Responsible information department of "Subtlety of Tourism"
Sightseeing of Yaroslavl is best to begin with the Savior Transfiguration Monastery - the main Yaroslavl museum and a unique monument of Russian architecture. The central building of the monastery is the Transfiguration Cathedral. In addition, there are several museums on the territory of the monastery with interesting exhibits: icons, "nature department", "Treasury", "Word of Igor's regiment" and the history of the city.

The Church of the Epiphany (Epiphany), the Church of Elijah the Prophet , the Church of St. Nicholas of Nadein, the Church of the Nativity of Christ, the Church of St. John the Forerunner. Also interesting is the main Dormition Cathedral of the city under construction (on the site of the blown up in the Soviet period). Many museum churches have unique old frescoes, so they are often closed in winter and in bad weather, in order to preserve them.
