I have yet to visit Russia, and would like to ask: If it were feasible for you to live anywhere in Russia, where would you choose to live?
Any advice you could provide would be much appreciated.
Thanks. |
I have really only been to two cities: Moscow and Yaroslavl. I thought both were pretty good. Moscow is mind-bogglingly big. Yaroslavl will soon be 1,000 years old!!  |

Yaroslavl is my favorite place that I've been in Russia. The old city center is a UNESCO World Heritage site and really is lovely. There is a long long stretch of beautiful park on the Volga river which is a glorious walk, not far from city center. There is a riverboat for cruises there. Restaurants are really cheap by Moscow standards. People are pretty nice.
Two thumbs up for Yaroslavl. |

I agree with all of this, and if you go you will want to visit the old museum inside the ancient fort in the city center. How interesting. Yaroslavl also has the oldest theatre in Russia. |
