's a backward institution, with a children's level of education, cheap equipment, and negligent staff. Such a shame... At least fix the basic models and install an audio recording. St. Petersburg. September 21, 2025. (Original) Очень переоцененное место. Музей скучный и неинформативный, чтоб прослушать экскурсию- надо подключиться по Q- коду, но интернет в здании не ловит. Интерактивная выставка- позор городу, директору комплекса и лично В. Терешковой. Модели поломаны, устаревшие, не интересны. Сотрудники откровенно равнодушны, ленивы, безинициативны. Еще и навязывают билеты, не заботясь о впечатлении гостей города от истории и выставки. Возможно при открытии образовательного центра им. Терешковой, он и был чем- то новым, важным и мотивирующим, но сейчас это отсталое заведение детского уровня и дешевого оснащения, халатного отношения персонала. Очень жаль.... Хотя бы почините элементарные модели и поставьте аудиозапись. Санкт- Петербург. 21.09.2025.

(Translated by Google) The Valentina Tereshkova Planetarium, opened in Yaroslavl in April 2011, is the pride of the city and a favorite leisure spot for its guests and local residents. This scientific and entertainment establishment surprises with its scale and allows visitors to learn about the many secrets of our universe, touch the origins of the existence of the world and lift the veil of a number of mysteries on a planetary scale. The planetarium building stands out for its large-scale dome, with an area of ​​300 square meters. m, projecting images of more than 7.5 thousand stars. Externally, the structure somewhat resembles an alien object that landed on the territory of an ancient Russian city. The planetarium got its name in honor of Valentina Vladimirovna Tereshkova, who became the world's first female astronaut to conquer the vastness of space and the only woman to do it alone. Its main advantage is the ultra-modern Skymaster ZKP4 device, equipped in the Star Hall of the planetarium and representing the latest model equipped with the Spasegate full-dome projection system. Thanks to him, the most realistic illusion of real travel in outer space is created here. The Museum of the History of Cosmonautics, located in the planetarium building, displays exhibits dedicated to stellar and space themes. Special attention is paid to the first artificial satellites of the Earth, as well as modern spacecraft and stations. The main theme here is the exhibition dedicated to Valentina Vladimirovna Tereshkova and her first flight into space. In addition to visual acquaintance with space objects, planetarium guests have the opportunity to try out the role of an astronaut in the interactive Shuttle attraction, look at the sky using a telescope with 600x magnification and sit in a cafe. A special interactive planetarium classroom hosts exciting educational activities for schoolchildren. The Valentina Tereshkova Planetarium is very popular in Yaroslavl, and among visitors you can often see families with children, which indicates significant interest in the institution from different age categories. The planetarium is undoubtedly worth visiting and expanding your knowledge about the world around us, as well as getting a lot of pleasant impressions. (Original) Планетарий имени Валентины Терешковой, открытый в Ярославле в апреле 2011 года, является гордостью города и излюбленным местом проведения досуга для его гостей и местных жителей. Это научно-развлекательное заведение удивляет своими масштабами и позволяет посетителям узнать о многих секретах нашей вселенной, прикоснуться к истокам существования мира и приоткрыть для себя завесу целого ряда загадок планетарного масштаба. Здание планетария выделяется своим крупномасштабным куполом, обладающим площадью 300 кв. м, проецирующим изображение более 7,5 тысяч звёзд. Внешне сооружение чем-то напоминает инопланетный объект, приземлившийся на территории старинного русского города. Планетарий получил своё название в честь Валентины Владимировны Терешковой, ставшей первой в мире женщиной-космонавтом, покорившей просторы бескрайнего космоса и единственной женщиной, сделавшей это в одиночку. Его главным достоинством является суперсовременный аппарат Skymaster ZKP4, оборудованный в Звёздном зале планетария и представляющий собой последнюю модель, оснащённую полнокупольной проекционной системой Spasegate. Благодаря ему здесь создаётся максимально реалистичная иллюзия реального путешествия в космическом пространстве. В разместившемся в здании планетария – Музее истории космонавтики, выставлены экспонаты, посвящённые звёздной и космической тематике. Отдельное внимание уделено первым искусственным спутникам Земли, а также современным космическим кораблям и станциям. Главной же темой здесь являются экспозиции, посвящённые Валентине Владимировне Терешковой и её первому полёту в космос. Помимо визуального знакомства с космическими объектами, гости планетария имеют возможность опробовать роль космонавта в интерактивном аттракционе «Шаттл», посмотреть на небо при помощи телескопа с 600-кратным увеличением и посидеть в кафе. В специальном интерактивном классе планетария проводятся увлекательные образовательные занятия для школьников. Планетарий имени Валентины Терешковой пользуется большой популярностью в Ярославле, а среди посетителей часто можно увидеть семьи с детьми, что говорит о значительном интересе к учреждению со стороны разных возрастных категорий. Планетарий несомненно стоит того, чтобы побывать в нём и пополнить багаж знаний об окружающем нас мире, а также получить массу приятных впечатлений.

