Uglich is a city on the river of time, which, at first glance, is frozen here. "As if from a fairy tale" is how tourists who visited Uglich for the first time characterize it. Historical buildings have been preserved in Uglich, allowing it to be perceived as a single architectural ensemble.

The indomitable Russian spirit is especially felt here. The city, like a phoenix bird, was restored several times from the ashes after complete destruction.

The landscapes of Uglich, which open from the steep bend of the Volga, have long been loved by tourists arriving in the city by motor ships.

Uglich is older than Yaroslavl, and it has repeatedly found itself in the epicenter of significant events in Russian history. Today, the church of Tsarevich Dimitri on the Blood, and the chambers where the youngest son of Ivan the Terrible lived in exile, remind of this. Refresh your memory of the events of Russian history, take a walk along the beautiful embankment, stroll through the atmospheric museums. Russian russians have an extremely wide range, as well as the Russian soul itself – from the museum of the history of hydropower, whistles, or a doll gallery to the museum of the History of Russian Vodka, the museum of playing cards, or prison art.

Master the Spider bike in the Arsenal of unusual Samokat bicycles, go kayaking with an instructor in the summer, go to a master class with local craftsmen and certainly try the products of the Uglich cheese makers. Leaving Uglich without local craft cheese is unforgivable.
