Nearby cities Yaroslavl, Russia from closest to farthest

Who hasn't heard of Yaroslavl! And I know him firsthand. I've been there more than once, and I adore this city. I just love to walk along it and look at it.

After all, this is one of our oldest Russian cities (so ancient that it remembers the invasion of the Tatar-Mongols ). It is part of the Golden Ring of Russia (it even claims to be the capital of this ring). Named in honor of its founder – Yaroslav the Wise. Very beautiful, with many temples, bell towers, interesting buildings, monuments, parks ... The embankment there is amazing , large, with viewing gazebos and linden trees.

huge have been shot in Yaroslavl :

• "Crew";
• "Big change";
• "Yesenin";
• “Afonya” (there is even a monument to the film);
• "Palmist";
• "Kotovsky".

It’s impossible to list everything!

Settlements that have lost city status

✅ If you have something to add on the topic, don’t be shy and write a comment!

Myshkin

The small town literally made itself. Only a few thousand people live here, but the number of attractions per square meter is simply off the charts. Tourists arriving by boat first of all rush to the Felt Felt Museum in Myshkin, which is conveniently located right next to the pier. On the ledge of Nikolskaya Mountain, in an ancient house, the world’s only mouse museum is located, replenished from all over the world from Japan to the USA and from France to India.

The famous mouse museum is part of the Myshkinsky Folk Museum complex. In the office of the Mouse King you can receive a commemorative ticket with the seal of the Mouse Kingdom on it. Among the less official attractions, one cannot fail to mention the Gallery of Dolls and Doll Miniatures by Olga Pavlycheva. The gallery is usually not included in official tours, but it is certainly worth a visit. All dolls and miniatures are made by hand, with great care and love. Myshkin actively uses its name in the tourism business, so sooner or later the Mouse Palace was supposed to open here (it is also called “Myshkin Chambers”), which is also significant for visiting.

Cities of the Yaroslavl region

There are currently eleven cities in the Yaroslavl region with a total population of 1,241,424 people. Let's look at each of them in detail.

Yaroslavl

Yaroslavl is the largest and one of the oldest Russian cities, the administrative center of the Yaroslavl region. Included in the Golden Ring program. Its historical center, located at the Strelka, the confluence of two rivers where the Kotorosl River flows into the Volga, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

According to the chronicles, Yaroslavl was founded in 1010 by Prince Yaroslav the Wise. About a century and a half after its founding, Yaroslavl was the lowest city of Ancient Rus' along the Volga River, which is why it was a constant target of raids by Bulgar nomads. In 1238, Batu's troops completely devastated and burned Yaroslavl. However, the city was revived as an independent principality and was one of the centers of the struggle for political leadership in Rus', until in 1463 it came under the protectorate of the Moscow principality.

During the reign of Ivan the Terrible and after the accession of the Romanovs, rich merchants flocked to Yaroslavl from all over the country. This was largely due to the fact that during the Time of Troubles, Yaroslavl was one of the cities that accepted the Second People's Militia, which was well financed by local merchants.

Thus, approximately by the middle of the 17th century, Yaroslavl entered its Golden Age: the city’s economy was on a constant rise, the local merchants generously financed the construction of luxurious churches, and thriving trade made this city one of the pillars of the Russian economy until the development of the Urals and Siberia. But despite the further slowdown in economic growth, Yaroslavl remained the commercial and industrial center of the Yaroslavl province and the entire Upper Volga until the 20th century.

Rostov

Rostov, also known as Rostov the Great (not to be confused with the much larger Rostov-on-Don), is a city in Russia located on Lake Nero, approximately 50 km south of Yaroslav. This is one of the oldest cities in Russia, whose origins are documented back in the 9th century. Rostov is part of the Golden Ring of Russia.

Rostov experienced its heyday during the reign of Prince Konstantin Vsevolodovich (1186-1218), son of Vsevolod III the Big Nest. In 1474, together with the lands of the Rostov-Suzdal Principality, the city was annexed to the Moscow Principality, and during the Time of Troubles it was plundered by the Polish-Lithuanian army.

One of the most valuable monuments of Rostov is the Rostov Kremlin, located on the shore of Lake Nero, erected in 1670–1678 during the reign of Metropolitan Jonah (1652–1690). The Rostov Assumption Cathedral is located on the territory of the Kremlin.