(Translated by Google) Parking nearby is free. The young lady at the ticket office was not very efficient, as a result of which we were late for the excursion. We took tickets to the museum (100 for one snout), it turned out to be not very big, and 20 minutes was enough for us to look at all the exhibits. The wardrobe is not controlled by anyone (from the staff). They sell souvenirs. The toilet is relatively clean, although there was no soap😬. Museum named after the astronaut who reset the current so-called. president. (Original) Парковка рядом бесплатная. В кассе барышня была не очень расторопно, в следствии чего опоздали на экскурсию.

В туалете относительно чисто , правда мыло отсутствовало😬 .Музей имени космонавтки обнулившей нынешнего т.н. президента.

(Translated by Google) I love our Yaroslavl Planetarium. First of all: you need to come early and go to the MUSEUM. Here you can see astronauts' spacesuits, liquid nutrition, and spacecraft models. Secondly: this is the hall for watching films. You can go repeatedly and learn something new about space, comets, stars. There is also a telescope in the planetarium, I haven’t gotten there yet. (Original) Я люблю наш Ярославский планетарий. Во-первых: нужно прийти пораньше и сходить в МУЗЕЙ. Здесь можно увидеть скафандры космонавтов, жидкое питание, макеты космических аппаратов. Во-вторых: это сам зал для просмотра фильмов. Можно ходить неоднократно и узнавать что-то новое о космосе, кометах, звёздах. А ещё имеется в планетарии телескоп, я туда ещё не добралась.

Suitable for adults and schoolchildren. Children are interested in 5D videos. 100 rub. The museum is small (compared to the Moscow Museum of Cosmonautics), I liked the paintings more than the exhibits, entrance is 100 rubles. There is a cafeteria where you can have lunch. Cards are accepted. (Original) Проводятся сеансы под куполом по расписанию на сайте. Билет 200р. Мы смотрели "Путешествие по Солнечной системе". Впечатляет. Подходит для взрослых и школьников. Детям интересны ролики в 5D. 100р. Музей маленький(по сравнению с московским музеем космонавтики), больше понравились картины, чем экспонаты, вход 100р. Есть кафетерий, где вполне можно пообедать. Карты принимают.

Great museum overall, of not for one detail. They have a live bear that they keep in a cage to "entertain" visitors. Quite barbaric. This bear apparently serves as a symbol of the city, so it should be to no surprise that the city isn't in a great condition either. If their symbol is treated in this way, not much good can come out of it.

Incredible pleasant visit. If you've only time for one thing in Yaroslavl, this is the place. Pleasant grounds, amazing exhibits, although almost no explanations are in English. However, with even rudimentary understanding of Cyrillic, the non-Russian speakers can get the gist by visuals and reading dates. We visited on a winter day with lovely snow. Exhibit rooms are very warm. We spent a perhaps three hours.

