A month ago we went to Yaroslavl for the weekend. Two days passed quickly, leaving only positive emotions. The ancient city is very beautiful, the inhabitants are friendly. In addition to the main attractions, I advise you to visit the Golden Ring Model Show.

The hotel was chosen near the dostprims and with parking - "Ibis Yaroslavl Center". Cozy, neat three-ruble note, it was nice that they settled in right away.
