Tutai, one of the most spiritual cities in Yaroslavl, stretches along the two banks of the Volga River. Although the historical name of the city, Romanov–Borisoglebsk, is closer to many. The banks of the Volga River, which differ in atmosphere and historical name, along with the intricate terrain, give the city a special charm. The left Bank has been preserved to this day as an open-air museum.

Temples surrounded by ancient merchant houses and stunning landscapes once fascinated Boris Kustodiev. Kustodievsky Boulevard offers the most beautiful view of the right bank of Tutaev – Borisoglebsk. The main object here is the Resurrection Cathedral with the miraculous icon of the All–Merciful Savior of the early 15th century.

And the USSR Park awaits those who are nostalgic for the recent past. In Tutaev, you can visit the museum of Admiral Fyodor Ushakov and the Russian Fleet, go to the Romanov sheep or the Museum of bell art.

A bell or a sheep's wool product will be a great souvenir from here. And don't forget to taste the local specialties – Romanov pies, beer, kvass, Romanov bagels and loaves.