Constructed in 2010 as a replication of the previous church, this cathedral presents an extravagant artistry and features a bell tower. Although not personally visited, it was spotted while strolling along the Volga and Kotorosl River, offering a delightful elevated walkway. The Church is a recent construction, replacing an older one that was demolished by the Soviets in the 1930s. The view from below reveals an immensely stunning roof design, characterized by its impeccable symmetry and magnificence.
Didn’t actually go inside, just walked past as we strolled along the Volga and Kotorosl River, which is a lovely walk high above the rivers. The Church is actually new construction, replacing an earlier church (destroyed by Soviets in 1930s).
Guinness H — Google review
We took a bus to explore the city, and the first stop was the local Kremlin. From a distance, you can see the Cathedral of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary. This was once the oldest church in the city, founded in 1215 by Prince Konstantin Vsevolodovich of Rostov on the territory of the Yaroslavl Kremlin (the Rubleny Gorod) and consecrated in 1219 in honor of the Feast of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, becoming the main church of Yaroslavl. The first stone cathedral, built of brick with white stone carvings and majolica floors, was destroyed by fire in 1501. In 1516, a new cathedral was erected, resembling the Annunciation Cathedral in the Moscow Kremlin, but it became dilapidated by the 17th century, and in 1646, a five-domed cathedral with a 55-meter-high bell tower was built, which was repeatedly damaged by fires. It was restored again, retaining its Byzantine features. In 1612, it was here that Metropolitan Kirill blessed Minin and Pozharsky on their campaign to liberate Moscow. In 1613, the young Tsar Mikhail Romanov was welcomed here. Since 1788, the cathedral has been the seat of the bishop. It is adorned with a five-tiered iconostasis and frescoes, including the miraculous Yaroslavl Icon of the Mother of God. In 1918, the church was damaged by shelling, and in 1937, it was blown up and replaced by a park. The church was restored in 2004-2010 using funds from philanthropists, and it became an exceptionally large structure: 50 meters high, 2,000 square meters in size, and capable of accommodating 4,000 people. The interior of the cathedral is still being decorated. The uniqueness of the cathedral lies in its role as a spiritual center, its connection to key historical events (the Time of Troubles and the Romanov dynasty), and the ongoing debates (and controversies) surrounding its modern appearance, which has been criticized for deviating from its original architecture. Overall, the cathedral is very impressive, as is the surrounding area. It is beautifully, solemnly, and harmoniously designed. Afterward, we explored the sculptural composition "Three Angels," followed by a large stone that is said to be 2 million years old, where you can make wishes by touching it. Temple and stone

Incredible! A festival was happening during the Christmas holidays; live performances and happy people, enjoying a beautiful winter night in Sovetskaya Plosad, with the backdrop of the Khram Il’i Proroka (Church of Elijah the Prophet) built 1647-1650. Yaroslavl, in general, is so good for walking.
Guinness H — Google review
The Church of St. Elijah the Prophet in Yaroslavl is an outstanding monument of 17th-century Russian architecture and painting. It was built in 1647-1650 with the funds of the wealthy merchants, the brothers Vonifatiy and Ioannikiy Skripin, descendants of Novgorodian settlers who became rich through the trade of furs and precious stones. The church was erected on the site of two wooden churches, the cold Ilyinskaya Church and the warm Pokrovskaya Church, which were mentioned in 1612 in connection with the miracle of the healing of a blind man during the procession of the icon of the Savior. The name of the church is associated with the legend of Yaroslav the Wise, who defeated a bear, the symbol of the local pagan tribes, on Elijah's Day, and founded the first Christian church in the city on this site. The church's uniqueness lies in its almost unchanged appearance since the 17th century: a five-domed quadrangle with a tent-shaped side chapel and a bell tower, surrounded by asymmetrical galleries and porches with carved white stone inserts. In 1658, the church miraculously survived a terrible city fire thanks to the metal lining of the doors and windows, which prevented the flames from entering. The church's main treasure is its fully preserved frescoes from 1680, which were created in three months by a team of 15 artists led by the Kostroma painters Guriy Nikitin and Sila Savin. The murals include 970 subject labels, including the famous "Harvest" and the cycle of the deeds of the prophet Elijah, as well as rare images inspired by Dürer's engravings.

