Yaroslavl, Russia. Best Russian historical city to visit
Situated at the confluence of the Volga and Kotorosl Rivers around 300 km north-east of Moscow, the historic city of Yaroslavl developed into a major commercial centre from the 11th century.
There are two major passenger railway stations in Yaroslavl. They can be easily mixed up. The one you are probably looking for is called ‘Yaroslavl-Glavny’. The city is connected to Moscow by a fast electric train service with comfortable seats. Just 3 hours from the capital of Russia and you are in the very centre of Yaroslavl.
Yaroslavl is one of the Golden Ring cities, a group of historic cities northeast of Moscow that have played an important role in Russian history. The historic part of the city is a World Heritage Site.
One of the central squares of Yaroslavl is called Sovetskaya. Ironically, the most beautiful and notable orthodox church in the town is located just here. This is the Church of Elijah the Prophet, which is a very prominent example of the way in which the city developed in the 17th century.
The church of the Epiphany is an Orthodox church in Yaroslavl. Built in 17th century as well, it is known for beautiful fresco paintings and tiled decoration of facades.
Another famous cathedral in Yaroslavl, Uspensky, was built in the 13th century and destroyed in the Soviet era, the city park was created on its place. The cathedral was rebuilt in 2010, its construction was completed to the 1000th anniversary of Yaroslavl.
While walking around the city centre you will definitely find this Kremlin-alike construction. The truth is it is not the Yaroslavl Kremlin, it is the Cathedral of the Spassky (St Savior) Monastery. The Cathedral is the oldest buildings in the city. Typical for a Russian monastery of the Middle Ages, the Spaso-Preobrazhensky Monastery in Yaroslavl was not built to be no more than a place of worship, but also to be a citadel and kremlin in case, in times of war.
Just near this monastery you can find a little structure, the Lady of Kazan Chapel. If you have a one thousand rubles banknote, you can find it there as well along with the monument to Yaroslav the Wise, the founder of the city.
1000 Anniversary of Yaroslavl was celebrated in Russia in 2003. Huge part of the historic centre was renovated with some new sightseeings constructed. Strelka park is one of them, it’s a huge promenade area at the bank of the Volga river with beautiful views. The Volga embankment is a good example of urban planning in the classicist style; built in the 1840s, this promenade walk has remained a favourite place for residents to take a stroll and relax ever since.

Russia is much more than Moscow and St. Petersburg - Tver is a place to see
Russian cities series - Tver is located halfway between Moscow and St. Petersburg, which makes this cozy provincial town a popular destination for weekend trips.
This small town, which traces its history back to 1135, offers a rich sightseeing program that includes medieval churches and late 18th-century palaces, as well as wooden houses with unique carved exteriors.
Central Tver resembles St. Petersburg, since the architectural ensembles were designed by famous Russian and Italian architects of the 18th century, who worked in Russia's northern capital at that time. The town's once splendid palaces and estates were designed by Carlo Rossi, Bartolomeo Rastrelli, Vasily Stasov and other leading figures.
Tver is situated on the banks of the Volga river − a strategic location that made it a major trade center in the Middle Ages. Nowadays, cruise boats take travelers from Tver to various destinations, including Uglich, Kostroma and Kazan, which lies over 600 miles away.

Russian River Cruise Travel Video - Volga River cRUISE
UPDATE 2015: Shot a few years ago, this video by Don Dulmadge is still a superb way to give you an upfront view of culture, georgeous scenery and excitement you can expect from our Russian Cruises! While we may change vessels - the sights and stunning beauty remain the same!
Check out all the details on our website:
Russia is the largest country in the world, home to 150 million people and spanning 11 time zones. Over a thousand years of culture, history, intrigue, and mystery. Ornate palaces, giant squares, magical fountains, the first man in space, world-renowned literature, art, and music. Since 1991, when Perestroika opened Russia to the world, millions of visitors have poured into Moscow to marvel at the Red Square, the unique onion domes of Saint Basil's Cathedral, and the vast Kremlin grounds adorned with giant bells and cannons. Millions have come to St. Petersburg to view the incomparable wealth of the Hermitage Museum, the grandeur of Pavlovsk and Catherine Palaces, and the magic of Peterhof Fountains, where water is propelled by ingenious design and gravity, not by modern pumps or technology. But Russia is not just Moscow and St. Petersburg, Russia is also Goritza, a typical riverside peasant village, where you can break bread with an authentic local family. Russia's Uglich, Yaroslavl, and Kizhi, but most all of all, Russia is its people, old and young alike, who will impress you with their hospitality, humor, and generous spirit, their curiosity, intelligence, and their Slavic duše, or soul.
The ship, refurbished in 2006, holds a maximum of 240 passengers, along with 100 crew members. Her cabins are clean and comfortable, featuring all lower berths, private bathrooms with showers, refrigerators, air conditioning and opening windows. Aboard all our ships, meals are served in our spacious panorama restaurants and night bars, and are complimented with a number of additional feasts and surprises. Blini and caviar tasting, tea parties, and vodka and champagne galore. After a full day of sightseeing, you can rest and relax in one of our elegant lounges, where a talented team of classical musicians, folklore dancers, and our live dance band will entertain you until the wee hours of the morning.
After another day of sightseeing, the time will come to bid St. Petersburg goodbye, as you set sail on your Volga adventure. Enjoy our welcome cocktails and dinner, and then party away as our on-board entertainers enthrall you with their playing, singing, and dancing. Your first stop downstream will be at the delightful green station of Mondraga, where a typical 19th-century Russian village has been recreated. Here, you will see artisans at work and be able to purchase their creations. You will also have a chance to see the unique Vodka Museum, featuring over 2,500 versions of Russia's national drink. Then it's time to enjoy an authentic riverside barbecue with shashlik, wine, and special entertainment.
Kizhi Island, one of the 1,650 island dotting the immense Lake Onega, is reminiscent of a fairy tale. The structures found on the island are authentic examples of traditional Russian wooden architecture from the turn of the century. The most spectacular is the Church of Transfiguration, whose 22 cupolas were constructed by Master Nestor without the use of a single nail. Back on board, it's time to take in one of our many cultural and entertainment activities. Enjoy a lecture on Russian history or Russian arts and souvenirs. Then, sit back and enjoy an on-board concert performed by our fabulous folklore ensemble.
In the typical riverside village of Goritza, you will visit an authentic peasant house, where you will be welcomed and served delicious homemade food. The day will end with another treat, our on-board caviar and champagne party. Founded in 1010 by Prince Yaroslavl the Wise, Yaroslavl is one of Russia's oldest cities. During the Middle Ages, it was a main training center and one of three Golden Ring Cities. Today, the Church of Elijah the Prophet boasts of some of the oldest original icons, dating back as far as the 13th century. It is also home to one of the most renowned a cappella choirs in all of Russia.
The town of Uglich is closely linked to the darker side of Russian history. It is here that the 10-year-old crown Prince Dmitri, the youngest son of Ivan the Terrible, was murdered, which brought Boris Godunov to the throne and turmoil to the country. The day will end with a classic concert, preformed by two of Russia's most renowned classical musicians, who will fill the evening with romance and raw emotion. As you continue sailing towards Moscow, the evening is reserved for our Captain's Gala Dinner, featuring vodka, champagne, and entertainment. Then it's time for some silly fun and laughter at our talent show, where both passengers and staff get to strut their stuff.

