Description

Type: Single-day activity
Duration: 2 hours
* Dear travelers! We invite you to take a sightseeing tour of Kostroma! The city tour can be completely pedestrian, or it can be with the use of a car. In 2 to 2.5 hours of time spent on the tour, you will feel the charm of the old town. The streets and embankment of Kostroma are the keepers of the great past and the living history of the city. The unique appearance of the city is determined by the beautiful monuments of antiquity. It is best to start your journey through the ancient city from the central square. For hundreds of years, the central ensemble has practically not undergone any significant changes. A Fire tower stands above the main square – the symbol of Kostroma, which was so admired by Emperor Nicholas back in the 19th century. And opposite the central square there is a chic ensemble of Shopping malls. We will take a walk through the galleries of the Shopping Ensemble, where brisk trade is still going on. The monument to Ivan Susanin is another symbol of our city. More than 400 years have passed since the feat of Ivan Susanin, and so far the hero's feat is covered with secrets and riddles, some of which you can find out by going on a trip around the city. We will also visit the site of the Kostroma Kremlin, where the Cathedral Ensemble, destroyed in Soviet times, is being restored. Let's take a walk to the monument to the founder of the city – Yuri Dolgoruky, proudly sitting on the princely place. The city's embankment is small, but cozy and beautiful. You will see both Ostrovsky's gazebo and the landing stage from the movie "Cruel Romance", to which the steamer "Swallow" docked. And, of course, we will visit the ancient monastery of the city – Bogoyavlensko – Anastasiin, where the main shrine of Kostroma is kept – the miraculous icon of the Fedorovskaya Blessed Virgin Mary, which researchers call the most unsolved and mysterious icon. Why? I invite you to take a tour, and you will learn a lot of interesting things about our city!

Здравствуйте! Меня зовут Лариса. Я работаю экскурсоводом уже более 13 лет. Живу в Костроме, являюсь коренной костромичкой. Закончила Костромской Государственный университет по специальности филология. Прошла специальную подготовку экскурсоводов. Работаю и с детскими группами, и со взрослыми. Езжу по всем городам Золотого кольца. Очень люблю свой город и во время экскурсии с удовольствием расскажу вам о Костроме и покажу все главные достопримечательности. Мои экскурсии проходят в непринужденной форме, динамично, мы много общаемся. Очень многие путешественники стали моими постоянными гостями, даже друзьями. Я рада, что после наших встреч люди хотят вновь приехать в Кострому и рекомендуют посетить наш город своим друзьям!
