Modern Yaroslavl is a clean and well-kept city, in which much has been done for tourism. For example, a lot of information signs on the streets, cafes of European level, stunning expositions in museums and a charming embankment.

In addition, in 2010 Yaroslavl celebrates its millennium! The round date of this beautiful city will attract a lot of tourists to the city, so it is worthwhile to think about hotel reservations in advance.

The only inconvenience, which we hope will be fixed in the near future, is the absence of tourist information offices, where they can tell about all the sights of the city and sell excursions. So far, this function is performed by museum curators, passers-by and bookstore sellers, where you can buy a city map and guide.
