And at every step, guests are waiting for pleasant surprises in the form of old churches, luxurious parks, fascinating museums.

The center of attraction for guests and residents of Yaroslavl, whose webcams are available on this site in real time, is the Volzhskaya embankment.

It was founded in the first half of the 19th century and a huge amount was allocated from the state treasury for the construction. The embankment of Yaroslavl is still considered the most beautiful promenade among all that run along the Volga. The coast is reinforced with masonry. A variety of trees and flowers grow along the pedestrian zone. Bridges are thrown across the river, and paths for cycling are equipped along the promenade.
The embankment runs in three tiers. Each of them has its own characteristics. Arbors and terraces nestled comfortably somewhere. Somewhere old merchant houses rise. Others have cafes, museums, attractions. A walk along the Volga in Yaroslavl will bring a lot of positive emotions and unique photographs.
There are also stunning places of worship in Yaroslavl. The main and oldest of them is the Holy Vvedenskaya Tolgskaya convent. On the territory of the monastery is kept the Tolga icon of the Mother of God, which is considered miraculous. Pilgrims from all parts of Russia come to bow to her. The monastery itself was founded in the XIV century. The first church was built at the same time. Gradually, the territory of the monastery increased. New shrines and outbuildings were erected. The Soviet period, of course, did not affect the monastery in the best way. For a long time it was in disrepair and considerably dilapidated. The monastery was returned to believers only 60 years after the October Revolution. Today, not only pilgrims come here, but also those who want to walk around the cozy landscaped area, feel the peace, tranquility and silence of this place.
The most famous and beautiful Orthodox church in Yaroslavl is the Church of John the Baptist. It has a truly fabulous appearance and was built in the 17th century.

For tourists, only external decoration is available, which will give real aesthetic pleasure. The facades, generously decorated with carved patterns, resemble a Persian carpet.