Yaroslavskiy Khudozhestvennyy Muzey

Mentioned on 
1 list 
Art museum
Museums
Specialty Museums
The Yaroslavskiy Khudozhestvennyy Muzey is a satisfactory museum with an average foreign art section but an impressive selection of Russian art spanning from the 18th century to the present day. Housed in a historic building, it boasts a substantial collection of contemporary art from the 20th and 21st centuries. Additionally, visitors can enjoy a pleasant sculpture garden. However, one downside is that the museum lacks accessibility for strollers and wheelchairs.
We chose a tour that includes a visit to the Art Museum. The guide, Ekaterina, is well-versed in the museum and shares interesting facts about the paintings and artists. She has the appearance of a renowned international actress and knows how to capture the attention of museum visitors. The Yaroslavl Art Museum was established in 1919 on the initiative of local artists and antique enthusiasts. Today, its collection includes over 80,000 works, including 13th-century icons, paintings, graphics, sculptures, and decorative arts. The museum is located in the UNESCO zone and includes several historical buildings, the main of which is the Governor's House, built in 1821-1823 as an imperial travel palace and the residence of the Yaroslavl governors. It features works by D. Levitsky, I. Repin, I. Aivazovsky, A. Savrasov, I. Levitan, K. Korovin, as well as works of Russian avant-garde and contemporary art. The Metropolitan Chambers, built in the 17th century, houses a collection of ancient Russian art, including unique icons from the Yaroslavl school. Every year, the museum hosts more than 20 exhibitions, classical music concerts, festivals in the Governor's Garden, and scientific conferences. In 2016, it was nominated for the European Museum of the Year Award, and in 2021, it was included in the top 50 museums worldwide.

The Museum "Music and Time" in Yaroslavl is a unique attraction featuring a diverse collection of antique musical instruments, clocks, gramophones, and more. Visitors can enjoy hands-on exhibits showcasing the impressive assortment of items curated by the late magician John Mostoslavsky. Knowledgeable guides, some fluent in English, bring the museum to life by playing many of these preserved items during tours, creating an immersive concert experience for visitors.
We've walked there by chance and never regret it! Very nice, although small, museum with a lot of bells and antique mechanical musical instruments. Excursion is a must and included into the ticket price
Vladimir B — Google review
The Music and Time Museum in Yaroslavl is a unique cultural site that combines a private collection of antiques, musical instruments, and household items. The museum was opened on November 27, 1993, and it was probably one of the first private museums in post-Soviet Russia. Its founder, John Mostoslavsky, was a renowned illusionist and collector who had been collecting exhibits for over 50 years.... Now, his family is carrying on his legacy. And this is remarkable. The exhibition includes musical instruments: gramophones, gramophones, organ grinders, harmonies, records and clocks. There is also a collection of bells - from bells to church, arranged in a chromatic scale to create melodies. Among the exhibits are antique clocks by European masters and many other interesting items. The museum is interactive: visitors can listen to the old instruments during the tour. True, the pleasure is short-lived, somewhere up to a minute on the instrument. But it gives an idea of the instrument. The girl conducts tours with knowledge, energy, interestingly, and informatively. The museum is located in the former estate of the merchant Vakhromeev on the Volga embankment, which adds to its historical flavor.

This place will impress a person of any age. You'll get to listen to music played by various ancestors of speakers, learn about different types of watch, see many bells and hear some facts about irons. The location is easy to find, the excursion lasts for about 40 minutes.

(Translated by Google) Cool interactive museum! A museum where you not only CAN touch the exhibits with your hands, but you absolutely NEED to do it! Interesting for both adults and children! We came across a wonderful, charming guide, Gleb. He explained everything in detail and in a fascinating way, involving us in the process and giving our gray matter something to think about. Attention, payment is only in cash! Maybe after the museum moved they began to accept non-cash payments, but it’s better to have cash with you. After the end of the tour, you can wander around the museum rooms as much as you like (within reason) and try to solve the puzzles. There are various science shows for children, such as the Tesla show. (Original) Крутой интерактивный музей! Музей где не просто МОЖНО трогать экспонаты руками, а обязательно НУЖНО это делать! Интересно и взрослым и детям! Нам попался замечательный, обаятельный экскурсовод Глеб. Он обо всем подробно и увлекательно рассказал, вовлекая нас в процесс и давая нашему серому веществу подумать. Внимание, оплата только наличными! Может после переезда музея они стали брать и безнал, но лучше иметь при себе наличку. После окончания экскурсии можете сколько угодно (в пределах разумного) бродить по комнатам музея, пытаться разрешить головоломки. Для детей проводятся различные научные шоу, например шоу Тесла.

