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.

YAROSLAVL - DAY TRIP FROM MOSCOW (Москва в Ярославль)
On our last day in the Golden Ring Russia, Katie and I explored Yaroslavl! This was likely our favourite Golden Ring city, as it has SO much to offer and see and do. Places like Suzdal or Plyos offered a quaint quiet city, but Yaroslavl is much more vibrant overall with a ton of deep history!
This is part of the Best of the Golden Ring as a Yaroslavl day trip from Moscow (Москва в Ярославль).
On a quick day trip, we started in the afternoon after arriving from Kostroma. This would be the same as if you did a day trip from Moscow, arriving by train that afternoon. Ideally, you'd spend the night to get some of the great nightlife ambiance with glowing city lights at night. However, it could even be done with a late train ride back home that evening. We would have liked two days in Yaroslavl to enjoy the sights a bit more, but we were on a schedule and not able to stay one more day, unfortunately.
Some sights we saw were: Cathedral of Assumption, Transfiguration Monastery, Church of Olya the Prophet, and many other areas of the UNESCO protected old town.
Stay tuned for when we head to Moscow to wrap our trip up, before heading to Italy!

Yaroslavl Russia
The city of Yaroslavl is situated on the Volga River at its confluence with the Kotorosl River, some 250 km northeast of Moscow. It was founded by the Prince of Kievan Russia Yaroslav-the-Wise (988-1010) and consisted of a small wooden fortress. Until the 13th century, it had belonged to the territory of Rostov Principality and in 1218 it became the capital of Yaroslavl Principality. The city of Yaroslavl started developing in 1463 when Yaroslavl Principality joined the powerful Moscow state. After several fires, and starting from the 16th century, the original wooden town was gradually rebuilt in stone.

Travel Russia - Exploring the Historic City of Yaroslavl
Take a tour of Historic Yaroslavl in Yaroslavl, Russia -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.
Follow the Volga and Kotorosl Rivers to where they meet, and you will find the historic city of Yaroslavl.
This Russian city has been an economic power since the 11th century, and served as the country's de facto capital in the 17th century.
The medieval churches of Yaroslavl are typically Russian Orthodox in style and persuasion.
In 1763, Catherine the Great ordered a radical makeover of the town that would serve as a model for urban planning across the country.
Yaroslavl today is the result of this urban program, and is thus a beautiful example of Western cultural exchange and influence.
The city's neoclassical style, impressive monuments and historical importance all contribute to its UNESCO World Heritage designation.

Yaroslavl, Golden Ring of Russia, 4K
The city of Yaroslavl is situated on the Volga River, about 250 km northeast of Moscow. It was founded by the Prince of Kievan Russia Yaroslav-the-Wise (988-1010) and consisted of a small wooden fortress. The Historical Centre of the City of Yaroslavl is the oldest part and the kernel of development of one of the most ancient, rich, and well preserved Russian cities. A specific and unique feature of Yaroslavl is the existence of numerous 16th- and 17th-century churches and monastic ensembles with valuable mural paintings and iconostases, which are outstanding in terms of their architecture, as dominant town-planning elements and composition centres.The main merits of the town-planning structure and architectural face of Yaroslavl city centre are the rational approach to activation of artistic values of the past within the city system, and the subordination of further architectural constructions to them, using the contrast between picturesque ancient churches and distinctly regular, symmetrical, composed classical buildings of the later periods. Another particularity is the organic use of the rich natural landscape at the junction of two rivers, with their picturesque banks and wide water expanses. In July 2005 Yaroslavl's historic city center was inscribed onto the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

RUSSIAN TRAIN TRAVEL REVIEW - Moscow to Yaroslavl Day Trip
Leaving from Yaroslavl, Katie and I are on our way to Moscow! We showed what the sleeper train looks like previously, so wanted to also show the regular 2nd class cabin seats for the short seated train rides.
Hopefully this helps people with how to travel by train in Russia and whether or not are Russian trains safe. Russian Train safety is important to consider, but it's actually one of the safest trains you can ride anywhere in the world!
We rode the train from Yaroslavl to Moscow, but the train would be the same for Moscow to Yaroslavl or Moscow to Golden Ring (anywhere in the Golden Ring area).
A quick vlog today, but check back in a couple days for our first day in Moscow when we do the BEST Food tour in the city!
Lots more great videos to come!!
