Nice, all main sights along the way, interesting and picturesque. The best way to enjoy the feel of Yaroslavl.
This walk will impress at any weather. Dress appropriately warm. Take your camera. Vistas are divine.Stray off into streets and check details on older buildings.Breath-taking.
Great place to go for a walk, take some photos or even go for a run or rollerblade. There are various churches you can visit and it's just a really nice place to be in Yaroslavl.
The Yaroslavl Embankment is a very nice place to walk along the River Volga. Nothing very special, just nice.
Start be walking through the city park at Krasny Plochade to the banks of the Volga. Check ot the river cruises. You will pass at least three museums before you reach the point where a smaller river joins the Volga. Founding of Yaroslavl park reminded me of Pittsburgh. Cathedral, monastery and downtown all are close to the end of your walk
We visited Yaroslavl during a Volga River cruise. It's a fascinating, quite large, regional centre and made an interesting contrast to Moscow or Saint Petersburg. The well organised excursion included visit to the embankment, to churches and to a restored mansion where we were treated to a concert.
Breathtaking views over the mighty Volga, manifold cute onion domes peeking out here and there, local families strolling about, well-behaved cyclists, zero cars, it all feels very civilized, even on a Saturday night.
This place is as scenic as any other in the world. The confluence of two awesome rivers makes for a picture prefect setting. During sep-oct the winds start to get a bot chilly towards the evening so dress accordingly.
Volga embankment is a very popular promenade among locals. This is where people come out to see and be seen. It stretches from the port all the way around the Strelka to Spassky monastery. There are easy access points to all things downtown – Red Square, Church of Ilya the Prophet, the new Cathedral of Assumption and old parkland with exclusive tennis clubs. Considered a part of the “restricted area” during Soviet days it now boasts many boutique cafes and museums.
Visit certainly. Beautiful views of the Volga, pleasant atmosphere for walks. Nearby are historic landmarks.
