We arrived in Yaroslavl on schedule. We took a taxi from the station for 300 rubles. and went to check into the Ibis hotel, which we had pre-booked. A review of the Ibis hotel in Yaroslavl can be read here. You can book the Ibis here.
We were lucky with the hotel - it was very conveniently located, in the historical center, next to the Kazan Monastery. And the price-quality ratio was also pleasing. After taking a short rest in the room, we decided to meet our friends. By this time they had already walked around Yaroslavl and seen a lot.
The only thing is that by 17 o’clock the body urgently required food. To quickly get rid of the feeling of hunger, we decided to drop into the local Yaroslavl McDonald's on Volkov , with the original name McMaster . The food was very vaguely reminiscent of Makov’s, but from hunger it was a joy.
We decided to meet with friends near the Church of Elijah the Prophet - in the heart of Yaroslavl. From Volkov Square we slowly walked towards our intended goal, looking at the city along the way. In my hands was a detailed map of the center of Yaroslavl, which was very helpful in finding my way around the city (download in pdf Map of the Center of Yaroslavl).

The uniqueness of this zoo lies in the refusal to keep animals in cages. More than 1,600 animals of 250 different species live in these vast territories.

Yaroslavl is one of the oldest Russian cities, founded in the 11th century and reaching its peak in the 17th century. In this ancient Russian city of the Golden Ring of Russia, almost 800 architectural monuments are protected by the state. Even a simple listing of all the attractions of Yaroslavl would take more than one page. Therefore, we will limit ourselves to a detailed description of only some of them, and regarding the rest we will try to point you in the right direction.
The historical center of Yaroslavl between Sobinov and Republican streets was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2005. Historically, this place was called Zemlyanoy Gorod, a residential part of the fortress or Kremlin of Yaroslavl - Rubleny Gorod, which has practically not survived to this day. The peculiarity of the urban plan of Yaroslavl is that two- and three-story buildings form wide landscaped streets opening onto vast squares.
The historical center of Yaroslavl between Sobinov and Republican streets was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2005.
Churches and towers of pre-Petrine times are the visual and compositional dominants of later buildings. Ancient churches in the center at every step, one more beautiful than the other. It’s unrealistic to go around them all; all that’s left to do is gasp and look at least at the outer decorations and admire the colorful domes.
It is worth noting that after celebrating its millennium in 2010, the city became more dignified, prettier - and now welcomes guests with even greater cordiality. The charm of the sights of Yaroslavl will not pass you by: here you can stroll along the wide embankment without any purpose, look into every church, circling around the city center (by the way, this can be done even without being a religious person, many churches in Yaroslavl are in the status of museums) or greedily peer into museum exhibitions, gaining educational information. Come to Yaroslavl yourself and bring your foreign friends - the city has something to be proud of!

With one hand he rests on a naked sword, and in the palm of his other hand he holds a miniature model of the city.

Another recognizable landmark of Yaroslavl, depicted on the Russian banknote, appeared on the embankment in 1997.

Sculptures and monuments in Yaroslavl
Several interesting sculptures and monuments can be seen while walking through the center of Yaroslavl. We'll tell you about the most popular monuments of the city.
Demidov pillar
- Address: Mira Boulevard. Transport stop "Bogoyavlenskaya Square".
Famous naturalist, philanthropist and public figure P.G. Demidov did a lot for the development of education in the province. It is he who is considered the founder of the first university in Yaroslavl - the School of Higher Sciences. In 1829, it was decided to perpetuate the memory of Demidov. Then a monument appeared in the city in the form of a 12-meter column mounted on a granite pedestal. It was crowned with a celestial sphere, above which a gilded double-headed eagle stretched its wings. After the revolution, the monument was demolished, and it was restored in 2005.
Monument to the Bear
- Address: st. Pervomayskaya. Transport stop "Bogoyavlenskaya Square".
As the ancient legend says, Yaroslav the Wise decided to found a city named after him not far from the place where he defeated a bear in a fierce fight. Therefore, a monument to the owner of Russian forests, depicted on the coat of arms of Yaroslavl, simply could not help but be here. The bronze bear, as if climbing a rock, was liked by the residents of Yaroslavl.
Immediately after its opening in 2009, the monument became an iconic landmark of the city. Every hour, from 9:00 to 21:00, a formidable predator emits a terrifying roar, showing who is boss. Having taken a souvenir photo near the monument, make a wish and rub the nose or shaggy side of the bear - then it will definitely come true.
Monument to Athos and plasterer Kolya
- Address: Nakhimson street, 21A.
The monument is installed next to the Afonya beer hall. It was invented and embodied by sculptor Alexey Korshunov. The composition was opened in 2010, on the eve of the 1000th anniversary of Yaroslavl. The initiative to create it belongs to the Yaroslavl Council of Patrons. Ordinary citizens invested in the construction. They voted to create a historical corner on the ancient street.
The fact is that the famous film “Afonya” was filmed in Yaroslavl. The film premiered in 1975. Its main characters instantly became people's favorites. The image of Afoni Borshchov was especially loved by the residents of Yaroslavl. They consider him a congenial person. And they visit his monument with pleasure, taking photographs and selfies against its background.
Cat sculpture
- Address: Deputatskaya, 7.
This composition is located in the historical part of the city. It is an incredibly cute creation. This is a life-size figure of a cat cast in bronze. She seems to be walking along the fence and looking at passers-by. The author of the unusual monument is sculptor Anton Ivashchenko.
The simple and unpretentious plot is fraught with deep meaning. The fact is that in the difficult post-war years, several echelons of furry hunters from Yaroslavl were sent to Leningrad to fight hordes of rodents. Cats saved people, food and art.
Monument "Kopeyka 1612"
- Address: Bogoyavlenskaya Square, 25.
This monument was erected on the initiative of the local Chamber of Commerce and Industry. Opened in 2013. It is a giant copy of a monetary unit that was once minted in Yaroslavl.
The fact is that in 1612 Moscow was captured by the Poles. In this regard, the mint was temporarily located in another city. The tiny silver coin, popularly nicknamed the “scale,” became a real salvation for the Russian resistance. It was with her help that the militias were financed and, in the end, defended their homeland.
The monument is 3 meters high. It repeats the original in the smallest detail. On the front side there is a picture of a horseman with a spear, on the opposite side there is a personal inscription in honor of Tsar Fyodor Ioannovich. The characteristic feature of the Yaroslavl kopek has also been reproduced: the upper part of the side edge is made in the form of a battlement of a fortress wall.
Zero kilometer of the Golden Ring
- Address: Revolutionary street, 13.
Another unique monument. Opened in 2013 in a solemn ceremony. Event date: May 25th. She was not chosen by chance. On this day Yaroslavl turned 1003 years old. The monument is a large cast iron pillar. It was discovered in the estate of the merchant Vakhrameev. Made in the first half of the century before last. The column contains signs with the names of the cities of the Golden Ring with information about the distance to them. At the foot of the memorial sign are the coats of arms of ancient Russian cities, as well as the coat of arms of the Russian Empire.