RUSSIA Nizhny Novgorod Ни́жний Но́вгород
Η πόλη Νίζνι Νόβγκοροντ, (Νέα Πόλη) σε απόσταση περίπου 400 χιλιόμετρα από τη Μόσχα, το όνομα της οποίας έχει συντομευθεί σε Νίζνι, είναι η πέμπτη μεγαλύτερη πόλη της Ρωσίας και μία από τις πιο δυναμικές επαρχιακές πρωτεύουσες της χώρας. Στα χρόνια του μεσαίωνα το Νόβγκοροντ ήταν μετά την Κωνσταντινούπολη η μόνη πόλη στην Ευρώπη που εκτός από τους κληρικούς και τους ηγεμόνες, ο απλός λαός ήξερε να γράφει και να διαβάζει, όπως δείχνουν πολυάριθμα έγγραφα που βρέθηκαν σε ανασκαφές. Ένα παλιό ρητό λέει: Η Μόσχα είναι η καρδιά της Ρωσίας, η Αγία Πετρούπολη το κεφάλι, και η Νίζνι Νόβγκοροντ η τσέπη. Σήμερα, η Νίζνι Νόβγκοροντ είναι μία από τις μεγαλύτερες βιομηχανικές πόλεις της Ρωσικής Ομοσπονδίας, αλλά και σημαντικό οικονομικό, μεταφορικό και πολιτιστικό κέντρο της Ρωσίας. Μεγάλο μέρος του κέντρου της πόλης είναι χτισμένο βάσει του ρωσικού αναγεννησιακού στιλ αλλά και του σταλινικού αυτοκρατορικού στιλ. Το κυρίαρχο χαρακτηριστικό της πόλης είναι το μεγάλο Κρεμλίνο (1500-1511), με τους πύργους από κόκκινα τούβλα.
The city of Nizhny Novgorod, about 400 kilometers from Moscow, whose name is shortened to Nizhniye, is the fifth largest city in Russia and one of the most dynamic provincial capitals in the country. In the Middle Ages, Novgorod was the only city in Europe after Constantinople that, apart from clergy and rulers, the simple people knew how to write and read, as many papers found in excavations show. An old saying goes: Moscow is the heart of Russia, St Petersburg's head, and Nizhny Novgorod the pocket. Nowadays, Nizhny Novgorod is one of the largest industrial cities in the Russian Federation, but also a major economic, transport and cultural center of Russia. A large part of the city center is built on the basis of the Russian Renaissance style and the Stalinist imperial style. The predominant feature of the city is the large Kremlin (1500-1511), with the red brick towers.
Город Нижнего Новгорода, около 400 км от Москвы, чье название было сокращено до Нижнего, является пятым по величине города в России и один из самых динамичных столиц провинций страны. Во время средневекового Новгорода был после Стамбула, единственный город в Европе, кроме духовенства и правителей, простые люди умели читать и писать, как показано в многочисленных документах, найденных при раскопках. Старая поговорка гласит: «Москва сердце России, в Санкт-Петербурге в голове, и карман» Нижний Новгород. Сегодня Нижний Новгород является одним из крупнейших промышленных городов Российской Федерации, но и важный экономический, транспортный и культурный центр России Большая часть центра города построена на основе русского стиля Возрождения и сталинского имперского стиля. Доминантой города является большой кремль (1500-1511), с башнями из красного кирпича.
