Transfer to Ples* (~ 1 hour).
Sightseeing tour of Ples.
Ples welcomes you with quiet streets, where every house, every carved architrave holds the secrets of centuries, and the Market Square and embankment seem to have descended from an ancient painting.
The outlines of a once-standing fortress can be discerned on Cathedral Hill, and the majestic Assumption Cathedral seems to hold the breath of the entire city.
Isaac Levitan drew his subjects here, Fyodor Chaliapin set foot here, and the Volga wind whispers the stories of merchants, artists and travelers — all this merges into a lively, fascinating atmosphere.
Boat trip along the Volga.
One of the most fascinating ways to see Ples and its surroundings is to take a boat trip along the Volga. From the water, the city opens up in a new light: steep hills, which are called mountains here, golden domes of churches, and, of course, the Volga itself, majestically flowing along its channel.
At such a moment, you understand why Ples has become a real source of inspiration for many generations of artists and poets. (In case of adverse weather conditions, the boat trip will be replaced by an excursion to the museum of Public places).
Free time.
* - The Ples tour is exclusively pedestrian in nature, passing through hilly terrain with ascents and descents. We recommend choosing comfortable clothes and shoes according to the weather.
If desired, for an additional fee, you can use the services of an electric car (pay yourself on the spot).
Departure to Kostroma (~ 80 km).
Transfer to the hotel, Free time.