(Translated by Google) We stopped by to see what kind of unusual place this was and we were not disappointed! My daughter is 6 years old and my son is 3 years old, both were so involved in the process of "playing" and studying the exhibits and experiments, we barely left))) There are a lot of different locations with unusual physical experiments, at first the guide tells and shows everything quite interestingly and in detail, and then comes "free" and most importantly unlimited time to touch, press, twist and do everything)) The place is very interactive, cool and fun, I definitely recommend visiting with children! Adults will be no less interested) (Original) Заехали посмотреть, что за необычное место такое и не прогадали! Дочке 6 лет сыну 3 года, оба были настолько вовлечены в процесс "игры" и изучения экспонатов и экспериментов, ели ушли))) Очень много разнообразных локаций с необычными физическими опытами, сначало все довольно интересно и подробно рассказывает и показывает экскурсовод, а потом наступает "свободное" и главное безграничное время на все потрогать, понажимать, покрутить и поделать)) Место очень интерактивное, классное и весёлое, однозначно рекомендую к посещению с детьми! Взрослым будет не менее интересно)

(Translated by Google) Overall, the museum is interesting, but the tour guide... Firstly, personally, it is unpleasant for me to look at a girl with pumped-up lips, secondly, she talks very quickly and "jumps" from exhibit to exhibit, the children do not have time to listen and look. Of course, after the tour you can look at everything again yourself, but you can somehow involve the children in the process of the guide's story and interest them. We were with two children aged 6, one liked everything, the other just wandered around the hall, since the level of explanation was not at a child's level. And, it seemed to me that the children irritated the guide, like rattling off a memorized text and that's it. Personally, I would come again, look and listen more, but if the guide was different, trying to interest visitors with a story and captivate the children with physics. (Original) В целом музей интересный,но экскурсовод.......во-первых, лично мне ,неприятно смотреть на девушку с накаченным губами,во- вторых она очень быстро рассказывает и" перескакивает" с экспоната на экспонат,дети не успевают послушать и посмотреть. Конечно после экскурсии можно всё ещё раз самим посмотреть,но можно как -то в процессе рассказа экскурсовода вовлечь детей и заинтересовать их. Были с двумя детьми 6летнего возраста,одному все понравилось,другой просто слонялся по залу,так как уровень объяснения был не на детском уровне . И, мне показалось,что экскурсовода дети раздражают,типо оттарабанить заученный текст и всё. Повторно бы лично я пришла,ещё посмотреть и послушать,но если бы экскурсовод был другой,пытающейся заинтересовать посетителей рассказом и увлечь детей физикой.

First, an employee gives you a tour, explains and shows everything. Then you and your child can practice and experiment. Entertaining and educational. Both the child and the parents liked it.

Tolga Monastery

Sights & Landmarks
Points of Interest & Landmarks
Today, on January 7th, I visited the Tolga Monastery to celebrate the Nativity of Christ. This remarkable place is adorned with stunning architecture and is surrounded by a well-maintained and spacious compound filled with beautiful flora. The weather was delightful - sunny with a hint of frost in the air. One notable feature was the Cedar Grove, which was accessible for visitors to explore. The monastery holds great historical significance and houses precious icons that reflect its rich heritage.
(Translated by Google) A divine place where you relax body and soul. Quiet, calm, peaceful. A very beautiful, large, well-groomed area, surrounded by numerous flowers and varied greenery. White swans 🦢 and peacocks 🦚 live on the territory of the monastery. There is a gorgeous cedar grove where the ancient icon of the Tolga Mother of God is located. Delicious local cuisine. You can have a hearty and inexpensive lunch at the local refectory, and also buy various pastries, jam, and dairy products with you. I really liked the drink made from birch sap with orange and lemon. It refreshes and tones well, especially in the summer heat. Tolgsky Monastery is the place where you want to come again and again! (Original) Божественное место, где отдыхаешь телом и душой. Тихо, спокойно, умиротворенно. Очень красивая, большая, ухоженная территория, утопающая в многочисленных цветах и разнообразной зелени. На территории монастыря живут белые лебеди 🦢 и павлины 🦚. Есть шикарная кедровая роща, где находится старинная икона Толгской Богоматери. Вкусная местная кухня. Можно сытно и недорого отобедать в местной трапезной, а так же прикупить с собой различную выпечку, варенье, молочную продукцию. Очень понравился напиток из березового сока с апельсином и лимоном. Хорошо освежает и тонизирует, особенно в летнюю жару. Толгский монастырь - это то место, куда хочется приезжать снова и снова!

