The Volga is <strong>the longest river in Europe and symbolizes Russia itself<\/strong>. So what better place to start than in Moscow? As we have seen before, Moscow is a city that does not stop surprising you. As you begin your trip along the Volga, you will be amazed by the closeness of some of the most famous institutions in the world. <strong>The Kremlin, Red Square, and St. Basil\u2019s Cathedral<\/strong> are all within a stone\u2019s throw of one another. Not to mention Gorky Park, the Bolshoi Theatre and if you are so fancy, <strong>Lenin\u2019s mausoleum<\/strong>. Moscow is a city that you must take in your stride, open-minded and without prejudice. If you plan to spend some time meandering along the streets, your best bet is to check out <strong>Tverskaya Street<\/strong>. This street pops up frequently in Russian literature and is considered to be <strong>one of the most important streets in Russia<\/strong>. Aside from this, you can indulge in some window shopping as it is also one of the most expensive streets in the city. Much like your tour along the Volga, walking through the streets of Moscow is more than just tourism. It is to see the history and development of a nation. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Uglich_a_medieval_city_along_the_Volga\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Uglich, a medieval city along the Volga<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You might not have heard about the quaint beauty of Uglich, nestled along the Volga banks. The real heart of the city is the Kremlin. This was the site of the murder of Ivan the Terrible\u2019s son, shocking Russian society to the core. To commemorate this event, a church was built \u2018Dmitri Church on the Blood\u2019 and it became the focal point of Uglich\u2019s culture. The Kremlin also has a spectacular bell tower and a cathedral, which has some impressive mural artwork inside. The town center itself is like <strong>walking back in time<\/strong>. The houses were mainly built for merchants and they each have their own private gateways. After walking around the town, you can also visit one of a kind museum along the Volga. This is the \u2018Museum of Evil Spirit\u2019. This is a house dedicated entirely to Russian folk tales and superstitions. The house itself is a replica of a peasant\u2019s dwelling and from here, you can participate in a guided tour of Russian folklore. Last but not least, Uglich was the birthplace of Smirnoff vodka. So, there are plenty of places to enjoy a sample of the famous tipple. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Yaroslavl_a_city_lost_in_time_along_the_Volga\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yaroslavl, a city lost in time along the Volga<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yaroslavl is a place that has made its mark on history, being one of the most important along the Volga. Make it a must to see<strong> the Transfiguration Monastery<\/strong>, which is a spectacular cathedral with stunning frescoes. The bell tower also offers unparalleled views over Yaroslavl. If you have gotten the taste for Russian folklore, make it a must to visit <strong>The Residence of Her Majesty The Queen of Maslenitsa<\/strong>. This is a reproduction of early 20th century Yaroslavl and is dedicated to the preservation of Russian culture. The restaurants are great and there are often folklore performances and plays. Speaking of tradition, one of the most beautiful sights along the Volga is that of <strong>The Cathedral of the Assumption<\/strong>. The golden onion domes will remind you of Red Square and it also tells the history of a city, having been destroyed numerous times over the years. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"St_Petersburg_the_jewel_along_the_Volga\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">St Petersburg, the jewel along the Volga<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">St Petersburg is one of the most famous cities in the world, thanks to its historical and cultural relevance. It is also one of the jewels to be found along the Volga. The main street, <strong>Nevsky Prospekt<\/strong>, is where the action happens. The Cathedral of Our Lady of Kazan is a sight to behold. Alongside this, there is a multitude of cafes, bars, and restaurants where you can indulge in some typical Russian cuisine. Afterward, you cannot visit St Petersburg without seeing <strong>The Hermitage<\/strong>. The collection of art is second to none, featuring da Vinci, Picasso, and Rembrandt. To finish off, the Church on Spilled Blood is an excellent example of Russian religious architecture amplified. It is one of the most visually arresting churches to be found along the Volga and is not to be missed. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you decide to journey along the Volga, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.exoticca.net\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">make sure you visit Exoticca<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to organize the perfect trip. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 766px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.exoticca.net\/europe\/eastern-europe\/russia\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d19lhji18zvyho.cloudfront.net\/img\/destination\/country\/russia.png\" alt=\"Russia vacation packages\" width=\"756\" height=\"327\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Russia vacation packages<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"kk-star-ratings kksr-auto kksr-align-right kksr-valign-bottom\"\n    data-payload='{&quot;align&quot;:&quot;right&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;1888&quot;,&quot;slug&quot;:&quot;default&quot;,&quot;valign&quot;:&quot;bottom&quot;,&quot;ignore&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;reference&quot;:&quot;auto&quot;,&quot;class&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;count&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;legendonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;readonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;score&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;starsonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;best&quot;:&quot;5&quot;,&quot;gap&quot;:&quot;4&quot;,&quot;greet&quot;:&quot;Rate this post&quot;,&quot;legend&quot;:&quot;0\\\/5 - (0 votes)&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;22&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Along The Volga River: a trip back in time&quot;,&quot;width&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;_legend&quot;:&quot;{score}\\\/{best} - ({count} {votes})&quot;,&quot;font_factor&quot;:&quot;1.25&quot;}'>\n            \n<div class=\"kksr-stars\">\n    \n<div class=\"kksr-stars-inactive\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"1\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 22px; height: 22px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"2\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 22px; height: 22px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"3\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 22px; height: 22px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"4\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 22px; height: 22px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"5\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 22px; height: 22px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n<div class=\"kksr-stars-active\" style=\"width: 0px;\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 22px; height: 22px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 22px; height: 22px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 22px; height: 22px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 22px; height: 22px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 22px; height: 22px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n                \n\n<div class=\"kksr-legend\" style=\"font-size: 17.6px;\">\n            <span class=\"kksr-muted\">Rate this post<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You may already know about the old imperial wonders of St. Petersburg.
