Itinerary

Day 1 - Nizhniy Novgorod
Nizhny Novgorod, Rechnoy vokzal, Markin Square, 15a
Day 2 - Yaroslavl
List of excursions:
"City bus tour with a visit to the Church of John the Baptist and the Transfiguration Monastery"
Yaroslavl has been standing for more than a thousand years. According to legend, it was founded by Yaroslav the Wise at the place where he defeated the bear. Experts say that this is just a beautiful legend. And the residents of the city point to the city coat of arms, on which this wild beast flaunts.

Nowadays Yaroslavl is a museum city that has preserved a huge number of architectural monuments. Travelers will visit the ancient Bogoyavlenskaya Square and learn the history of the oldest theater in Russia. They will admire the Assumption Cathedral, built near the arrow of the Volga and Kotorosli rivers, and visit the Transfiguration Monastery, whose walls have repeatedly protected the city since the 12th century. Every tourist has heard about this monastery in the lessons of not only history, but also literature: here in the XVIII century they found the "Word about Igor's regiment".

Travelers will surely be impressed by the Church of St. John the Baptist, which is considered the most artistic Yaroslavl temple. By the way, its outlines will seem familiar even to those who have not been to Yaroslavl before: it is she who decorates the 1,000-ruble bill.