(Translated by Google) The first wall, the outer one. It turns out that this is not quite a Monastery yet... A small, cramped, but free parking lot. We parked about 200 meters from the checkpoint gates. I paid the nun sitting there, according to the posted tariff, 200 rubles for the right to take pictures on the territory, although, as it turned out, it was not necessary to do this. Immediately behind the checkpoint is the first trading area, including gardening and vegetable planting material. And a long path, about a kilometer slightly downhill through the monastery fields to the Monastery itself, which opens up very beautifully from this road. At the end of this path, a small climb to the complex of pilgrimage buildings, a passage through it; again a small trading area and... ...the second wall, the main one and the Spassky Gates, through which the bulk of pilgrims and visitors enter the Monastery (today is Sunday, there are many of both). Another one - the Holy Gates - opens to the Volga and works for tourists arriving by water. The territory is small, but very well-kept. Work on its arrangement and the temples continues. There are many people both in the temples and on the territory, but the nuns have not caught my eye the whole time. Taking photos in the temples is strictly prohibited, on the territory - as much as you like. Calls for visitors to dress appropriately for the place do not work on everyone, but no one is driven out. The third wall, the inner one, opposite the Spassky Gate. It has a gate leading to a cedar grove. The territory of the Monastery, adjacent to the Volga, is also very beautifully landscaped, however, especially the passage from the pier to the Holy Gates is squeezed on the left by the existing estate development with a blank fence along the entire path. A beautiful place. A beautiful Monastery. Must sees. (Original) Стена первая, наружная. Оказывается - это ещё не совсем Монастырь... Небольшая, тесная, зато бесплатная парковка. Запарковались метрах в 200 от ворот КПП. Монашке, сидящей там, заплатил, согласно вывешенному тарифу, 200 руб. за право фотографирования на территории, хотя, как оказалось, можно было этого не делать. Сразу за КПП первая торговая зона, в том числе и садово-огородным посадочным материалом. И длинный путь, около километра слегка под горку через монастырские поля к собственно Монастырю, который очень красиво открывается с этой дороги. В конце этого пути небольшой подъём к комплексу паломнических зданий, проход через него; снова небольшая торговая зона и... ...стена вторая, главная и Спасские врата, через которые в Монастырь и попадает основная масса паломников и посетителей (сегодня воскресенье, много и тех и других). Ещё одни - Святые врата выходят к Волге и работают на туристов, прибывающих по воде. Территория небольшая, но очень ухоженная. Работы по обустройству её и храмов продолжаются. Множество народу и в храмах и на территории, но вот сёстры-монашки за всё время на глаза так и не попались. Фотографировать в храмах категорически запрещено, на территории - сколько угодно. Призывы к тому, чтобы посетители одевались сообразно месту действуют далеко не на всех, но никого не выгоняют. Стена третья, внутренняя, противоположная Спасским вратам. В ней устроены ворота, ведущие в кедровую рощу. Территория Монастыря, прилегающая к Волге, также очень красиво благоустроена, однако, особенно проход от пристани к Святым вратам зажат слева существующей усадебной застройкой с глухим забором вдоль всей дорожки. Красивое место. Прекрасный Монастырь. Must sees.

We got there in the morning by taxi from Yaroslavl. We were at the monastery at 9.30 in the morning, there were no tourists yet. We were able to kiss the miraculous icon, walk through the cedar grove, enjoy the beauty to the fullest. We went back to Yaroslavl by river tram (110 rubles). We left the monastery with a pure heart and a light soul. I recommend visiting. (Original) Кто-то уже писал,хотите увидеть рай ,поезжайте в Толгу в июле. Мне посчастливилось там побывать именно в это время. Действительно,райское место. Отдых для души,сердца и глаз. Добирались утром на такси из Ярославля. Были в монастыре в 9.30 утра,туристов еще не было. Смогли приложится к чудотворной иконе,пройтись по кедровый роще,насладится красотой в полной мере.