Gavrilov-Yam

Gavrilov-Yam is a small town with 16,536 people, located on the banks of the Kotorosl River, 46 kilometers from Yaroslavl. It is the administrative center of the Gavrilov-Yamsky district.

Gavrilov-Yam received the status of a city only in 1938, although in historical chronicles it was mentioned in the middle of the 16th century as the village of Gavrilovo, belonging to the Trinity-Sergius Monastery. The settlement received the name “Gavrilovsky Yam” in 1580, during the reign of Ivan the Terrible. Subsequently, the status of the settlement changed several times, appearing first as Gavrilo-Yamskaya Sloboda, and then as the village of Gavrilov-Yamskoye.

Residents of this small provincial settlement were engaged in fishing and hunting, logging and cheese making, and provided crossings across the Kotorosl River, which served as a trade route between Rostov and Yaroslavl. However, in the 1870s, thanks to the merchant A.V. Lokalov, a textile manufactory was opened in the city, which ensured the rapid economic and demographic growth of the settlement.

Danilov

Danilov is a city in the Yaroslavl region, located 65 km north of Yaroslavl. Founded in the middle of the 12th century as the village of Danilovskoye by Moscow Prince Daniil Alexandrovich, the youngest son of Alexander Nevsky. It was first mentioned in 1592 as Danilovskaya Sloboda. This name was often used in subsequent times.

In the 1770s, under Empress Catherine II, it received the status of a district city of the Yaroslavl governorship (later - the Yaroslavl province).

At the beginning of the 17th century, Danilovskaya Sloboda came under the intervention of Polish-Lithuanian troops, as a result of which more than half of the settlement’s population died. The population recovery began only a century and a half later, which was facilitated by the extension of the trade route from Moscow to the north.

1895 was marked by a huge fire that destroyed more than half of the city, which, of course, did not contribute to the economic and demographic growth of the settlement. By 1917, the population of Danilov was 13,000 people, and today it is 15,000 people.

Lyubim is the administrative center of the Lyubimsky district of the Yaroslavl region. This is the smallest city in the Yaroslavl region and one of the smallest Russian cities in general. It is located at the confluence of the Ucha River and the Obnora River (a tributary of the Kostroma River). It borders with the city of Danilov (38 kilometers) and the Kostroma region (60 kilometers). As of 2022, the population of the town is 5 thousand people.

The city was first mentioned in chronicles in the 16th century, during the reign of Ivan the Terrible. There are no reliable sources about the founding of the settlement, but there is a legend that the king, who loved to hunt in the surrounding forests, founded a fortress here that would protect the area from Tatar raids.

The status of a county town was assigned to Lyubim in 1777 under Empress Catherine II, and the following year the city received a coat of arms.

Rybinsk

Rybinsk is the second largest city in the Yaroslavl region. It is also one of the oldest Russian settlements, first mentioned in the chronicles of Nestor in the 11th century. in 1504, the settlement, which was called “Ust-Sheksna”, was renamed “Rybnaya Sloboda”. Rybinsk, like many other cities, received its modern name in 1777 by decree of Catherine II.

Myshkin

Myshkin is a tiny town with a population of just over 6 thousand people. The former village of the economic department Myshkino was granted city status by decree of the Empress in 1777.

The city was founded in 1152 by Prince Yuri Dolgoruk as the planned capital of Zalesye. Until the 15th century it was called Pereyaslav. In 1175–1302 the city was the capital of the Northern Pereyaslavl Principality. In 1302 it became part of the Grand Duchy of Moscow. Pereslavl-Zalessky was repeatedly destroyed by the Mongols from the mid-13th to the early 15th centuries. In 1611–1612 it suffered from the Polish invasion. In 1708 the city was included in the Moscow province.

Poshekhonye

An article on the topic “We need to win back tourists from other regions!” Summer season in Yaroslavl

One of the most beautiful cities of the Golden Ring. It contains a whole open-air complex, where unique buildings from the 17th to 19th centuries are collected. This place is called the Museum of Wooden Architecture in Suzdal. Arriving here, you can look into the hut of a simple farm laborer and a wealthy peasant, become a guest of a merchant’s house and at the same time visit two churches. You can plunge into history by visiting the Suzdal museum “Shchurovo Settlement”. Here, in addition to ancient huts and buildings from the time of Prince Yuri Dolgoruky, there are many interactive activities in which everyone can participate.

