    Guided walk along the Volga embankment.

    External inspection of the Church of Elijah the Prophet.

    Among other remarkable Yaroslavl temples of the XVIII century, this one has preserved its original architectural appearance and the richest interior decoration in the fullest possible way: murals, icons, wooden and stone carvings, bright "tiles" and much more.

    A guided tour of the Yaroslavl Museum Reserve.

    Acquaintance with the architectural ensemble of the past. The Spaso-Preobrazhensky Monastery, which has preserved the oldest monuments of the city, executed in stone.

    The Transfiguration Cathedral of the monastery is the oldest building in Yaroslavl.

    The most important events in the life of Yaroslavl were the stay of Minin and Pozharsky in the monastery of the People's Militia in 1612, the work of the Zemstvo government during the Troubles, and the minting of the Yaroslavl kopeck. In the Spassky Monastery, in the 18th century, the "Word of Igor's Regiment" was discovered — a monument of ancient Russian culture of the 12th century.

    During the tour, you will be able to see and study the complex process of creating a play, touch the mystery of creating costumes and decorations, go behind the scenes and visit places where the average viewer never goes: into the acting part of the theater and stage portals, from where the characters of theatrical performances enter the stage and take on the essence and flesh. Historians of the oldest theater will tell you about the myths that are invisibly present in the fate of the legendary theater. Such a "Theatrical walk" will immerse you in the wonderful world of art!

    *Possible replacement of the tour: "Theatrical walk at the Volkovsky Theater" (May-August). A theatrical audio walk "Wolves. The voice."

    Audio walk "by Wolves. The Voice" is a performance-a journey through the places of Fyodor Volkov's power in Yaroslavl in search of a solution to his secrets. You follow the voices of the actors of the first Russian theater through the city center.…