After the visit, we bought cheeses, cabbage, and cedar milk from a local store. Free admission. We got there by taxi, it was easier than looking for a bus on Red Square. And we went back by bus, it runs on schedule. The schedule is posted at the entrance and at the bus stop. (Original) Мы были рады посетить это намоленное место.

(Translated by Google) Nice little museum with various images of angels. The most famous native of Vyatka is Pyotr Telushkin, who, without scaffolding, repaired damage to the spire and angel of the Peter and Paul Cathedral in St. Petersburg in the fall of 1830. Therefore, the theme of angels is present in Vyatsky. In terms of the interestingness of the collection, this museum is inferior to other museums in the village, but it is worth a look. (Original) Милый маленький музей с различными изображениями ангелов. Самый известный уроженец Вятского - Петр Телушкин, без лесов отремонтировавший повреждения на шпиле и ангеле Петропавловского собора в Санкт-Петербурге осенью 1830 года. Поэтому тема ангелов присутствует в Вятском. По интересности коллекции этот музей уступает другим музеям села, но заглянуть в него стоит.

Nestled in the picturesque Yaroslavl Oblast of Russia, Vyatskoe is a charming village steeped in history, first documented back in 1502. This quaint locale underwent a remarkable transformation in the early 2000s thanks to businessman Oleg Zharov, who revitalized it into a vibrant destination boasting ten fascinating museums. In 2014 alone, Vyatskoe attracted over 80,000 visitors eager to explore its rich cultural heritage.

(Translated by Google) A very interesting museum, like the rest of the museums in the village, but this is the main one, here are historical events and facts about this place. If you travel around the Yaroslavl region, be sure to visit Vyatskoye! (Original) Очень интересный музей, как и остальные музеи посёлка, но этот главный, здесь исторические события и факты об этом месте. Если будете путешествовать по Ярославской области, обязательно посетите Вятское!

To be able to understand enything here you need a guide. There is no single translation in the meseum. It's basically cabinet of curiosities as my friend defined it. But it's nice initiative!

(Translated by Google) An interesting museum, as well as the “Music of Time” museum located on the ground floor of the same building. The exhibits in the collection provide an opportunity to admire the original thinking and enterprise of the local residents, thanks to whom the village grew and became richer. This museum is worth a visit, like all Vyatsky museums. (Original) Интересный музей, как и расположенный на первом этаже того же здания музей "Музыка времени". Экспонаты коллекции дают возможность восхититься оригинальным мышлением и предприимчивостью местных жителей, благодаря которым село разрасталось и богатело. Этот музей стоит посетить, как и все музеи Вятского.

(Translated by Google) An interesting place, on the ground floor is the Museum of Music of Time. Very interesting, be sure to take a tour - most of the musical instruments are working. On the second floor is a museum of household items. (Original) Интересное место, на первом этаже музей Музыка времени. Очень интересно, обязательно берите экскурсию - большинство музыкальных инструментов рабочие. На втором этаже музей бытовых приблуд.

(Translated by Google) A very unusual museum. And probably the only one of its kind. Here, most of the exhibits work; there is a huge collection for Edison’s phonograph, as well as for the organola and many music boxes. Many thanks to Oleg Alekseevich Zharov for these museums. (Original) Очень необычный музей. И наверное единственный в своем роде. Здесь большинство экспонатов работают, собрана огромная коллекция для фонографа Эдисона, а так же для органолы и множества музыкальных шкатулок. Огромное спасибо Жарову Олегу Алексеевичу за эти музеи.

(Translated by Google) This is much steeper than one would expect from a small regional center in the Yaroslavl region. It’s just a pity that my great-grandmother’s homeland, neighboring Lyubim, is in a much more deplorable state. And here is a real art gallery, great!!! (Original) Это значительно круче, чем можно ожидать от небольшого районного центра в Ярославской области. Жаль только, что родина моей прабабки - соседний Любим находится в куда более плачевном состоянии. А здесь настоящая картинная галерея, здорово!!!
