Гуляли вечером, красивая подсветка, очень чисто, тихо и спокойно. Выглядит величественно и в то же время чувствуешь старину...
собственно говоря, ряды, такие же как и во всех городах той эпохи, но интересны тем что они плотно используются и сейчас. ещё они не одни, как в других городах - их три комплекса. и по их размерам можно судить о сильной экономике города в имперские времена.
The trade rows are a good place to go for souvenirs, or for fresh fruits, vegetables, and snacks. A nice place to wander and learn about Kostroma's history.
The Trade Rows in Kostroma are the best preserved complex of Neoclassical trading arcades in Russia. These complexes were built in late 18th century and comprises about a dozen buildings. Unfortunately only a few of the "shop" are used currently and comprise a few souvenir shops and some arts and crafts shops. Like most of the provincial towns in Russia the local population is declining and the traders cannot sustain these places.
Wonderful architectural ensemble in the centre of Kostroma! First of all it's a market place, but one can also find lots of cafes and shops here. Kostroma is an old merchant and industrial centre, and the first thing that comes to mind is Kostroma textile, linen in particular. I found an excellent linen shop not far from a book store (Krasnye ryady 1 / Красные ряды,1): Textile-centre (Текстиль-Центр). There are tons of all sorts of linen dresses, sundresses, excellent table clothes, tea towels and bed linen... Very authentic and good quality products.Not far from the linen shop one can find a Gastro Cafe Kuhnya (i.e. Kitchen / Гастрономическое кафе Кухня). It is a very cosy place with mostly Russian cuisine, though they make pizzas and noodles there as well. But I can highly recommend their typical Russian dishes, e.g. beetroot salad, smoked mackerel, potatoes with forest mushrooms, etc. Here one can have breakfast or enjoy a pint, or have a proper evening meal. Prices are very affordable, and the staff is helpful. One thing was missing though - a menu in English.
Торговые ряды - это конечно... Я прочитала, что это самые длинные торговые ряды, но такой длины представить себе невозможно! Главное всё сохраняется, даже названия. "Костромская сырная биржа", где ещё такое встретишь! ''Табачная лавка", ''Мясной ряд" ... Торговые центры никак нельзя сравнить с этими рядами, никак.
Трудно оценивать того кого любишь. 5 часов от Москвы и вы в другом измерении времени. История бывает разной и радостно что здесь она живая. Я рада что Торговые ряды функционируют .Тот же товар что и в Москве да и везде тот да не тот. Русская торговля всегда славилась -может поэтому стало больше машин с московскими номерами. Приезжайте .Здесь Вы простите своим дамам непридвиденные расходы
В самом центре Костромы, рядом много музеев и достопримечательностей, кафе. Очень красивое, колоритное место, я бы там гуляла и гуляла. Сырная биржа- многообещающее название- на самом деле скромное помещение с несколькими прилавками.пробовать сыр нам не предлагали. Выбор сортов невелик( январь2015):Костромской , Российский, Сливочный,брынза, косички, моцарелла,сыр в лепешках и рулетах с разными начинками( зелень, курага, чернослив) и еще несколько сортов . Для заевшихся москвичей выбор небольшой, но все свежее и дешевле,чем в Москве.еще рекомендую сливочное масло, топленое масло, сметану и творог.
The heading of the review should not be misleading. There is no sarcasm whatsoever.It is nothing but the deepest regret.Regret that one of the most beautiful Russian cities will not survive another 20-30 years.Kostroma with its ancient Russian beauty is probably the last place in Russia where you can find old merchants’ houses, trading places, beautiful old churches and monasteries in great numbers, and all of them in the most terrible conditions.It is a shame that such elegant and rare buildings were so neglected and left without any care and basic maintenance. It is only a short time left till these examples of Russian native architecture fall into dust that fills the streets of this old town.The city seems to be never properly cleaned. Roads and pavements are covered with sandy dust that flies into air any time there is a wind blows of a vehicle passes by. It is definitely a nightmare for people suffering allergies.We visited Kostroma recently before (January 2013). It was all covered with snow. There was no such dirt around. Now in May the dirt is everywhere. You can feel it on your lips and tongue.I write so much about it because it is really an unpleasant to breathe dust when you want to walk around the city. City government seems to be totally useless when it comes to maintaining the city attractive to tourists. Especially for those traveling by car. I have never seen such awful roads. Imagine West German roads after allied bombings or the roads destroyed by earthquake and tsunami in Fukushima March 2011. Now you have the exact picture. No surprise the city is full of car repairing workshops.For those who want to catch a slipping away glimpse of true Russian beauty I recommend visiting Kostroma in winter. It really looks a lot more charming and mysterious.It is worth going there for its “natural” attractions: I would call that word old houses which are really a part of the nature these days, Volga river, forests around. Ipatievsky monastery is definitely worth visiting.I would doubt to recommend the local drama theater. It is a place where one should go only because there is nothing else to do.The city itself does not offer a great choice of entertainment. The museums offer very specific exhibitions that could be interested for those who are into the subject.The city is a museum itself.Some restaurants are definitely good and reasonably priced.My recommendation for duration of stay – 2 days max. If you are very energetic you can cover everything in one day – early morning in, next morning out.Here is an example of the actions to do:1. 30 mins boat trip (in summer of course)2. Ipatievsky monastery3. Walk the city center and trading places4. Walk along the Volga embankment5. Complete your day at Beloe Solntse (White Sun) restaurant with a view to VolgaChoose your time for a quick lunch at Sack Voyage bistro.You can reach Kostroma by train Moscow-Yaroslavl (USD 30 p/p, takes about 3 hrs and 15 mins), and then by taxi (USD 50 p/p, takes about 1 hr). Prices are for one-way trip.Driving a car from Moscow will take you longer and much more worrisome. The road is narrow half of the way and windy, could be very icy in winter.Taxi in Kostroma is very affordable: USD 4-5 from any place to any place.
Not so interesting architecture with small shop inside. It is difficult to understand where what trading row.