The Intercession Monastery is worth a visit. The monastery, built in the 14th century, still holds many secrets and mysteries. For example, women from high society were exiled here for life. Also, you can begin your acquaintance with ancient Suzdal by visiting the perfectly preserved Kremlin or the Alexander Convent. The Vasilyevsky Monastery occupies a special place among others. It stands a little away from the Kremlin and shopping arcades, on the eastern outskirts of the city. A daring troika with a bright carriage, cheerfully jingling bells, lively dances and ancient rituals of folk festivals, long rows with souvenirs and pickles - all this forms the unique and atmospheric appearance of the Suzdal shopping area, which would also not hurt to visit.

Brief history of the Yaroslavl region

The territory of the modern Yaroslavl region was inhabited about 9 thousand years ago. However, it only developed in the 4th century AD. when the Slavs settled in this region. Over the course of two centuries, cities such as Rostov, Uglich, Yaroslav, Rybinsk and Pereslavl were built, which played a huge role in the further history of the country. Among the princes who ruled these lands were such great figures as Yaroslav the Wise, Yuri Dolgoruky, Alexander Nevsky, Vladimir Monomakh and many others.

At the beginning of the 13th century, these lands were captured by the Mongol horde, and the city of Yaroslavl was burned to the ground. But despite this, he never obeyed. In the 15th century, the Yaroslavl territories came under the protectorate of Moscow.

The Yaroslavl land is going through a difficult time during the Time of Troubles of the 16th century: a plague epidemic, crop failures and mass famine, the struggle for the throne and the war with the Poles, which also affected these lands. However, the Yaroslavl land survived all the disasters and in the new 17th century entered its Golden Age.

The following years of upheaval on this land occurred only at the beginning of the 20th century: revolution, civil war, economic instability and the consequences of the First World War dramatically affected the entire country.

In 1929, the Yaroslavl province became part of the Ivanovo industrial region for seven years, after which, in 1936, it regained its independence.

During the Great Patriotic War, almost the entire industry of the region, including those transferred here during WWI and the Civil War, experienced a severe crisis. There were no military operations in the region, but people worked hard to support the front-line soldiers. After the victory, enormous efforts were made to restore the industrial and agricultural spheres, and although they were ultimately justified, irreparable damage was caused to the region’s economy. As a result, in the last years of the existence of the USSR, the Yaroslavl region was almost in crisis economic conditions.

The Church of John the Baptist is located on the banks of the picturesque Kotorosl River in Tolchkovo. This is a monument of world significance, recommended by UNESCO for showing to tourists. It surprises with its brick patterns and tiles. In terms of the number of mural paintings based on Biblical scenes, and there are about 500 of them, this temple is the very first in the world! The most significant of them were decorated in the form of crowns of silver coinage in the 18th century. Sixteen of the best masters, under the guidance of the hereditary icon painter Dmitry Grigoriev-Plekhanov and the young icon painter Fyodor Ignatiev, were engaged in its interior wall painting. This amazing work was completed in just one year (from June 5, 1694 to July 6, 1695). The temple fascinates with its carved golden iconostasis from 1701 in the Baroque style, and in the chapel of the Kazan Wonderworkers with a unique carved gate from the mid-17th century. At the beginning of the 18th century, a six-tier bell tower in the Moscow Baroque style was built next to the church. The church and bell tower look like a picturesque union; they are the tallest in Yaroslavl (up to 45 meters)! The image of the “Church of John the Baptist”, as a symbol of “the most Russian”, appeared on the main popular banknote of the 21st century - the 1000-ruble Russian banknote. And today, against the backdrop of nature with paths overgrown with grass, this temple looks especially majestic and unique!

Church of Elijah the Prophet (1647-1650) is the most beautiful place in Yaroslavl! The Church of Elijah the Prophet is the main architectural structure of the center of Yaroslavl. The iconostasis of the central temple of the church is unique, and the interior wall paintings and the “Harvest” fresco from 1680 are also impressive. The Church of Elijah the Prophet is the center of the square of the same name according to the reconstruction plan of 1778, from which the streets radiate. The Temple of Elijah the Prophet is valuable because it has retained its original appearance and outwardly resembles the picturesque mansions of the 17th century. This 4-pillar, five-domed temple on a basement is surrounded on three sides by a two-tier gallery, to which two openwork porches in the form of “houses” lead. All architectural details are designed to emphasize its lightness and upward aspiration. The tented bell tower is adjacent to the northern corner of the temple. On major Christian holidays during the summer season, church services have been held since 1989, when the main altar of the church was consecrated again.
