Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Religious building
Church of the Prophet Elijah
The Church of Elijah the Prophet combines several roofs, domes and facade decoration. Square views reveal its components and proportions beyond the group of domes alone.
Religious building
Saint John Baptist Church of Tolchkovo
St John the Baptist’s numerous volumes and brick decoration create a layered silhouette. Facade details and different roof levels reward closer observation beyond the overall views.
Religious building
Cathedral of the Dormition
The cathedral’s pale walls and golden domes mark Yaroslavl’s landscape. The building is seen alongside surrounding spaces and river horizons, complementing the brick-decorated churches.
Walk and landscape
Promontory of Volga and Kotorosl
The point where the two rivers meet opens views of waterways and banks. Landscaped spaces give the confluence an urban reading distinct from church and museum visits.
