Myshkin, the smallest city in the Yaroslavl region, immerses you in the atmosphere of a merchant province of the early 19th century. The views of the Volga and Yukhoti are rare in their picturesqueness, a long two-tiered embankment, ancient streets with wooden houses decorated with carved lace, non-standard museums and ancient Russian cuisine... Myshkin knows how to charm guests!

Time seemed to have stopped here. Not only the historical buildings have been preserved in the city, but also the unhurried rhythm of provincial life. There are no traffic lights in Myshkin, but there is a whole block of museums and comfortable places for travelers to relax.

Myshkin is

Myshkin, nicknamed little Petersburg at one time, found himself in disgrace after the revolution, was demoted from town to village, almost lost his name, survived collapse and oblivion, but managed to revive and become one of the most attractive places for guests.

The capital stone houses of merchants and nobles have survived in the city. A Baroque iconostasis with several ancient icons has been preserved in the church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker of the XVIII century. The majestic Assumption Cathedral, built with donations from the townspeople in the early 19th century, designed by Johannes Manfrini, remains the architectural dominant of the city today.

And Myshkin's main feature is his numerous museums.
