.The main detail of the Kostroma landscape is the Volga river as well!

From the embankment on Molochnaya Gora Street, go up to the monument to Ivan Susanin (the savior of the future Tsar Mikhail Fedorovich lived in a village near Kostroma), and from there to the central square. Streets float here from all over - according to legend, Catherine II wished the city plan to look like an old fan. Near the shopping arcade, where you should go not only for the local cheese and black salt, but also to feel the merchant spirit.

Until 1934, the Kostroma Kremlin stood on a high hill above the river. Now there is a central park, and Lenin sticks out above the trees on a pedestal that was intended for the Romanov monument. Aside from the city center, the Ipatiev Monastery is located on the Kostroma river, in which the first of the Romanovs, the same Mikhail Fedorovich, was called to the kingdom.

Interesting continuation of the cultural program - walking along the Susanin trail. Ivan Susanin winds up the tourists to the big swamp in company with the Polish gentry.

Another remarkable place is the elk farm in the village of Sumarokovo. You can feed elks with carrots, stroke them and, if they don't mind, even hug for a spectacular selfie. From June to September they offer to try elk milk, they say, to be very useful.

What you can see in Kostroma in 1 day:

A cycle ride starts from the central square, named after the semi-mythical hero Ivan Susanin. Here are the fire tower, the guardhouse and other buildings of the XVIII-XIX centuries. Nearby, on Sovetskaya Street, there is a curious Museum of jewelry art. Further, on the Gingerbread rows - the Museum of Nature. Moving towards the street Molochnaya Gora, you will pass by the monument to Susanin, established in the middle of the 20th century. It is also worth a ride through the small streets located around - Flour, Red, Tobacco and other rows. Milk Mountain leads to the Volga riverside. If you turn left, you will find yourself near the central park and Ostrovsky arbor.

It is worth a ride through the park and admire the monument to Lenin - he can safely claim to be the most unusual monument in honor of the leader of the revolution. At the intersection of the embankment and Gornaya street it is worth going up to the old street Lower Debrya. When turned to the right, you will reach one of the famous Kostroma monuments - the wonderful Church of the Resurrection on Debra. Next is to go through the Resurrection Lane to Lagernaya Street - here is the famous Snow Maiden's Tower, a new landmark of Kostroma.

Along Camp Street, one should get to Sovetskaya Street and move along it in the opposite direction, in the direction of Ivan Susanin Square. On this street, one of the main ones, many old houses have been preserved. There is also a Philharmony. Upon reaching the square, turn to Mira Avenue, another major highway in the heart of ancient Kostroma. Here are the historical-architectural and art museum-reserve, circus, the former nobility meeting, Ostrovsky Drama Theater and other interesting objects. Before reaching the Mire Square (you can hardly call it beautiful), you should turn left on Knyazev Street. You will pass by the Church of St. John Chrysostom (on Lavrovskaya Street) and will eventually reach the Epiphany-Anastasia Convent - here you can also complete the walk if tired.
