Plan a trip to Pereslavl Zalessky

Part of Russia's historic Golden Ring, this lovely town is home to monasterial complexes, churches, museums, and Lake Pleshcheyevo.

Pereslavl-Zalessky is located in south of Yaroslavl Oblast, near a border with Moscow Oblast. There is Institute for Program Systems of the Russian Academy of Sciences in the town. The University of Pereslavl is also based in the town. The town is a part of the Golden Ring of Russia. Monuments of church architecture include six architecture complex convents and nine churches. The town has a bewildering array of 'museums' that cater to the tourist trade in the summer, some are quite bizarre, the museum of Cunning and Wit for example. If you can think of it, they have a museum for it in Pereslavl.
